'prestigious' championships anyhow but possibly in a more clandestine way.

There is a requirement that either the car model and/or component had to have had 5000 made in any one year or have been homologated as such but even that at the committee's discretion can be altered for example the inclusion of some Jaguar models. Its called flexibility but NOT a free for all and I think it works also some no longer available components like C/R Avenger gearboxes are allowed to be substitured with a Ford unit etc etc.
Just the same as the FIA regulations have been since about 2000 with regard to the cars and with regard to the parts the same except the changes have to be approved by FIA Historic Motor Sport commission.
