no they didn't , Opel and Alfa Romeo were not present in Japan and some of the other markets the series was going
why do you think Alfa and Opel walked away which caused the demise of the series at the end of 1996 ?
also FIA is blamed for the low attandence of spectators because they were charging too much money so tickets were too expensive
and Eccelstone came in with the idea of having 3.5 L engines on proto racers which effectively killed Group C , of course it just happened FIA just "listen" to him
