For what it's worth, here in the IoM we have changed the original Slot Rally GB rules to move with the times and this is what we have class-wise,

for the Standard Classes:-

All sub-classes within this section are for Ready to Run cars ONLY. No Pro cars or adjustable motor mounts, metal wheels, lightweight bodies etc.

Standard Class Rules

These are for Standard Ready to Run cars listed in the Manx Slot Rally Standard Class Defined Car List - 2018 only.
Changes allowed: If it doesn't say it in this section, or in the General Rules, it is NOT allowed.
2WD cars must run as 2WD, and 4WD cars must run with their standard 4WD running gear.
Bodies must be hard plastic or resin and may not be altered. Interiors must be the original hard plastic ones, and may not be altered in any way except to add a navigator, if just a driver is present in the original interior.
There should be no metal wheels or adjustable motor mounts in this class. Wheels must remain the standard plastic ones. The inner hub of the original wheels, into which the axles fit, may be strengthened with a coat of super glue or a plastic/metal collar
Weight can be added inside the chassis only, and must be secured.
Guide can be changed to a Ninco sprung guide, or a Scalextric sprung guide, but only if changes do not need to be made to the standard chassis. Any braid may be used in the guide. Guide wire can be changed to another manufacturer's wire.
Chassis can be trimmed around the edges by a maximum of 1mm to allow body rock. No chassis bracing allowed.
Metal Pinions (of the same number of teeth) can replace standard plastic ones.
No changes to the spur gears allowed, unless individual authorisation is given by the full Slot Rally sub-committee.
Motors can be changed for similar type ones from the original manufacturer only, provided this does not need any changes to the chassis.
Axle spacers can be used, to reduce side-slop, on both axles, but may not be fixed in place...."

As for the IoM Open Classes, here are the specific rules:-

Open Classes

These classes include all Ready-to-Run cars NOT listed in the Manx Slot Rally Standard Class Defined Car List - 2017, and all kit-built, modified and scratch-built cars.

Open Small Classic Class (Pre 1980 slot rally cars with a maximum body width of 54mm and in-line motors only)

Open Classic Class (Pre 1980 slot rally cars) - NB. Classic cars with body width of 54mm or less go into Open Small Classic Class.

Open 80's Class (1980 - 1989 slot rally cars)

Open Modern 2WD Class (2WD slot rally cars)

Open Modern 4WD Class (4WD slot rally cars)

Open Class Rules

These classes include all Ready to Run cars NOT listed in the Manx Slot Rally Standard Class Defined Car List - 2018, and all kit-built, modified and scratch-built cars.

Other than what is in this section, and the General Rules, there are no other restrictions on building and tuning cars for this class.

There is a free choice of chassis, motor, gears, guides, axles, wheels and tyres (No silicon tyres) and all other parts for the running gear, as well as 2WD and 4WD options.

Bodies must be of hard plastic or resin, and must be a good representation of look and scale (no blob bodies).

Weight can be added, as long as it is secured. It can be added below the chassis in this class, as long as it is covered in tape/plastic, to prevent it shorting the tracks.
