Wrong/misleading/confusing naming for the modern FIA spec car classes.

In this I would like to focus and on the naming of current FIA car classes in the game. The current FIA car class pyramid is Rally1, Rally2, Rally3, Rally4 and also Rally5. Rally2 was formerly R5 and Rally4 was R2 basically just renamed. Or maybe there was some evolution, not sure about the exact details, but I know existing R5 and R2 cars could run in Rally2 and Rally4 classes respectively. Aside from Rally1 which is only run in WRC on championship level, all the other car classes are run in different regional championships around the world. What bothers me in the game is that the current day car classes used in WRC are named WRC1, WRC2, JWRC. It bother me because these are not car classes, in fact they are championship names. I guess the idea was the name the car classes based on the championships they run in but I think it just creates more confusion for new people about what are the actual car classes and what are just championship names. Then there is the rally2 class also in the game which has some older cars not currently used in WRC2. However it also has the 2 Skoda Rally2 cars that are in the WRC2 class. Like what? Actually there is this asterisk in the official car list of the official website that says "* All WRC2 cars can compete in the Rally2 car class." However not all WRC2 cars are in the Rally2 class of the game. And if you go to a rally2 event in clubs for example, I don't think it lets you choose from all "WRC2" cars. Actually haven't tried this yet, will update this if necessary.

So to summarize I think it would just be better to name the modern day car classes with their actual class names, like Rally1, Rally2 and so on and then explain in the career for example (or in a class description) that "hey, WRC uses Rally1 cars and so on".
