Too Afraid to Ask

It's a technique used by drivers to rev their engines really high before they start racing. It helps the car go faster off the line when the race starts.

Technical Definition

Two-step is a performance feature used in cars, particularly in drag racing, that allows the driver to set the engine at a high RPM while the car is stationary. This helps to build boost in turbocharged engines before launching the car, resulting in quicker starts.
