nothing much retro left on the escort

Sounded like a nice retro BDA!

[mini93]

naa all the rally cars sound like that to be honest and most of them are YB cosworth jobbies either on jenvy throttle bodies or mahoosive webbers....ohh how i want a sequential gearbox too

[CobraV8]

oh... sounds good anyway.

I was a bit stupid watching that - I was thinking.... That is changing gears by itself... how is that happening, then noticed it had flappy paddles on the steering wheel!

when we were watching it my mate asked if he was changing gear with his elbow!

It looks like the paddles activate a servo that moves the gearstick, I am sure you can see the gearstick leaping back and forward. Pretty tricky.
