Stage 1 remapping in Corby
Longer commutes stand out in Corby's census figures. In the 2021 Census, 6.2% of working residents in the Corby built-up area travelled 30 km or more to work, above both the England and Wales figure of 4.4% and the North Northamptonshire council area's 5.7%, and that was on a lockdown census day, when commuting was lower than usual. For anyone covering that kind of distance in a diesel, Stage 1 remapping is mostly about how relaxed the drive feels. It changes the fuel, boost and timing settings in software, within the engine's limits, to give more mid-range torque, with nothing bolted on. The result is more pull in hand when traffic speeds up again after a hold-up.
