I'm no slouch when it comes to motorsports history, especially from the F1/GP/sports racer/rally era from the late 50s until the mid 80s... That said, corporate engineers just aren't terribly memorable people, in the grand scheme of things. Lead engineer for the E30 M3? No idea. Ur-Quattro, Lancia Delta S4, Stratos, Porsche 956/962/959...all landmark cars made famous by legendary drivers who developed them, but no idea who the engineers were...
That's not intended as a slight against them, but rather to point out that a legendary vehicle typically gets developed by great drivers over some time, rather than clever engineers right off the bat....
