The HSCC Dunlop Cup is for the supertourers but bolstered with other cars. It's more like the Formula Saloons of old. It's only really the odd Sierra and M3 that ever ran with the ST's.

The older cars have always tended to run in their own (MRL) series except for the Classic.

I also think that the ever increasing prices of some of these older cars has started to deter owners from running them? There's more than enough of the m out there after all.
