[Cesare] Sorry,
let's get a move on because
I don't have much time.

No, no, don't worry.
This'll only take a few minutes.

Okay.

We are recording.

The World Rally Championship

has grown in popularity
in recent years

to become the number one
TV sport in the world.

Drivers like Walter Roöhrl
and the Queen of Speed,

Michele Mouton, have
become household names.

This week we turn our attention

to the key players off the
track, the team managers.

We're joined by team
manager, Cesare Fiorio,

hailing from Turin, Italy.

Fiorio has led both Fiat
and Lancia to victory.

Mr. Fiorio,
pleased to meet you.

My pleasure.
But please, call me Cesare.

Cesare, I'd like to
start by asking you

what drew you to rallying?

Well, probably because
I love the speed and the risk.

Is that not true of
any other motor sport?

Oh, rallying is
very different.

Rallying belongs to everyone.

Let's say
it's a democratic sport.

What do you mean by that?

It's very difficult
to explain rally.

You have to live it.

You see, the spectators,
they feel the same speed
as the drivers,

because you know, you
race in your own town.

The cars hurtle past
your children's school,

the cafe where you used to have
your coffee, normal places.

Rallying isn't
as well known in the US.

Could you tell our
listeners what your role is?

Let's say rallying is like
a war, and
I'm the commander of an army.

The world championship
is made up of 13 trials

divided into grueling stages,

long transfers, by day,
by night, in dust, sand,
snow, rain, you know.

But what is
it exactly that you do?

What I do is to make decisions
in the shortest possible time.

So if we look at the results
of last year's championship,

we could say that your rival,

Roland Gumpert, made
better decisions than you.

What does Audi
have that you don't?

Well, an entire industrial
and financial sector

that supports research
and development.

Do you know the four-wheel
drive is derived

from military technology?

They really did bring the army.

Rallying is a dangerous sport.
Does anything frighten you?

Yeah.

One thing.

Losing.

[upbeat jazz music]

Audi is leading in Portugal.

They're ahead of everyone on the
overall constructor standings.

[Reporter]
In the cold Finnish night,

the German Audi
is humiliating Italy

in terms of technological
development.

THE REVOLUTIONARY

[Reporter] The Audi team
lead by Roland Gumpert is
unstoppable.

Lancia shows all its limits.

[Reporter 2] Audi beats
Lancia on all tracks.

It's a pleasure to see
them racing at full speed.

[upbeat jazz music]

[Reporter 3] Once again, Audi
is racing towards
a new victory.

As the new world rally season
begins there are many reasons
to believe

that this is going to be
an amazing contest.

Audi, Lancia, Opel,
and the other manufacturers

will be fighting
a new sort of battle.

Fans around the world
cannot wait.

The contest opens with
the legendary Monte Carlo as it
does every year.

Now over to the traffic news.

[car door closing]

Yes, Mr Gumpert, immediately.

[car starting]

Stop!

Again!

[car starting]

[engine revving]

Stop!

- It's running better
than last year.
- Perfect!

Almost perfect.

[engine revving]

Start again!

[workers chatting]

[pneumatic wrench running]

Sir, they've dismantled
the Audi.

Look how wonderful
this joint is.

The transmission has
a differential
that splits the pair at 50%.

And it does so using two axles,
one below and one above...

with two coaxial shafts,
one inside the other.

When the Germans do things,
they definitely do
them well, eh?

Not always.

Do you know how to
tell German wine
from vinegar?

- No.
- Read the labels.

We need to develop
four-wheel drive technology
as well.

But we don't have the time.

We need something like that.

Short wheelbase,
very light, mid-engine.

The Stratos could fly.

Sir,

- they're waiting
at the meeting.
- I'll be right there.

- Ennio, take this.
- Yes.

- You come up with me.
- Sir, like this, I'm...

Yes, like that!
I'll wait for you upstairs.
Hurry up!

- Good morning, Avvocato.
- Good morning.

Do you want to know
a curious thing,
Mr. Fiorio?

Do you know what my grandson
asked me for as a
birthday present?

An Audi Quattro.

These Germans are good.

Work hard!

And good luck.

It's impossible to
beat them now.

We don't have this winning car.

We're too far behind
on the all-wheel drive.

The technological gap
with the Germans is frightening.

Even if we started work tomorrow

and doubled the R&D budget,

we wouldn't get a
competitive car.

It'll take at least
two, three years.

Forgive me, sir. With the money
for the racing department,

we could run
a powerful advertising campaign.

If you want to reconsider
our proposal, it's
on page three.

Excuse me, but we
can't do anything
with happy families

leaving for their
summer vacation
in a Lancia.

The only possible
advert is to win.

No one wants to buy a car
that loses.

Fiorio, I'm not asking
you to win,
but to lose well.

But you can't lose well.

You can only lose badly.

I want to win this world
championship,
whatever it takes.

Ennio.

This is a plan of
the Audi Quattro.

Longitudinal, five-cylinder
engine.

Maximum torque of 285
Newton/meters.

Central differential,
rear axle identical
to the front,

except it's rotated 180 degrees

so it can interface
with the transmission shaft.

Incredible road holding.

It sticks to the ground.

You have to scrape the asphalt
off the wheels.

Apparently unbeatable, but...

