If you took the time to read through the proposals you would probably see this..........
"As an initial guide, a rider regularly finishing on the podium in the 500cc, 350cc, Classic Superbike or Junior Post Classic, MGP Classic Races or a current TT competitor who regularly finishes inside the top 10 at the TT will likely be graded as a GP Rider. All other riders will likely be graded as a Clubman Rider."
