01
Standard hardware
Stage 1
Calibration for a mechanically standard, healthy vehicle. Targets remain vehicle-specific rather than copied from a headline figure.
Remapping
Stage 1, Stage 2 and beyond
A stage name is only shorthand. The correct scope depends on the exact engine, software, fitted hardware and condition of the vehicle.
02
Defined scope
Stage 1+
Where appropriate, an intermediate calibration scope can reflect a stronger supporting setup or a different driver brief.
03
Hardware-led
Stage 2 and developed builds
Hardware-dependent work begins with an agreed parts list, test plan and realistic limits. A label never replaces engineering judgement.