2,900 lbs.

They're heavy. Very heavy.

- They'll see this in Greece.
- One thing still isn't clear.

Which car are we taking
to Greece?

The Monte Carlo Beta project.

Mid-engine.

Two-wheel drive.

Rear-wheel drive.

A racing car.

Of course...

on snow and dirt roads,
we'll lose.

But on asphalt we'll be light.

Very light. We'll be flying.

And who's going to
drive this car?
Will you drive it, Fiorio?

No.

The best driver will.

[soft music]

[soft music continues]

[bees buzzing]

[soft music]

Morning.

[setting brake]

[soft music]

Walter,

it's Cesare.

[Walter] Ah, Cesare.

Nice to see you.

[Cesare] Can I take off this?

[Walter] Take it off, yeah.

Sorry if I didn't tell
you that I was coming,

but you know.
What happened to your face?

Ah, I spent a lifetime
telling people

not to walk in the mountains

with their hand in
their pockets.

And then I.

[laughing] You did it.

- What are you doing here?
- Nothing.

I, I came to visit
this young pilot.

Very good driver, very talented.

And then I said to myself,

well, I'm very close
to Walter's house,

and why don't you go to
say hello? And here I am,

My bees.

- I see.
- They're strange, huh?

I mean, they're not domesticated
and they're not wild.

They're a mix.

They're creatures capable
of maintaining relationships

with humans without losing
their freedom.

Isn't that wonderful?

Incredible creatures.

So did you, did you
sign up with someone yet?

I've had lots of offers,
I'm weighing them up.

And you, how's the
development coming along?

You've got a competitive
car this year?

Yeah. Special car.
Very incredible car.

Central engine, very powerful,

light car using very
special materials, yeah.

You'll see.

Four wheel drive?

No, no, no, no.
Two wheel drive.

You can't beat them
with a normal car.

Yes we can.

No you can't.

You wanna try the honey?

No. No actually I have to go.

I'm very late, I have to
to drive back to Turin.

- Nice to see you.
- Good to see you.

Cesare, the young
driver, what's his name?

Oh, it's a German name.

I forgot, it's very difficult
name, can't remember. See you.

See you.

What did he want from you?

Guess.

[pensive music]

[door closing]

[customers chatting]

- Excuse me.
- [Waiter] Yes?

May I have a coffee and
some croissants please?

We don't have croissants,

but I can bring you
some bread if you wish.

Okay, some bread. Thanks.

Did you remember the name of the
young driver you came to see?

Yes, of course. Kurt.

Oh. Him, you mean?

Listen Walter, let's be
honest with each other. Hm?

You have to come
to try this car.
We can win only if you drive it.

I really don't want to compete
in this championship.

You know what it is, Cesare?

I'm tired.

Tired of photographers,
hotels, autographs.

I'm tired of winning, but
that's all you care about.

Yeah, it's true. What's wrong
with it? That's my job.

Give me one good reason
why I should accept.

Because we are the underdogs,

and it's perfect if you're
tired of winning, isn't it?

- Are you staying overnight sir?
- No, sir's leaving.

[engine revving]

[engine revving]

[engine revving]

[stopwatch clicking]

Yes, it's good.

- What is it?
- Zero-forty.

I would try another test

and reduce the tire
pressure to 1.7.

- I'd lighten the
clutch a little.
- OK.

[tires squealing]

Very good, Marco. Well done.

Zero-forty. Excellent time.

Good.

[engine revving]

[dramatic piano music]

[dramatic music continues]

[dramatic music continues]

[dramatic music continues]

[dramatic music continues]

[engine revving]

[tires squealing,
stopwatch clicking]

- Does it have a name?
- Yeah.

0' 37" is the new track record.

[Walter] Nice car.

Do you like it or not?

Powerful engine, light,

great road holding.

Goes exactly where
I want it to go.

I like a shoe made to
measure for my foot, but

[door closing]

it's very fragile.

On asphalt, no one will beat it.

On dirt roads and snow,
it's a coffin.

Do you accept or not?

I'll only do the races
I love, Monte Carlo,
Acropolis, New Zealand.

Five, six races at the most.

Hey, wait a second. What do
you mean five, six races?

There are 12. I want to win
the whole title, not half of it.

- Six races. Take
it or leave it.
- But why?

Take it or leave it.

Well, what did Roöhrl say?

He agreed! He agreed!

Go, Kurt!

Allow me
to introduce the new Lancia 037.

[group applauding]

[soft piano music]

1,996 cubic centimeters
of displacement,

310 horsepower,

volumetric compressor,
rear-wheel drive,

with two-wheel drive.

Mr. Fiorio, to have
a four-wheel drive
like the Audi,

you'll need two cars, ja?

Sir, we have a problem.
We don't have enough cars.

Nicolas Muller,
Frankfurter Allgemeine.

As you know, to enter
the world championship,
the rule is

that every automaker
has to produce

a minimum of 200 models
to be placed on the market.

So?

Even if we go at full speed
on the production lines

we won't manage to
make them all.

The inspection's tomorrow.

- How many do we have?
- 103.

But we need 200.

103.

101, 102.

- How many?
- 103.

- 103?
- Yes.

- Where are the others?
- Eh, this parking lot's full.

