Stage 1 remapping in Worthing
Without a motorway on its list of main roads, Worthing relies on A-roads such as the A27, A24 and A259. Vans are common here: the Worthing council area had 86 privately kept vans for every 1,000 private cars at the end of June 2026, the 9th highest ratio among the 104 largest towns we cover. For a loaded van on roads like these, a Stage 1 remap helps most with pulling away and overtaking, because the gain is mid-range torque. The change is to the engine's software, inside its limits, with nothing bolted on, and the gearbox and clutch set how far it should go.
