Tl;dr version: Our current system would clearly put all records (even the one performed raw) as being Class 1. To be quite blunt, I think the requirements for Class 1 should be bumped up to at least 500 kg. It's not only neater, but even if you want to use the fact that the lift was performed with equipment in Eddie Hall's case as a counter-arguent, you still have a raw tire deadlift of 524.