They're in another parking lot.

Another parking lot?
Let's go, we have other
things to do.

- Let's go, now. All right?
- Yes, let's go, it's nearby.

We'll take the car and go.
It's nearby, come.

The usual Italian chaos.

Italians! Always the same.

[doors closing]

There's a bit of traffic.

[horns honking]

- What now?
- What is it? It's all blocked.

It's blocked. Is the parking lot
still a distance away?

Half an hour. But
I have an idea.

Let's stop. There's a little
restaurant there, we'll stop

and have a quick lunch,
then we'll go to
the parking lot.

That way in the meantime...

the traffic will clear a bit.

Yes, but quickly.
We don't have a lot of time!

Of course, I promise.

[horn honking]

So, for starters today
we have agnolotti,
very fresh, sir...

Or a nice risotto
with white truffle.

Tomato noodles.

Or we can make a panissa.

Panissa?
How do I translate panissa?

OK, whatever, do a selection,
a bit of everything.

- Red wine?
- Yes, Barolo.

Barolo. Red wine, all right.

- We don't have much time.
- We won't be long.

- I'm going to choose the wine.
- This way, sir.

Right, the Barolos are here.

I'll go to the kitchen, and have
everything prepared
very quickly,

- as you wish, quickly.
- No, you need to
take your time.

All right?
Take your time. Take your time.

Good.

[upbeat jazz music]

Very good.

Good.

[upbeat jazz music continues]

Now we need to go. Shall we go?

- Let's finish eating and go.
- Yes, let's finish and then go.

Alright, take your time.

Finish calmly and then we'll go.
I'm going to the toilet.

95... 96...

And 97.

Plus 103, makes 200.

OK, Fiorio, that's OK.

We have to go, our
plane's waiting.
Shall we go?

[upbeat music]

[Announcer] Welcome
to the opening of the
51st Monte Carlo Rally.

30 special stages of
seven days of 10 transfers.

Each car arriving late the
time check will be penalized.

Beware they are transferring
from one stage to another

because it's still part of
the race, so let them pass.

- [Bartender] You're welcome.
- The same as the lady.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

Hi, Cesare.

- Honey, do you know
who this is?
- No.

Cesare Fiorio.

He's the team manager of Lancia,

and he's a very brave man.

In fact, he's so brave that
he thinks he can challenge us

without a four-wheel drive.

- Slow and steady wins the race
- Four are better than two.

Don't you feel cold?

No, I'm used to it.

By the way,
I checked the weather.

It's going to snow tomorrow.

So don't forget
your snow chains.

- Champagne, please.
- Yes.

Tastes better with ice,
don't you think?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Thank you.

[door closing]

[car running]

[setting brake]

[door closing]

- Is that salt?
- Yes, it's salt.

- Is this OK?
- Yes, sir.

Go, go!

Go, come on.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I imagine you're very busy,

but honestly it's
really dangerous.

I was driving,
and there's ice, snow...

You can't drive on it.
Can you do something, please?

Yes,
I totally understand
the situation.

Give me a minute
and I'll deal with
it right away.

Thank you.

[snowplow running]

[dumping salt]

[dumping salt]

Hey, guys!
There's a lot of ice up there.

Let's put the studded
tires on, go!

[pneumatic wrench running]

- We'll put them on as well.
- OK.

[bongo drumming]

[crowd cheering and applauding]

[Announcer] And here
is Walter Roöhrl,

Prince of Monte Carlo and
reigning world champion,

driving the Lancia 037.

Great favorite this year on
the four wheel drive Audi,

Hannu Mikkola, the Flying
Finn.

But the fabulous Porsche.

This is not Formula one,
this is rally.

Winner in 1978 in the legendary
Lancia Stratos, Markku Alén.

[engine revving]

[dramatic music]

[tires squealing]

[speaking foreign dialogue]

[downbeat music]

[crew shouting]

[crowd cheering]

[bongo drumming]

They are changing
the studded tires.

I repeat, they are
changing the studded tires.

Shit!

The noodle munchers tricked us!

[tense music]

[engine revving]

[engines revving]

[tense music continues,
crowd cheering]

[tense music continues,
cameras flashing]

[engine revving]

[door opening]

[laughing] Nice idea that,
changing the tires and
removing the snow.

I didn't think about that.

Do you have any other ideas for
the rest of the championship?

Well, I'll do whatever the
regulations allow me to do.

- Because you read them?
- Yes, of course.

You should know them better
than me because you wrote them.

What do you insinuate?

No, I will never allow
myself to insinuate anything.

But it's curious that
when you would just ready

with four-wheel drive,

a footnote was inserted
in regulations book

that opened world championship
up to four-wheel drives.

But of course, that's
just a coincidence, right?

Sure.

Like the salt on the roads.

- Exactly.
- Hmm.

Congratulations on your
elegance, Cesare.

Congratulations
on your precision.

[knocking on door]

Mr. Fiorio, there's a problem.

We can't formalize
the victory yet.

What? What are we
supposed to do?

Put the corks back
in the champagne?

No, Fiorio. We're not joking.

Audi objected,

and at the very least we have
to evaluate it, you understand?

They claimed there was
a violation of the regulations.

You know how it works.

There's a disqualification
for this.
That's how it is.

