Overlooked one thing - there's SM2 (potentially mixed with ASP) as a
gravitation target as well. So the fast CSP cars (CRX, Miata) which are not
eligible for SM could go to SM2 if it appealed to them.
For the other cars/classes, the primary reasons why they are slower than
BSP is that the SP rules limit engine development so much. If they move to
an SM class, they get to do engine work (or outright swaps) that give them
the potential to match BSP times.
