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for 1996 season Ford ditched the 4WD program and had just Schübel run 2 works FWD cars (with bad results, car was outdated by now) while in second season half Team Wolf entered with 2 FWD Mondeos as privateers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
Weird to see the Mercedes.

Interesting to see different projects but from manufacturers point of view it makes more sense to put all funding in one project.
