I usualy lift off just a bit when changing up, I know it sounds silly but when I want to have fun I just slide the seat forword a notch or 2.
Now I would like to know how to get a flying start with a tip, is it just a case of putting it in M knocking it down to first then flooring it, or is there some way of reving with the brake on then letting all hell loose?

I never use mine in D so all the following applies when driven in M. The sensation of slipping is the torque converter doing it's job. It's a fluid clutch and slips until it reaches a given RPM when you can feel it locking up and giving full drive. It's more noticeable if you are being lazy and pull off in second when you can really notice it. It's normal behaviour. Pulling away from the lights in a cloud of smoke is never going to happen in a tip
Now if I remember correctly there are five maps depending on how the car is being driven along with throttle position sensors. Mine only ever seems to use two maps that I can notice, economy mode or full chat. If you have enough space floor the car and hold it a couple of times in M and you'll really feel the characteristics change. The auto change up holds off right up to the red-line and the whole car becomes much more responsive. The steering change becomes much quicker too. If you want to avoid the auto change up going into a corner back off the throttle slightly and it holds on to the gear.
