Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia

First and foremost, this is a movie about Cesare Fiorio and how he spent 1983. It just happens to be the Rally Championship, but don't expect to see a lot of rally driving.

If you always wanted to see the driver's faces and blurry forests instead of their cars on a road, the cinematography is for you.

Old footage did get used in some places, but not even properly upscaled, sharpened or graded to fit the rest. Some racing movies show more actual car scenes in the credits than this one has as a whole.

On a positive note, it's less dramatized than the average American documentary. Although, some of their changes are out of character. When Rohrl didn't want to win a race, he didn't show up.

As petrolhead, racing driver and journalist I always like cars and racing stories. But we are in era when films are made just to be made, and this one is the same. If you wan't viewers, you have to add drama, if you want drama, you need to make story up. It is great year for rallying, movie actualy contains some facts, but it has bad timing, bad directing, bad characters, poor acting and skips important events. When at the end for dramatic purposes somehow include 1985 Corsica event with fake driver, movie has it. There are better told documentaries, like Clarkson's. Movie to forget, unfortunately.

Watch,take it for it is but as a mediocre enthusiast this was below par. Knowing the story from previews when it was happening(and I was only ten) this is a sad attempt. An opportunity to tell a great story with a little more enthusiasm was lost. This could have been great,a little more investment would have made such a difference. But to take it for what it is,it's okay,but with all tge modern cgi it could've been so much better. I think it trys to take in so much detail from am an era that will be famous in motorsport forever,that it loses context.

Like I said earlier,an opportunity was lost,this could have been made in to a franchise,or at least a four part,with more detail character reference and action. There are true to life documentaries more entertaining than this to be be fair,it is nothing like the Shelby vs Ferrari movie. I'm disappointed, in this day and age a far more entertaining and engaging movie is not too much to ask for.

I'm a motor racing enthusiast and I know the story that inspired the movie. Many real events were brought in, but in a very superficial way. And other events were introduced in the wrong way. I won't give away any spoilers, the movie is good overall. I think that if you're not such a fan of the WRC you'll love the movie. For those of us who are fans, the movie is a bit embarrassing. After watching the video, I recommend that you research the real story, which is much more exciting. TheRUB channel has a 20-minute video that explains what the 1983 season was all about.

I still think it's a good movie, but the adaptation of the story wasn't precise enough to satisfy true WRC fans.

Not a well told story. Poorly written and poorly directed. If you don't know the story go and save yourself an hour and a half and watch Jeremy Clarkson's documentary on Youtube which is way more exciting than this movie which to be honest doesn't make much sense half the time.

Sometimes sports movies are overdramatic and corny especially made in Hollywood but this time I was actually was missing Hollywood and all the cheesines

At least the movie looks good and if you're a rally or a racing fan in general then you might want to check this one out just for them glorious Group B cars. But set your expectations low.
