Can FI S2000's enter? And if so what class would they fall into?
Yes.

I'm in Standard Production > 2 litre in the South East. FI = 1.4 x displacement at the moment therefore 2.8 litre. Next year it will be 1.7 x displacement therefore 3.4 litre, but no real difference to classification.

However...

Standard Production is a silhouette formula, which means no BGWs, no wheelarch extensions, and no non-standard front bumpers. It also means no rose jointed suspension and no stripped interiors.

In practical terms you'd fall into Standard Production and hope no arsehole makes a big thing of your front bumper. This end of the country it's generally OK, as in a bumper is clearly not performance enhancing so why protest? But you do get the odd twat. The best thing to do I find is to find something on their car which transgresses the rules (and there will be something) and let them know you've seen it. Heh heh. Had one all year down here who didn't like my vented bonnet. I'm 5s a lap faster than him everywhere so not exactly competing, but spotted something on his car early in the season I can use to shut him up. Silly but that's how it has to work with some people.
Just to add your BGW would put you into Mod Prod. Down here that's ex-race car territory - up your way it may not be. In Mod Prod you can do almost anything you want to the car - drill holes in it, big arches, etc. Which might be good or bad.

Have you thought about Time Attack? I'm planning on doing it next year...

Not a bad collection from our first year of competing with Mike taking the biggest haul by far. Well done mate was a great year with plenty of good times on the way,

Totally agree not a bad haul for four 'Novices' in so called hairdressers cars!
These machines proved themselves more than capable of taking scalps from all sorts of 'superior' motors, and then driven home not trailered like some!

I'm proud to have been part of the season with Rays incredible launches, Ric's natural crazy talent, and Mikes awesome lap record pace



As above these cars were all set up by Daytona Daves expert hands, wouldn't have been doing it without his help
