The film stars Riccardo Scamarcio, Daniel Br\u00fchl, Katie Clarkson-Hill, and Volker Bruch, the latter of whom plays Lancia driver Walter R\u00f6hrl. R\u00f6hrl famously only competed in a limited number of races for the 1983 season, as he was not interested in securing another driver’s championship. The trailer suggests the movie will focus largely on R\u00f6hrl, though Lancia’s ultimate victory was certainly a team effort.<\/p>\n
The mid-engined 037 was generally superior in tarmac events and longer stages with fewer turns. Meanwhile, team Audi held an AWD advantage on loose, twisting surfaces. As such, the brands took turns sweeping the podium at different events throughout the season.<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that the trailer description calls this movie an “action-packed sports drama inspired by true events,” meaning it’s not a pure documentary, but rather an exciting piece of fiction based on the truth. There are some admittedly cringe moments in the two-minute clip, like the obligatory side-by-side racing that doesn’t doesn’t happen in stage rally unless something’s really gone wrong. We also get the “why do they risk their lives” soundbite, and the obligatory crash scenes.<\/p>\n
