There was a great article in the shortlived Touring Car World Magazine about the STW/BTCC 406s. To summarize, the STW 406's success was due to it's more powerful (Pug Sport developed) engines and having an aero pckge properly suited to the German tracks. MSD had to develop their own engines and modify the STW aero kit to run on BTCC tracks. The STW aero kit was more for highspeed aerodynamics of German tracks while the BTCC needs more handling/grip oriented aero kit.
It took 2-3 yrs after the Pugs withdrew from the STW that the STW spec engines circulated around the rest of the world. The engines really made the existing 406s much more competitive, especially in the ASTC! Last edited by kmchow; 9 May 2004 at 22:46. |

Why did other teams (who were official Peugeot entries) not get these Peugeot Sport factory engines?
