Our story
From a garage in Stuttgart to the world market leader.
In 2008, a small team of automotive engineers in Stuttgart set out to democratise engine performance. At the time, ECU remapping was expensive, risky, and reserved for specialists. We believed it could be made safe, reversible, and accessible to every driver.
Today, RaceChip operates from a 12,000 m² facility in Göppingen with over 500 employees. We serve drivers in 45+ markets, have calibrated maps for 4,312 vehicle models, and shipped more than two million performance modules worldwide.
"We don't just tune engines — we engineer experiences."

What drives us
Our values
01 · Precision
Every map tested 12 h on our dyno before release. We measure twice, calibrate three times, and only ship when the numbers speak for themselves.
02 · Integrity
No overpromising. Our published power figures are verified by independent third parties. What we claim is what you get — every single time.
03 · Innovation
R&D team of 60 engineers pushing the boundaries of ECU communication, signal processing, and powertrain optimisation every day.
