Brawn GP chief executive Nick Fry warned the FIA that the FOTA teams are serious about forming a breakaway series if no agreement is met over next season.
The message comes ahead of what Fry sees as a "critical" meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Paris on Wednesday as they address the row that has threatened the existence of Formula One.
FIA president Max Mosley has so far belittled certain members of FOTA - describing them as "loonies" - and derided the organisation itself, claiming it has no chance of succeeding.
Mosley seems unconcerned about the FOTA threat and believes they will fall into line, but Brawn chief Fry has insisted the threat of a breakaway series is a very real one.
"The alternative championship is a very realistic proposition. It's not an idle threat as some people hope," Fry said.
