Brake torquing meaning

Brake torquing definition

A procedure generally used in performance tests to improve the off-the-line acceleration of a car equipped with an automatic transmission . It is executed by firmly depressing the brake with the left foot, applying the throttle with the car in gear to increase engine rpm, then releasing the brakes. Brake torquing is particularly effective with turbocharged cars because it helps overcome turbo lag.
