Fiat Group tried all sorts of tricks back in the day to try and get near the Escorts on the RAC, including wheels with a different offset from normal to run in the Escort tyre tracks and putting the co-driver in the back seat but never succeeded.

The boys from Malton have done it & the one thing they’ve done that Fiat didn’t is to put the steering wheel on the right instead of the left.
That’s my theory for their results – and I’m sticking to it
