I never liked that old vs new video.
The escort is built for rally not circuit racing, while the RS was shown by topgear in an earlier episode to be a track stormer that was useless in the real world (with bumps).
the escort has soft shocks and dirt tyres, the RS has track tyres (read massive advantage) and track spring/shocks. The same goes for the Audi vs Mitsi test. Either suit both cars for rally and or both cars for road.
If it were the 60's and the race was on that circuit the crew would have refitted the car for circuit racing.
and the GT40 is a new car..
Unfortunatly its a poor test.
