The Asch Mondeo built and entered by Eggenberger. Built by Ford Racing was in reality Schubel or was it Ford in Cologne? Shame Mercedes never entered super touring. |

the closest thing to that was this converted ex Group A 190 in 1995 Australia with NOKIA sponsorship which did a few races
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Trr4RlHKMM 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for 1996 season Ford ditched the 4WD program and had just Schübel run 2 works FWD cars (with bad results, car was outdated by now) while in second season half Team Wolf entered with 2 FWD Mondeos as privateers after that Ford never apperead again in STW grid , also think the last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 Last edited by porsche962fan; 28 Dec 2023 at 16:15. |

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

A domestic only programme below Class 1 was not attractive. |

1995 STW Salzburgring
a grid of 29 starters , BMW got a 25 KG weight reduction ( and some development) immediately showed 1-2-3-4 , Audi was hopeless on this track starts at 19.25 , some nice onboards too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFNEDfdjifA also the first STW race for a certain Steve Soper Last edited by porsche962fan; 31 Dec 2023 at 20:14. |

well the STW was probably 2nd only to BTCC in terms of super touring awesomeness
there were less manufacturers but actually more works cars on the grid and more privateers than BTCC, 1995 JTCC also seemed were competitive and well supported , looking forward when YT finally introduces automated translations... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ktw...0xXZxk2PQY70Zy some works BMW and Cavaliers but lots of japanese cars Honda, Nissan, Toyota and Mazda |

Now that we're talking about super touring, this was the first race of the South American Super Touring Championship, aka "La copa de las naciones", during the weekend of the 1997 Bs. As. Grand Prix.
The damage of Di Palma's Peugeot is always on my mind, it was really weird to that to happen and not losing the floor altogether. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVQ2i8MTIpE As a side note, this wasn't a points race because some of the cars were fresh from the boats/customs and the Pugs (attended by Edgardo Fernandez) didn't have the 18'' wheels, and by extention, the reglamentary tyres for the race. |

Thruxton is often vilified for producing boring touring car racing these days. This video seems to suggest that it is the modern day touring cars that are the problem rather than the circuit.

The debate is not for here, but people needs to undestand that the teams undestand a lot more on the technical side than some years ago, what works is known, so everyone goes there, its the natural thing to do.
