Nissan also experimented in 1995 STW with 4WD Primera and it was a total failure too
yes Team Schübel was in charge of the 4WD program while Eggenberger used the FWD one, there was also Team Wolf but they were more privateer
for 1996 season Ford ditched the 4WD program and had just Schübel run 2 works FWD cars (with bad results, car was outdated by now) while in second season half Team Wolf entered with 2 FWD Mondeos as privateers
after that Ford never apperead again in STW grid , also think the last time Eggenberger appeared in any series |
There have been two mythical Merc Supertouring projects that I have heard mention of years ago. One built by Dynamics and one by Prodrive. Both vetoed by Mercedes and apparently bought and crushed by them before ever seeing the light of day. Indeed there was talk in Ireland of a Merc BTCC project very recently that came to nothing for similar reasons
