Can't say I was impressed by the choice either. How can you miss a Fulvia out and list a Peugot 205, I know 205's were great cars at the time, but it's not a choice that springs instantly to mind.
If you're not talking about sheer power, rather enjoyment, I'd have had the original Fiat 500 in there somewhere, I ran them for years and biggest hoot ever for the power and size.
I bet if they ran it with a different group of experienced drivers, you'd get a different result.
