Jaguar wouldnt supply cars ..... just one privateer in Japan called SUNTEC , for one year .
Sauber ..... oh , they wouldnt sell chassis either .
Toyota sold the last years chassis .
Nissan ..... did a good job .
Mazda kept their howler to themselves .
Nobody made their chassis more available than Porsche , which also led to the demise of group C , cuz the others wouldnt supply the machinery .
Porsche have done tenfold more for sporstcar racing than anyone else ..... not through charity ..... but because of good , solid business sense .
They have made more money from GT2 , than Group C ever did .
