It's not subtle is it?

Is it based purely on engine capacity?

It's based on engine capacity for classes A-D, everything four wheel drive goes in class E no matter what the engine size. Capacity split is as follows:
Class A: Up to and including 1400cc
Class B: Over 1400 and up to and including 1600cc
Class C: Over 1600 and up to and including 2000cc
Class D: Over 2000cc
So within a class you'll have quite a variation in car spec - in Class C for example you'll have cars with a fairly standard 2 litre engine all the way up to ex works F2 kit cars and space framed thingies like the Darrians. Similarly there will be Escorts in a variety of specs in Class C and D. The top seeded car is a 1600 (Davrian) - it weighs nothing and has the engine and gearbox towards the back of the car so it's a bit of a beast and suits Brands very well.
