As others have highlighted, the cars are eligible to run - they aren't being discriminated against. Any lacking volume in regards to touring/saloon entries is the result of decisions made by touring car competitors - not the organisers. For what ever reason, be it bruised egos or genuine disinterest, many touring car teams have consciously opted against competing.
This topic has already been discussed to death in this thread.
