My brother drive with an "old" Opel Kadett C
His car has round about 180 hp, straight interlocked Racing Gear (hope this is the right word), Slicks, a large potato bar at the rear etc etc
In his class, he made it to second place


Here is my video from his run

That's an itty-bitty course. I used to run slalom in Southern California with my Corvette, but the courses were usually at least a half mile or more in length, sometimes really tight, sometimes with a few straights or wide sweeps that you could get up a bit of a head of steam on. I usually wiped out most of the cones (pylons) on my first pass, with my tail hanging out one direction or the other, and sometimes backwards or spinning whoop-de-doos, and all of the watchers and bystanders got out of the way when they saw that white Vette come to the line. Then I'd go help re-set everything.