A violation?
What are you talking about?

This is a joke.

There was absolutely
no violation.

You exploited your relationship
with the authorities,

you had salt put on the road
and had the ice removed.

- That's a violation, Fiorio.
- No, it's not.

These are the regulations.
I know them by heart.

All right? Check for yourself.

It's not written anywhere.

It's not allowed,

but neither is it forbidden.

On you go, check.

Mr. Fiorio,

could you wait outside
for a moment, please?

[light jazz music]

[crowd chatting]

[light jazz music]

He's right.
If it's not forbidden,
it's allowed.

All right, let's sign this.

Come in.

There!

- The victory certificate.
- Thank you.

What else do you want,
Fiorio? Eh?

Do you have any aspirin?
I have a headache.

It's OK, sorry. Thank you.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Mr. Fiorio, Lancia team manager.

I'm sorry, Fiorio. I'm sorry,
I cannot find you on the list.

If you search my name
in the standings, you'll find
it in the first place.

In this list, I don't know.

The dress code is
jacket and tie.

Maybe we can find you jacket.

Are you feeling all right?

You don't, you don't
look so great.

Thanks. I think
I have a temperature.

- Have you taken anything?
- An aspirin.

Ask them for a grog.
Hot rum, honey and lemon.

Take my advice.

[upbeat jazz music]

[upbeat jazz music continues]

[singer singing
in foreign language]

[upbeat jazz music continues]

[crowd murmuring]

[singer singing
in foreign language]

[upbeat jazz music continues]

Hi.

- Hmm.
- See?

- Are you feeling better?
- Yeah.

What'd I tell you?

By the way, I'm Cesare.
Nice to meet you.

Fiorio, I know.

Is there anyone here
who doesn't know you?

Actually, the people at the
front door, but nevermind.

I mean, what are you
doing here in this circus?

Getting bored.

Well, in that case,
you should go home.

- Yeah.
- But what do you do in life?

I teach nutritional medicine

at the University of Grenoble.

[upbeat jazz music continues]

Shall we have a toast?

[Cesare laughing]

- Well, did we really win?
- Yes.

Finally we win.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I mean, it went well this time,
but you know, in Sweden,

I need you even more so.

Well, I'm not coming
to Sweden.

Listen, I know you don't
care about, you know,

the driver's championship,

but I have to win.

I have to win the
constructors' one.

You understand that?
Is that clear?

That's your problem, not mine.

I told you that.

Excuse me for a moment,
I'll call you back.

Walter...

is refusing to go to Sweden.

What do you mean, refusing?
It's not like it's
a company outing.

Don't ask me to explain,
it's complicated.

Don't ask me to convince him.
It's impossible.

You asked for him.

I was thinking...
we could simply not
go to Sweden.

What do you mean,
not go to Sweden?

Let's pass this whim
of Walter's off
as a team choice.

If he wants to stay home
to make honey, we have
other drivers.

You know fine we can't win
in the snow without him.

If we stay home,
the Germans will get a fright.

Lancia is so strong

they can afford to skip a round.

- So are we withdrawing?
- No.

We're not withdrawing.
We're just
moving in a different direction.

I've heard bullshit before,
but this really...

Not going to Sweden
will result in huge savings.

Do you know what this
circus costs?

Helicopters, planes, trucks.
40 people to move.

With that money
we could develop the 037.

And win in Portugal.

You take the responsibility
for this.

But if it goes wrong...

But what if it goes well?

[stopwatch clicking]

[dark music]

[group cheering]

[Reporter] With this victory

you're sending a clear
signal to your rivals.

Even if Lancia didn't show
up, are you the team to beat?

Don't worry, sir,
we'll win in Portugal.

The road ahead is very long,

so it's too soon
to make any predictions.

Our rivals are more than
worthy of respect, thanks.

[Reporter] Are you referring
to anyone in particular?

No.

[rock music]

[Announcer] The wait is over.
Here we are, once again,

with the protagonists of
the 17th rally of Porto.

Walter Roöhrl's Lancia.

Wait, maybe there's a problem
for Roöhrl.

Welcome back, Walter.

Come on.

[Announcer]
Well, back on course.

[engine revving]

[Driver] Roger.

[rock music]

10 seconds.

Go!

[tires squealing]

[rock music]

Go!

[engine revving]
[tires squealing]

[crowd cheering]

[engine revving]

[muffled speaking]

[crowd cheering]

[engine revving]

[Gumpert] Fantastic.

As you were saying,

Audi has invested heavily to
become competitive in rallying,

and this year they're
demonstrating
all their technical strength.

Yeah, but you know,

money and technology are not
enough to win in this sport.

So what do you need to win?

Heart and brain and
a pinch of creativity.

- [Journalist] Ah, talent.
- Hmm, I would say obsession.

Looking at the constructors'
standings,

Audi is ahead of Lancia.

So it doesn't seem
to me that this

obsession is giving you the
results that you wanted.

And yet you're still
fighting your partisan war.

In this business you're very
well known for being creative

and finding solutions
to help you win.

Who says that?

Listen, this is a sport
that's raced on the road.

And on the road, anything goes.

You've dominated the
industry for two decades.

In 1963, you founded
the High Fidelity team.

