indeed

in 1986 Group A racing was its hight , the ETCC of 1986 had works cars from Rover, BMW , Ford, Holden , Volvo and field was quite balanced, everyone could win a race

lower classes had works or semi-works cars from Alfa Romeo, Mercedes and Toyota


then Bernie comes along transformes into into WTCC 1987 and it goes down the toillet

Volvo, Rover , Mercedes leave the series Alfa Romeo follow the next year.. and 1988 was the last ETCC season by that point in was farse the Sierra RS 500 had total domination in top class and the BMW M3 in lower class
