The Golf R let's you pick the RPM you want to launch at every time, that's very useful! If the surface has good grip you can launch at 3,000 rpm. Sometimes 1,800 rpm gives minimal wheel spin.

I have autocrossed for years in 5 different states and have never once met a driver who uses launch control out of the start box. Unless you're at a drag strip, launch control is pointless, and even then it's a gimmick at best IMO. Just brake boost the car, no different than launch control if that's what you really want.
