There are three possible solutions:
1) Make all cars RWD
2) Make the cars super-leightweight, so they don't need absurdly high amounts of power to achieve a nice power/weight ratio.
Both solutions may be more feasible with (semi-)tubeframe cars.
If I remember correctly most of the 2l-Gr.5 cars from the late 70s weighted significantly below 800kg.
3) Give the cars ridiculously little aero-parts, to reduce grip. If it was up to me, I'd ban all winged profiles and rather see spoilers like in pre-COT-NASCAR in touring car racing. I'd partially make up for it with some extra wide tires (and wheelarches!) however
