Talk amongst the teams seems to assume that a new 3rd class will be forthcoming. Some sources indicate that TVR are thinking of entering a car themselves (Tamora?) in that category which is why they're keen that Tuscan Challenge cars don't enter it.

Not sure of criteria but people are suggesting older Porkers, ex Ferrari Challenge cars, Tamora, Tuscan Challenge cars etc.

I will be suuprised if the Tuscan Challange is allowed to entry because at some tracks it will beat the GTO cars.

Agreed. They'd need to be restricted. They're a bit of a loophole really as it's thought the category would be for road going cars, but so many Tuscans have been produced for the Tuscan Challenge that they probably would be eligible.

TVR themselves wouldn't be keen either as they may be faster than their newer road derived cars and it may dilute the Tuscan Challenge which is only now getting back to decent sized grids after a quiet couple of years.
