I have heard rumors that they were going to place it in its own class if the participation numbers increase enough, but I don't think that's happened yet. It's still listed in the 2008 GCR as an Atlantic subclass.

I just tested an FE yesterday at Roebling Road...it may be my next car. It was a blast to drive, but I still wasn't up to speed by the end of the day. First time in car and first day at RRR was a bit much to digest in one sitting.
Anyway, just to correct one item, FE is in it's own class; you're just racing people in identical cars. (the basic parameters you can tune are tire pressures, alignment, shock settings, and wing angle... springs, shocks, gears, engine, tires, everything else are spec) It has been thrown into FA at the runoffs while participation numbers were built up, but it will be a standalone runoffs class this year.
I've been told the 2.3L engine is from a Mazda small truck. People claim to get 40 race weekends out of them.
Oh, and the FE does have more top speed than an FC, altho the FC does allow a diffuser, while the FE is flat bottomed.