Do you still feel that you
can ensure this High Fidelity

to the company, to the team?

Yes, I can.

You're being very selfish.

It was a very hot day.
What did you expect?

[Gloria] I like you.

This is my profession.
This is who I am.

You want me in southern France,
drinking rose all the time.

No, no, no.

But this your permanent record,

but you've never been happy.

And I don't want
to live like this.

Sorry Roland, I'm tired.

Yo, stay here, Gloria.

[distant chatting]

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Sure?

Yes, sure.

Why are you asking?

We are having a party
because we won.

You still think that the Germans

are only technology and
organization, don't you?

But don't believe all
the cliches, Fiorio.

Because with that car,
you will never win against me.

Another round?

Cheers!

Mr. Fiorio?
We are ready.

Okay, let's go.

This year to award
the prize to Udo Kurt,

the young driver who stood out
in the Stewart McCoy Memorial,

ladies and gentlemen,
Cesare Fiorio.

[audience applauding]

We have also here tonight,
the daughter of the driver

who left us 20 years ago
in a tragic accident.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I ask a round of applause

to the beautiful Jane, daughter
of the great Stuart McCoy!

[audience applauding]

Now we can finally give to
the young driver the award.

Wow.

Thank you.

I, I'm very delighted to
be here. It's an honor for me.

When I started to
sign with Lancia,

it was like a dream come true

and an emotion
that is indescribable,

so thank you very much.

[audience applauding]

So, we meet again.

It's not that surprising,
seeing as we're on
the same road.

I knew your father.

Yeah, it seems like everyone
did, and better than me.

I was too young when
it happened.

I remember exactly where
I was the day of the accident.

I don't wanna talk about it.

So, what are you doing here?
Getting bored here, too?

Listen, I was thinking,

I mean, I really need
a doctor on my team.

I need someone who takes
care of my drivers.

You know, diets,
physical conditions.

I think you are
the right person.

Look, I've spent
my entire life trying to keep
my distance from racing.

I don't think it's a good idea.

I think it could be good
for you, if you join us, hm?

Also to fight boredom.

[crowd murmuring]

6:00 PM
L'AVVOCATO CALLED

[no audio]

[papers shuffling]

[distant banging]

[parts banging]

- Sir.
- What are you doing?

I understand
how the Audi's exhaust works.

They're made of titanium.
I mean, on a sedan...

so they have a long car,
long exhaust.

So, they've lightened it.

If we could mount
the same exhaust,
we'd go faster.

Are you an engineer? A designer?
Do you have a degree?

- No, I thought...
- There, you mustn't think.

You mustn't think.

- It was about looking
bad in Portugal.
- I heard you.

I looked like shit, not you.
It's me who looks like shit.

[dark music]

A brand like Fiat Lancia
cannot afford this look.

After these defeats, the last
of which I'd say was
a humiliation,

the sponsors
are starting to threaten
to pull out.

Justifying all this money
without any results

isn't what you promised me.

Remember that if you go, I go.

So find some way
to start winning again...

- Yes.
- If you're still able.

Don't worry,
I'll find a way, you'll see.

[pensive music]

[Reporter]
The revenge finally comes

for Cesare Fiorio
and his Lancia.

After two consecutive
defeats, they win in Corsica.

Mikkola's Audi was
soundly beaten.

The world championship
is thus reopened.

We're two minutes ahead.

We drove well and made
the right choices.

[Interviewer] Hello, Mikkola.

How do you feel being
in second place?

Not good.

Not good. We are late
by about two minutes.

[pensive music]

[Interviewer] Do you think
Audi will be able to recover?

No.

You finished?

[Reporter] The solutions
adopted by Fiorio

has begun to yield results.

Rumor has it they've managed
to lighten their exhaust.

Maybe the turning point
of the season has come

for the Italian manufacturer.

[crowd cheering]

Telegram from L'Avvocato.

What happened here?

They were celebrating,
they had too much to drink.

No, they don't even have
the strength to drink.

Do they know you won?
It's like you lost.

L'Avvocato congratulates you.
He wants the same
again in Greece.

We need to see
if they can make it to Greece.

What d'you mean?

I mean they're physically
broken,
they're done in.

We need to do something.

Listen, wait a minute for me.

Hello?

Yes, can I speak with
Dr. McCoy please?

Jane, it's Cesare,
Cesare Fiorio.

You remember me?

Guys,

may I have
your attention please?

May I introduce to you
Dr. Jane McCoy.

She teaches nutritional science
at University of Bordeaux.

- Grenoble.
- Ah Grenoble, sorry.

- Good morning, everyone.
- [All] Morning.

So from now on she will tell you
what to eat and what to drink.

More than anything else,

I'll be telling you what not
to eat and what not to drink.

She will also tell you

what time to go to sleep, unfortunately.

Each of you will be examined
and have a personalized report.

I'll follow each of you
checking your biorhythms,

calculating your calorie
intake and vitamin needs.

As we know, we can't
afford any more mishaps.

The drivers have to always be
in peak physical condition.

Any questions?

Good, good.

Let's get to work, come on.

[soft music]

[engine revving]

So this is where we're gonna
have the first service, okay?

Then the second and the third.

After this, we're gonna
have a long section,

road section, okay?

