The thing that you're missing here (the thread title is misleading, it's not SCV8), is that Mr Tucker's idea is to de-regulate, not to regulate.
The Snetterton opener to the Dunlop V8 Supercar Challenge will run without any regulation what so ever - to see what's what, and how fast some of us are unleashed!
The idea is to make it very simple in terms of rules - intake restrictor based on a well used formula that works. Other than that, very little in the way of restrictions to open the doors to just about anything that meets the category - ie: it's V8 powered.
Look at it this way - here's a few of the car's for Snetterton:
TVR Sagaris (a quantity of them eventually)
TVR Tuscan's (not sure how many)
Marcos' (plural)
DTM Astra
Australian V8 Ford Falcon
V8 Star Opel and Jaguar
Thundersaloon Astra V8 (mine)
Peugeot 407 (as seen at Autosport)
BMW V8's (various)
Lots of obsolete machinery there, all V8 powered, and all very Super indeed.
