OVERVIEW
Audi A4 quattro Super Touring chassis ST06 contributed to championship-winning campaigns in Italy and Belgium. Built by Audi Sport in 1995, it served as Emanuele Pirro’s primary Italian Superturismo car before moving to the Belgian VW Audi Club.
Its documented drivers include Pirro, Jean-François Hemroulle, Vincent Vosse, Terry Moss and Christophe Dechavanne. The register traces its competition history through Belgian Procar in 1996 and 1997 and a French Supertourisme appearance at Magny-Cours in October 1997.
1995 ITALIAN SUPERTURISMO CHAMPIONSHIP
Pirro raced ST06 as number 1 for Audi Sport Italia, recording ten victories in its 18 documented races. Double wins at Binetto, Imola and the August Misano meeting accounted for six of those victories.
The chassis finished every listed race, reaching the podium 15 times and never placing lower than fifth. Pirro switched to spare chassis ST03 for the Vallelunga finale, so those final two races belong to a separate chassis record.

- Chassis history and results: Audi A4 ST06 — Super Touring Register.
- Italian driver record: Emanuele Pirro — Super Touring Register.
- Belgian season context: 1996 Belgian Procar Championship — Wikipedia.
- Italian substitution: Pirro used ST03 at the 1995 Vallelunga finale; those results are excluded from ST06’s table.
- Belgian driver change: Vosse took over ST06 for the final two 1996 meetings. Hemroulle’s remaining results should not be assigned to this chassis.
- Classification differences: Belgian race classifications follow the register and may differ from Wikipedia’s championship-scoring positions.
- 1997 coverage: No September Zolder results are listed for ST06. Their omission is treated as a gap in chassis attribution.
- French results: Both Magny-Cours victories reproduce the register’s classifications; no championship title or overall season position is inferred.
- Correction to the earlier brief: The register lists Dechavanne winning both Magny-Cours races, rather than only the opening race.
