Only if they wanted to Peter. They could, as at present, race on their period rubber.

Nothing to suggest that older cars would be limited to the newer categories. This is for people who are keen to get a second race and want to use newer rubber for that race, and get that rubber at a sensible cost.
If they want to move to the newer category permanently, I guess that they could fit bigger brakes, but nobody I have spoken to wants to do that as it would render their car ineligible for the period championship.
