Stage 1 remapping in Grantham
The A1 runs along the western side of Grantham, and Moto Grantham North Services is 5 km from the town. Long commutes show up clearly too: in the 2021 Census, 10.6% of working residents in the Grantham built-up area travelled 30 km or more to work, more than double the England and Wales figure of 4.4%, even though census day fell in a lockdown. On regular A1 runs, Stage 1 remapping is felt as easier overtaking and stronger pull when you join from a slip road. Only the engine's software settings change, so no parts are added. Any change in fuel economy is modest and depends on how you drive.

For a Kuga or Qashqai doing A1 miles with a full car or a trailer, extra mid-range torque is where a remap earns its place.
