There are a couple of strange things too, eg Astra SRi listed in 2 classes, Focus XR5T and Golf GTi in Prod Sedan/Hatch but Mondeo XR5T and Golf GT in Prod Sport. Needs a bit of a clean-up.

Focus and Mondeo are different animals. Like the Maserati Granturismo and Quattroporte, the bigger and smaller car have the same driveline but very different bodies and suspension tune. It is right for them to be in different classes... Just as a Ford Territory Turbo shouldn't have to run against the XR6T.
Same too for the Golf.
The Golf GTI (never "GTi") has a very strong 2.0L turbo engine whereas the GT has a peaky little 1.4L motor with a tiny turbo and miniature supercharger.
There is a big speed difference between the two.
