Having less torque at low revs means you stall easier trying to keep the speed down. That's why with such cars you use higher revs, and use the clutch to avoid transmitting too much speed to the wheels. That adds difficulty (and it doesn't do the clutch much good).
However, high torque at low revs means you can creep off on very low revs without stalling (and without having to slip the clutch). If you are on low revs, you have less chance of wheelspin. It is particularly useful starting up a hill.
I have now experienced this many times over the past two weeks or so. Or am I like the bumble bee - it shouldn't work, but I don't know it shouldn't work so it does?
