I may have interpreted the rules wrong here bt this is how I understand it.
GT12.2. This is the 'kit' class.
Cars should, apart from tuning parts, be as they come out of the box.
The rules state 6.7.1 'A rolling chassis kit may exclude all electrics and body shell, but must include one complete set of wheels and tires suitable for use on a carpet racing surface.'
Should you decide to compete as a manufacturer it looks like you will be investing in tooling for wheels.
GT12.1. Free class.
Can be anything from a basic car fitted with a diff to a completely home built model.
The important thing is that the rules for construction are adhered to.
There is a worry that someone may come along with a homer that goes super fast and will upset the metaphorical apple kart. If you take the time to thoroughly investigate what is possible within the rules, you will find that this situation extremely unlikely if not impossible.
