Group E features four different subclasses:

  • Category I: Vehicles comparable to Category I must comply with the homologation criteria of Group N, Group A or Group R and have at least 4 seats and their original structure must remain identifiable at any time.
  • Category II-SH: Silhouette-type cars (Cars with the appearance of a large production car with 4 seats);
  • Category II-SC: Sports cars (Two seater competition cars, open or closed, built especially for competition);
  • Category II-SS: Single-seater track type cars of International Formula or Free Formula cars.

    • Cars

    Many cars fall within the rules of Group E. Examples are the Tatuus N.T07 (SS) and the Renault Mégane Trophy (SH).
