The entry list is less than crystal clear. I have no idea what they're doing with the X-Type (nor why anyone would race one) but I think the TT they're referring to is the original (mkII) 2.0T FWD - basically a dressed up Golf GTI.
I could be wrong though as the TT is a strange beast which can be had in six forms:
FWD 1.8T
FWD 2.0T
AWD 2.0 TDI
AWD 3.2 (VR6 like the Golf R32)
AWD 2.0T (TTS - bigger turbo than normal 2.0T)
AWD 2.5T (TTRS - five cylinders with turbo)
The TTS firmly belongs in class A. For class C you'd
probably be looking at the standard 2.0T FWD car - pretty much the same as a Golf GTI.
But the WRX doesn't belong in class C anyway!
The current rex has all wheel drive, 195 kw and 343 Nm. It belongs in the High Performance AWD class with these cars:
Alfa 159 V6: 191 kW, 322 Nm
Alfa Brera: 191 kW, 322 Nm
Audi S3: 188kW, 330 Nm
Mazda 6 MPS: 190 kw, 380 Nm
Lancer Evo 8-10: 195-206 kw, 355-422 Nm
Liberty GT: 195 kw, 350Nm
Impreza STI: 221 kw, 407 Nm
Golf R32 184kw, 320 Nm
Passat R36 220kw, 350 Nm
Volvo S40 T5 162kW, 320 Nm
They're all roughly on par... except maybe the Volvo.
