They aren't looking at the peak torque, they're measuring the instantaneous power at all times from the torque reading. Australian Supercars already has a stupid rule that regulates the maximum average power output across the upper part of the RPM range. In a BoP category torque sensors would give you the ability to enforce the exact power output across the entire rev range.
Once again good for making sure nobody cheated up their GT3 engine (the stated aim was letting them run more production engines rather than needing to engineer the things to work with air restrictors just to have a means of controlling performance), terrifying for a class where people are actually trying to improve technology.
