Am I now reading this correctly that I can now enter two LMP's in Event 3 as long as they are different construction, i.e. a 'Type M' car and a 'Type P' car?

Yes, you can bin the Jaguar 
In fact you could enter 3 LMP cars, if one’s a Revoslot

If only I had one...

...but the Jag will rise Phoenix-like from the scrap bin

You can’t of course enter 2 LMP’s and a Group C car.

Yes I know but it'll get converted for racing on our track...and maybe a possible future proxy

Graham, if I want to use a short can motor in a 'P construction' chassis that has a hole for a long can, can I put ballast in the space or has that got to be plastic or an adaptor?

e.g. a Ninco chassis with a long can hole but using a short can motor

My view is that there is a difference between a M class car where the ballast must not be used as a substitute for any "standard" chassis part. And that would include a substitute for any part of a standard or replica motor mount adaptor, when changing from long can to short can motors. The adaptor should fit into the original motor mount position within the chassis as intended.
However for a P class car with adjustable motor pod you can use ballast within the chassis or motor mount as long as it is" fixed in place" and is not located lower than the rest of the chassis.

Sorry, It's an 'M construction' not 'P' (what was I thinking! )

The chassis I have doesn't have a separate motor pod, the motor is just fixed to the chassis so there will be a hole in front of the motor if a short motor is used instead of a long motor.

So nothing standard will be substituted as it'll be fresh air.

I think you need to show me a photo of how the adaptor with the motor fits into the chassis, and how you want to fit the ballast into it as I am not very familiar with these adaptors.

There isn't an adaptor, the motor clips into the chassis at each end, it's as basic as it gets.  I'll have to take a photo when I get home.
