In terms of officially licensed Super Touring race cars, RaceRoom is far ahead of the competition, and it is set to extend that lead later this year with two more. The Ford Mondeo and Peugeot 406 have been confirmed as in development, and work-in-progress images have been shared. The Mondeo was set apart from the rest of the 1990s touring car era by using a V6 engine, which required some trick engineering by British firm Prodrive to lower its centre of gravity and adjust its weight balance. That’s the model seen here, one of the later Mondeos, which were significantly more competitive than earlier examples, this one being either a 1999 or 2000 specification. This is identifiable not just by the swooping headlights, but also the dramatically wider track and snug front wings compared to the 1997 and 1998 versions. While the Ford finally achieved a British Touring Car Championship in 2000, the Peugeot could only dream of such success, failing to win a single race in that series. It was a different story in Germany, however, as Laurent Aïello took it to the big German manufacturers in their own championship, the STW, claiming the title in 1997. He also finished runner-up in 1998 and third in 1996, by far and away the most successful driver of a 406. Aïello would move to the BTCC and Nissan in 1999, although the Primera won’t be coming to RaceRoom soon, sadly. “The only car we are not touching at the moment is the Nissan Primera as there was no chance to get a license done with Nissan,” said RaceRoom’s Director of Strategy and Sales, Christian Wacker-Baur. He was also able to confirm that the Mondeo came about thanks to a new Ford licensing deal that also included the Mustang GT3, which will
