Super Touring Program
Touring Car Introduction and History
RAETECH became involved as a consultant to the Dodge North American Touring Car program beginning in 1995. RAETECH supplied engineering support for car development during the '96 and '97 race seasons. President David Finch provided trackside Race Engineering for David Donahue's car ultimately leading to the Driver's Championship in 1997.
RAETECH was tasked with designing a new World Touring car based on the European Chrysler Neon. The debut of the race car was scheduled to coincide with the introduction of the redesigned 2000 Neon. Unfortunately the program was abandoned by Chrysler during reorganization for the Daimler-Chrysler merger. Project highlights are shown below.
