I'll have to browse the GTR forums to see if they break after a few launches like you suggest.

Good to have another opinion on this. I knew it didn't sound right and definitely sounds like something they'd work out.

wasn't with 2009's. It's an issue with LC1. Most 2009's have been reflashed to LC2 or LC3 so "Launch Control" is all under warranty now.
