If somebody entered a Chevron B8 with a borrowed V5 from a completely differend road car, that is really very cheap.
It was a fad a few years ago to do the POM in the most ridiculous car possible, preferebly bought for 500 pounds off Ebay or something like that.

That tradition still lives on - this year it was BMW 330s, last year it was MG F/TFs, etc. And there are always a dozen or so Frazer Nashes!
The event is run as a sprint/time trial in terms of car prep and safety equipment, but because there are multiple cars on track the minimum licence requirement is the basic race licence (i.e. ARDS test passed). It used to be required that the car was driven to the event, but that was dropped a few years ago and plenty of cars come to the event on trailers/in enormous trucks with a support crew.
