You would just trim the car and hope the guy never fired it off the track. Kind of a stupid contest.
I drove an Atlantic there once, I got 5 laps and I'd never driven a car with wings before (I was racing FF's at the time). My first lap scared the crap out of me because the car just wouldn't turn...the owner of the car was screaming at me to go faster or I was going put the thing in the dirt. I got down to a high 1.13 on laps 4 and 5. I sold the FF two weeks later and bought a Van Dieman FC, my FF seemed soooo slow after driving the FA.
