The 1983 World Rally Championship sparked an intense rivalry between the Italian and German contenders. Hannu Mikkola, representing Audi, beat the defending world champion, Walter Röhrl, and his Lancia teammate Markku Alén, thus winning the drivers' title. The Lancia team managed to snatch the manufacturers' title from Audi by a narrow margin of two points.

In the film, Brühl will play Roland Gumpert, who is competing against Italy’s workforce supervisor, Cesare Fiorio (Scamarcio), to win the championship. Fiorio is determined to win and assembles a team of medical doctors and nutritionists. He manages to talk to German driver Walter Röhrl (Bruch) and persuades him to drive for Lancia against Audi’s reigning champion, Hannu Mikkola. This confrontation is akin to the infamous Ford vs Ferrari rivalry and is well known within the racing community.