To reach this point after two
hours for the stop control.

And then we need to be in
Athens at nine, at the hotel.

You need to be there too,
to check the drivers over.

Yeah, sounds good.

Cesare,

you okay?

Yeah, I'm just thinking

About what?

Winning.

[light electronic music]

[engine revving]

[light electronic music]

What are you doing?

[Walter] Wait for me here.

Are you crazy?

We have to be at, the stop
control in less than an hour.

Precisely. In one hour.

Relax.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Honey.
- Is yours?

Greek honey.

Smell this...

And, um.

I'll do it.

What, what material?

There is no time, Walter.

The other cars are coming.

Yes, okay, okay.

Otherwise we'll be penalized.

Don't be rude.
I'll be right there.

Elena, bring some honey.

Okay, I, I.

[engine revving]

Thank you.

[engine revving]

[engine revving]

[sheep baaing]

Get away, get away.

Hurry up.

Hurry up guys,
get away from here.

Hurry up please hurry up.

It's a fucking race rally.

Get out of the way.

No, no, wait, wait.

We are gonna be.

What are you doing?

This prick doesn't go
away with these sheep.

[sheep baaing]

Greece.

[car trying to start]

What, what's happening now?

[car not starting]

What is happening?

[Passenger] It's dead.

Okay, let me see.

[ Mikkola] Maybe it's
an electrical problem.

Come on, try again.

[car not starting]

No, nothing, nothing.

Okay, give it a try.

[car starting]

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Okay, go.
- Go, go.

[engine revving]

[engines revving]

[rock music]

[engines revving]

This is base, communicate
your position, please.

Walter?

What is he doing?

We are in transfer not a race.

He wants to keep us back

so we arrive late for
the time check.

He wants us to get the penalty?

We'll be seeing if he succeeds.

[engines revving]

Walter, this is base,
can you hear me?

Walter, where are you?

On our way, we're coming.

[rock music]

[engines revving]

Are you crazy? You'll
get a puncture this way.

[engines revving]
[tires squealing]

[rock music]

[engines revving]

[rock music]

[rock music continues]

[Walter yelling]

[light music]

[engine slowing]

Okay, here you go.

[assistant speaking
in foreign language]

[setting brake]

Walter, I mean,
where have you been?

I tried to call
you on the radio.

Well done. Good job.

What did he say?

Nevermind.

Listen Udo, in
Finland you really fly.

The brake's more
important than the gas.

The way you control
the oversteer.

Walter, why are
you telling me this?

You want me to win the race?

I want you to get
to the finish.

Take care.

You too.

Walter,

what did you say to Kurt?

I was wishing him
luck for Finland.

- Why?
- Because I like him.

What do you mean you like him?

I like him, He's a nice
guy. I wish him luck.

What's the problem?

[laughing] Are you gonna
come to Finland or not?

No.

No, you are coming.

- No, I'm not.
- And don't say I told you.

But I did tell you,
that was the agreement.

What are you talking
about? What agreement?

Listen, why don't
you see that doing this

you're dropping the
whole team in the shit,

and handing the title to Audi.

Only losers always want to win.

Bullshit, come on man, bullshit.

You know what I think?

I think that you don't
want to come because,

because you're scared.

- Hmm?
- I'm scared.

Yes.

Yes.

It's possible, maybe yes.

You know what the problem is?

It's you not being
scared enough,

because that car
isn't made for jumps.

You've lightened it too
much, you should know that.

You knew it before.

- Yes I did.
- You knew it before.

- I told you.
- Now we have a problem.

What do you do?

You're going away.

You let me down.
You leave me alone.

You know, okay okay, go.

Okay, fuck you Walter.
Fuck you.

You're fired.

You're fired. Go go.

[Jane] You won't race,
you're not strong enough.

- I'm going to win in Finland.
- No, it's not the point.

Look, when we get to Turin,
I will examine you properly

and if there's even 1%
chance that you can race,

I'll let you do that.

Okay?

Okay.

[setting brake]

[door closing]

[tense music]

[tense electronic music]

Did you call me, sir?

Yes. Did you increase
the pressure of the volumetric?

Yes.

- New suspension?
- Yes. Ennio dealt with that.

OK. You can go, then. It's late.

- Good night, sir.
- Good night.

- Get some rest.
- Thank you.

[tense music]

- Do you need a lift?
- Yes, thanks.

I left my car gate 12.

[Jane] Okay.

What are you doing still here?

I was waiting for the results
of the team's analysis.

Anyway,

how's it going?

Well, thanks.

Why?

I heard about Walter.

Yeah, doesn't want to
know. He doesn't care.

You can't always force someone
to do what they don't want do.

So.

Thanks.

Were you waiting for me?

I was a bit worried about you.

- Goodnight.
- Bye.

Thank you.

See? Even the door.

[both laughing]

[door closing]

[car running]

[engine revving]

[crowd laughing and chatting]

[engine revving]

[crowd cheering]

[Tester] Now this way,
follow the finger please.

So, up.

Is he good?

Last checks,
then he is good to go.

Right.

[PA Announcer] Audi is
showing all its strength.

[Tester] Okay,
just follow here, far.

And back.

What are you doing?
Are you leaving?

Yeah, I'm, I'm done here.

