I've now set-up championships for similar cars, on period circuits, editing the seasons and adding additional categories that each car is classified in (this doesn't seem to affect online play). It's not historically accurate, but it's a more competitive race when it's just Corollas vs RS1600s.

I saw 4 Sierras in one race (of 6) online last night.
Sorry for delay, realife gets in the way sometimes

Not had chance to look at it in detail myself but a friend has and said the way the rfm and classes have been setup make it impossible to do this. Its not just the rfm that needs editing but all the cars too. The problem is the naming of the classes, to do the kind of thing you are looking for the entire way the classes are setup needs to be rewritten.

The classes are setup in a way in which many car makes are lumped into one heading. Its those headings that are selected from the rfm as available, and thats why you'll have trouble picking just escorts or corollas. I can understand why its been done the way it has, it just makes single / dual make championships impossible.
