Nope , torque is the power out of corners,without it youre way behind when it does become a BHP race on the straight .The AON Focus is a case in point , same engine all year, diferent mapping and slightly longer inlet tracts to produce the low( er ) down torque required to move the car !
This is all relevant tho , the aim is to Not dip below 6500 revs all lap !