I just need to go by the
university and finish some work.

I'll meet you guys in Sanremo.

What's wrong Cesare?

Nothing,
I can't find my stopwatch.

I think I left it in my hotel.

I can go and get it.

No, don't worry about
that. I can send someone.

I'll go.

I'm gonna go.

[Cesare] Room 64.

Yeah, okay.

All right?

- Yeah, you can go.
- Thanks.

[PA announcer talking]

[engine revving]

[engine revving]

[crowd cheering]

[engines in the distance]

[engine revving]

Team Lancia, Room 64 please.

[door closing]

[speaking foreign dialogue]

[Announcer] Meanwhile,
the race is going on.

Michèle Mouton is the next
driver to start after Kurt.

Wait, Udo Kurt has a problem.

[door closing]

[engines in the distance]

Okay, the Lancia driver has
apparently solved his problem

with the helmet.

[engine revving]

[crowd cheering]

How does an engine work?

Well there is a key, right?

And then you have petrol.

And when you turn
the key together

with a petrol, it makes
like a huge explosion.

That's how an engine works.
Understand?

Hey, wanna know
how engines work?

[Rider] 70.

Easy right.

Too hard.

Give it to me.

This is how four stroke internal
compression engines work.

Suction, compression,

explosion and discharge.

[Rider] 100.

Caution over the crest.

50, right, and opens.

[muffled speaking]

[engine revving]

20, left four junction.

Left, three.

[engine revving]

20 and right, ease left three.

[soft music]

[soft music continues]

[muffled speaking]

There's been an accident,
the car's on fire.

[Spectator] There's smoke.

[soft orchestral music]

Repeat. Who had an
accident, where?

It's impossible, look.

- That's an easy curve.
- It's the suspension. I'll go.

Vuda! Vuda!

[etheric music]

Stop.

Stop.

We're withdrawing.

[etheric music]

We're withdrawing.

[etheric music continues]

[helicopter thrumming]

[etheric music continues]

[etheric music continues]

[helicopter thrumming]

[car passing]

[engine revving]

[Jane] So the co-driver
is out danger.

What about Kurt's condition?

[Doctor] We'll wait
to know for sure.

[Jane] Okay. Thank you.

[Ennio] Cesare.

[Doctor] He's in a coma.

[Cesare] And?

To simplify it, if zero
is the vegetative state

from which it's
impossible to recover,

and 10 is coming out of a coma,

your driver is at one.

What can we do?

Medicine stops here.

I shouldn't say this
as a doctor,

now it's up to you.

What do you mean?

Let him know that you're there.

[monitor beeping]

[monitor beeping]

I trust you.

[monitor beeping]

[monitor beeping]

[crowd murmuring]

I heard from L'Avvocato.

He was very sorry about
the accident.

The insurance company
will make a payout
to Kurt's family.

- Did you find her?
- No, and no one's seen her.

Go.

The board has already told me

they don't intend
to renew the racing budget

for next year.

There might not be a next year.

Let's face it, Cesare,
like you say:

no one wants to buy
a car that loses,

let alone one you die in.

He's still alive.

He's still alive.

[door closing]

[phone ringing]

[no audio]

[Jane crying]

You raced as a driver in
the 1961 Monte Carlo rally,

but you didn't complete
because of an accident.

Did you become a team manager
because you were scared?

Sorry, I don't understand
what you're getting at.

You have your drivers
racing in prototypes,

normal cars that have
been pushed to the max

to become really
powerful beasts.

Do you not feel a sense of
responsibility for your driver

who was just involved
in an accident?

Obviously I'm very
worried about the guy,

but to eliminate
risk from rallying

would be eliminate
rallying itself.

Earlier you compared
rallying to war.

So let me quote
something for you.

In the "Art of War,"
Sun Tzu writes

that it's possible to know
how to win

without actually winning.

Is that what's happening to you?

I see you still don't
understand how this sport works.

Here, you don't race to
overtake the other guy.

You race against the clock,

and if you lose, you
lose against yourself.

Is that how you feel right now?

What do you mean?

Like someone
who's going to withdraw

because he's lost
against himself.

Love! Come, the cake!

Coming.

Sorry, I have to go.

It's been a pleasure.

Pleasure. Thank you.

Thank you.

There's a really good craftsman

Sure. [scoffing]

Has the suspension collapsed?

Yeah.

How are you?

- Good morning sir.
- Okay.

Audi was also very
fast on the asphalt.

Now we have the
second stage in Tuscany.

Ennio is coordinating
service trucks here and here.

Then we have 200 kilometers
of dirt road.

In order to be at the stop
control in Liguria at 12:45.

All clear?

[All] Yes sir.

Good. Let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

Any news from Kurt?

No.

[engine revving]
- Go!

[Announcer] Mikkola's
Audi Quattro taking off.

[Marshal] All right,
what's the time?

[engine revving]

[muffled speaking]

[engine revving]

[Marshal] Three, two, one. Go!

[engine revving]

[Rider] Fifty right,

[engine revving]

70 right, three 120.

[engine revving]

[engine revving]

Walter is first,
second Mikkola,

third and fourth
Alen and Vudafieri.

The Germans are surrounded.

Be sure they have some rest.

