IMDb plot summary: Inspired by true events that occurred during the fierce rivalry between Germany (Audi) and Italy (Lancia) at the 1983 Rally World Championships.
Directed by Stefano Mordini. Starring Daniel Brühl, Riccardo Scamarcio, and Katie Clarkson-Hill.
Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia portrays the rivalry between car manufacturers Audi and Lancia to win the 1983 Rally World Championship. Our focus is on Lancia, the underdog who has yet to win and is scrambling to keep up with Audi's technological advances. This film was certainly not helped by the fact that I had just watched Ford V. Ferrari in the last couple months, because this absolutely feels like a cheap knock-off, all the way down to the personal drama between the team manager and the "Stick It To the Man" driver. This one isn't particularly well-written, well-acted, or well-filmed, and the racing scenes are far from riveting. The character development we do get is thin and rushes through emotional beats that should take their time. My viewings of 2024 releases are not off to a terribly exciting start.
