Well, STW was killed off to make way for the new DTM. The writing probably was on the wall anyway, but from hindsight (I was only 14 years old back then and loved STW and even super-production DTC) it seems like it was seen as an okay series, but as a poor replacement for DTM during the 'interregnum' of 1997-1999.
