Lightweight
Since 2017 SSVs became a separate class from the cars.
Since 2021 the Lightweight class was further separated into T3 Lightweight Prototype and T4 Modified Production SSV.
For 2021 all Lightweights were under a single entry list but had separate general classifications. T3s had entry numbers from 380 to 399 and T4s had 400 to 454.