Yeah, I'll make them
a herbal tea tonight,

help them sleep.

And I've got some maltodextrins
for them in the morning.

- What are they?
- Relax.

They're just water-soluble
complex carbohydrates.

[Cesare] You know what
to do. It's your job.

Yeah. And what's yours?

Mine? My job is to win.

Why is it so important?

I've been with you guys
for a while now and I,

I still don't understand it.

Don't try to understand.

If you try to understand,
you will never win.

But why do you do it?

I mean the drivers, my father.

Why do they risk their
lives just to win?

- There's more to it.
- What more is there than life?

Racing to go nowhere.

Where is not the point.

The point is how.

As fast as you can.

And death?

Is it worth it?

Death is afraid of those
who pursue it.

Instead of waiting for it,

we run after it,

and it moves away.

Jane?

Thanks.

Thank you for
what you're doing for us.

[helicopter thrumming]

[soft music]

Roöhrl should arrive at
the time control

10 minutes earlier.

[Cesare] Okay, see
you at the checkpoint.

[ambient music]

[engine revving]

[helicopter thrumming]

What's going on?

What's wrong man?

During the road section

I felt a vibration of
the clutch pedal.

Sinister noise, so I stopped.

I think it's the bearing.

It's the bearing.

[Cesare] So change it.

We can't.

What do you mean we can't?

We don't have another one.

Why don't we have another
one, sorry?

Sir, in 10 years of rallying,
I've never seen a
broken bushing.

Do you realize what
you're saying?

It's like a pilot not having a
parachute because he's
never crashed!

Even if we had one...

We have to be at the
stop control...

At 12.45, I know what
time we need to be there,
is that clear? I know.

12.45.

[Walter] Okay.

[timer ticking]

[engine revving]

Excuse me, are you
saying if we had another bearing
you could change it?

If we had one,
technically it would
be possible.

[timer ticking]

[clock ticking]

[engine revving]

There, you see? You
only need to ask.

- Vuda, come on!
- Sir, again? What's going on?

Nothing. We need your car.
We need the bushing.

Come on, go take
a shower, go on.

Sir, that way Mikkola's first
and Alén second.

Vudafieri would be
third, the first podium of his
life. It's not fair.

You have 50 minutes
to change the bushing.

49.

- That's not how you win.
- What did you say?

- That's not how you win.
- So what is?

- Do you know how to win?
- No, but not like that.

- What do you know
about winning?
- I'm not doing it.

Are you kidding?

- What did you say, sorry?
- I'm not doing it.

Cesare.

They just called me
from the hospital,

Kurt's back with us again.

Kurt is back.

He's back with us again.

Kurt is back.

[soft music]

Change this fucking bushing.

Let's go, we have
an hour, come on.
Come on, quick.

[clock ticking]

[light orchestral music]

[clock ticking]

Brake, like that.

We're almost done.

- Done.
- Come on!

Walter, you have to fly, okay?

You're on time.

[engine revving]

[tires squealing]

[engine revving]

[clock ticking]

[car sliding]

[etheric music]

So now we're at the final stage.

Good strong team,
so we're sure to win.

Mikkola is our strongest player.

[engine revving]

[etheric music]

[helicopter thrumming]

[Copter Rider] Sir, from
here, the weather is variable.

There could be
communication problems.

Sir? Sir, can you hear me?

[crowd cheering]

[Announcer] Here we
are at the last stage

of the rally out of Sanremo.

[Copter Rider] Sir?
Sir, can you hear me?

What did you say, can you
repeat please? I can't hear you.

[Copter Rider] There could
be communication problems.

I'll keep you updated.

[engine revving]

Okay, let's stay in touch.

[Announcer] Fiorio's
Lancia and Gumpert's Audi

play it all out in one
last stage.

Whoever wins today
will conquer

the 1983 Constructors'
Championship.

Mikkola leads the championship
and seems to be the favorite.

Alen, second Lancia driver.

And finally, Roöhrl.

Will he be able to defeat
Audi?

Today we are making history
here.

Go.

[engine revving]

[rider reading pace notes]

[helicopter thrumming]

[Copter Rider] Mr. Fiorio,
I can see Roöhrl's Lancia.

He is driving very well.

According to intermediate time,

Roöhrl has
12 seconds lead over Mikkola.

12 seconds ahead.

Okay.

[engine revving]

[rider reading pace notes]

[rock music]

[rock music]

[rock music]

[Copter Rider]
Now the road is wet.

It's more difficult.

[helicopter thrumming]

Roöhrl might lose a few seconds.

[engine revving]

Walter, can you hear me?

Walter?

Push on that fucking
pedal, okay?

Because we can still do it.

Mikkola is ahead.

It's not the time to give up.

Give everything you can.

You must recover 10 seconds.

Push, push, push, it's
now or never.

Okay.

Good.

[rock music]

[muffled speaking]

[muffled speaking]

[muffled speaking]

[Copter Rider] There is smoke!

I cannot hear you. Repeat.

There was smoke. I can't see.

There is smoke. A
car caught fire.

Whose car has caught fire?

[Copter Rider] I don't
understand, I can't see well.

I can't tell if it's
Mikkola or Roöhrl's Lancia.

Walter? Walter, can hear me?

Can you hear me? Walter, please!
