So the only difficulty is to find out what performance potential the car
has. Who does judge this?
And is there a way alter the classification?

Oops, I said that wrong, in the SR classes ESR really no longer exists
except in other sanctioning bodies, and there it's usually 850 cc, though
that varies too. The sizes (or more correctly, performance potentials) go
from A (biggest) to H (smallest). As you'll see from the other replies,
these rules are complicated, as you would expect any rule that started out
too simple (engine size) and later was tweaked frequently to try to keep
race classes reasonably competitive across marques.

theory (or at least in the sports racer categories, like DSR which means D
Sports racer) it's based on engine size, with D being 1 liter and E being
two. In practice it has more to do with what the rules committee had for
breakfast and who owns the ox that is being gored.
