The most experienced person in the car has always determined the car's class.
Also, TRC's class structure has always been considered a general guideline.
Rallyists are encouraged to discuss their situation with the rallyemaster or other club personnel
if they have previous or out-of-area rallye experience,
or if they think they would not be competitive in the class assigned by the structure.
