What Is Torque Mapping? | Torque Based ECU Tuning

What was great, is now even better! But how does torque control work in MoTeC's firmware update?

There is no shortage of quality ECU options on the market these days, and @MoTeC Global are certainly well set up with their product lineup and software layout which allows the purchase of some packages giving those with the right skillset almost limitless possibilities. On top of this though there is of course still internal development, and the recent release of torque-based control features as discussed with Brad Sheriff of Racetech Performance at the @World Time Attack Challenge.

The biggest takeaway from the discussion here other than added performance capabilities is also the fact that if you don't want to leverage them, you are still fine to use your MoTeC M1 ECU as you always have.
