The ProSolo L1 and L2 classes are indexed by the SCCA and the SS/WS6 index
for SS and ESP shares the same problem.

Other than the M3, no other ESP-classed cars are showing results that
suggest an ESP index should be higher than an SS index, and given the amount
of tinkering you're allowed to do in SP, it would have to be a non-trivial
increase in PAX between SS and ESP if the SS/WS6 should be in SS and ESP.
