grichie87 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
the whole ethos of the championship is that its a clubman championship, most of the cars in it are relatively low budget home built cars, as you know in motorsport the more money and development you put into a car the faster you will go,

it used to be that a non origonal cylinder head, gearbox or engine automatically put a car in class A, this was relaxed because it was too stiff a penalty,

what we now do is apply a 50% multiplication factor to an engines capacity if any of the above are non origonal

To keep cost down most cars will run a better/stronger gearbox from a model of car in the range, but not fitted as standard ie F20/16 in a Nova/Astra a T5 in a Escort, a type 9 5 speed in a Escort, 309 or Gti6 in a Peugeot 205 ect ect.
Also if you have a non orignal gearbox and engine block/head does that increase the engine size by 100% or 150%?????
