I think you mis-read the page - four of each chassis were allowed, and of
that two Eagles were used fairly immediately. And that's where it stayed
until two guys asked if they could be stand-bys (after the first 15
people had signed up).
I wanted to avoid the "sea-of-green" that we typically see in open VROC
events - for example, I hosted a race a few days ago, and of 16 cars in
that race, there were 12 lotus, one eagle, a ferrari, and two coventries.
Granted, the Lotus is probably the fastest car overall, but I wonder just
how fast some of these guys would be if they were relegated to a vehicle
of lesser stature, such as a Coventry, a Brabham, or even a Murasama.
