You should start the car and drive immediately - this is the fastest way to get the oil circulating and thus protect the engine. Once the engine has warmed up and is showing full revs available you can use full throttle if required.
It is also important with turbo engines after a hard drive to drive the last few miles moderately to allow the turbos and other components to cool.
