In 1999 there were several classes of franchises, as RECs were then known. Level 1 for established teams that entitled them to enter multiple cars (it fluctuated from 2-4 at various times), Level 2 for one-car teams and Level 3 for privateers. IIRC, PAE (Caterpillar) and Briggs Motorsport (Supercheap) both had a Level 2s. When Briggs Motorsport expanded to a 3 car operation in 2002, it purchased Fred Gibson's Level 1 franchise.
