Same thing, got slow down and car wouldn't move forward. Disengaging D and Re engaging got it driving again, but I'm a bit concerned that this isn't healthy. Probably wont be trying this again for a while!
Did you try this order?

Tap tap tap

Release brake
Mash gas



Make sure when you mash the pedal the brake is no longer engaged. The car won't move until a half second later anyway, it has to spool. Check the video I posted. I launched today at 5.5k no problems. Tap tap tap up to 3-4k, release brake and mash gas at the same time(brake released slightly before you mash gas), the rev jumps up to 5ish without the brake. It all happens within a half second or so. If done right you won't get the slow down light.

And yes you are correct it isn't healthy. But it sure is quick.
