The 512BB’s engine isn’t really a true Boxer.

It’s a 180 degree V12.

As for the race cars, I’m sure PD meant it to be a road car only event, and if that’s the case the only thing missed out is the WRX Gr. B Road Car.
Are you sure it's an 180 degree V12 found a diagram that shows the configuration of the 512BB, it looks flat?

To quote Wikipedia:

“True boxers have each crankpin controlling only one piston/cylinder while the 180° engines, which superficially appear very similar, share crankpins. The 180° engine, which may be thought of as a type of V engine, is quite uncommon as it has all of the disadvantages of a flat engine, and few of the advantages.”

“Flat-12 engines are generally not horizontally opposed engines (boxers), but rather 180° V-engines. A true boxer has one crankpin journal per piston, while in the 180° V-engine, two opposing pistons share the same crankpin journal. The engine also has a naturally lower center of gravity than a V12, but, with the exception of the Mercedes-Benz C291, is mounted somewhat higher in the engine bay to provide clearance for the exhaust system.”
