Steve logged on via TeamViewer to their XE powered Mk2 Escort to set up the closed loop powershift system in their MBE9A4 ECU.
Message received from Dougal Brown Motorsport after they had completed the Snowman Rally
Many thanks for your persistence to sort the IT issues we faced before we even got going on the ECU updates!
Everything you did is working nicely and I ended up configuring the ignition to retard when the Ignition Cut Signal is received from the Geartronics ECU. It works perfectly and sounds the business! Best sounding mk2 in the rally!
I have attached a few photos of the car that I’d welcome you to use on social media / website. Please share a link to my Facebook page when you do share the photos. All went very well on Saturday at the Snowman Rally. We finished 16th overall, 1st in class and 3rd 2wd. A great start to our 2023 championship!
I’ll be in touch soon about setting up launch control next. Just the basic version that you explained we can do with my existing ECU and one wheel speed sensor on the front.
Thanks. Dougal
Snowman Rally, 2023
