Stage 1 remapping in Lancing and Sompting
Lancing and Sompting recorded more driving to work than the Adur council area as a whole: in the 2021 Census, 53.1% of working residents drove, against 47.8% for Adur and 45.1% across England and Wales. Census day fell in a lockdown, when commuting was lower than usual. When the car is how you get to work, Stage 1 remapping is a way to make that drive easier. It is a software change to the fuel, boost and timing settings, kept within the engine's limits, and on a diesel it brings stronger mid-range torque, so the car responds sooner when you need to merge or pass. Fuel economy may change a little, depending on how you drive.
