1998 Super Touring Car Cup

The 1998 STW season was the fifth season of the Super Touring Car Championship . Since the DTM no longer existed at that time, the 1998 STW season was considered the German touring car championship. Ten race weekends took place, each of which had two races. Johnny Cecotto won his second title after 1994 in the BMW 320i.
