Div3 is the T3F class from ice-racing and is also used in Autocross. In Belgium all the classes are build on Group A which is of course also a rallyclass. In the Nordic countries the supernational class is also used in rallies and hillclimbs. Even Euro Div1a is derived from Super1600/A6 rallycars.

The problem with that, is that every country has it's own regulations and exceptions.

Another point which could be a "problem" in the future is the current trend of downsizing and turbocharging of engines. Only Honda is fully commited to N/A, but Renault and BMW have partially turned into turbocharged engines. maybe we should consider a new type of Div 1a in the distant future: 1.2-1.4 turbocharged FWD cars...
