As of Version 1.0.9, car categories have been totally revised due to the actual categories in-game being introduced. Additionally, the rallies are now restricted based on car category, meaning all runs in cars that are now not allowed will be moved to a new "pre 1.0.9" category and all runs that abide by the current restrictions will remain.
We will figure out solutions for 100%, as well as the open rallies regarding categories for cars soon.
Expect to see a number of things shift around to accomodate the changes, and hopefully things won't look too ugly or complicated.

Should there be an overall ranking for the stage events?
Because at least on the 1.0.9 the the "Group B" cars are not very well matched in power. E.g. both Lionne S and Gemini 2000 are a lot slower than the Mio Symphonic. At he same time Libra Grande and Avalanche A1 are at least in my experience much quicker and can compete with Mio Symphonic.
I think at least for the stage rankings there should be an overall ranking. This would in my oppinioin encourage the runners to try and experiment with every car.
i mean, isn't speedrunning about choosing the fastest car for each category tho
That isn't the point Penguin. The cars are now classified as per the developer's categorization. Splitting up the categories for ILs means you can go for records for each class, and there will still be competition since you can submit runs for each category.
