The Sanremo Music Festival is the most popular Italian song contest and awards, held annually in the town of Sanremo, Imperia, Italy, and consisting of a competition amongst previously unreleased songs. The Festival was the inspiration for the Eurovision Song Contest.

The Lancia Deltas were expected to win the San Remo Rally, but the question was, which driver? Uncharacteristic weather beset the Italian Riviera and further assisted the four-wheel drive cars, but could Markku Alen win again after the 1986 Peugeot exclusion debacle? Massimo “Miki” Biasion perhaps was the man most likely to upset the hopes of the Finn, and with the Manufacturers’ title already secured by Lancia, there was no particular team orders in operation, or so it seemed. With the patriotic crowds firmly behind the Martini-sponsored Lancia’s the stage was set for a great showdown with Jean Ragnotti in the Renault 11 Turbo and Didier Auriol driving an RED Ford Sierra Cosworth. Britain’s Jimmy McRae used his success in the Tudor Webasto Manx International Rally to land a drive in a second Cosworth, but with five other Lancias in the fray the result was was going to be well-earned by whoever made it to the top step of the podium.

The Lancia’s on home territory - what a combination the rest of the competitors had to deal with at the 1988 Rallye Sanremo, held in the hills above Turin. The early asphalt sections would suit the Ford Sierra RS Cosworths of Didier Auriol and Stig Blomqvist, whilst the ‘87 champion Juha Kankkunen was hoping to restore some pride with a good drive in the Toyota Celica GT-Four. Italian rally fans were out in force to back Biasion driving the Lancia Delta Integrale as he tried to clinch his first World Championship crown, on home ground. The battle for the Group N title was another that could be settled at Sanremo, with Argentinian Jorge Recalde and Belgian Pascal Gaban arrived at the start on level pegging, with just one more round to go in the Championship.

The penultimate round of the 1989 World Rally Championship proved to be a battleground for the Toyota Celica GT-Fours piloted by Juha Kankkunen, Carlos Sainz and Patrick Snyers and the new 16 valve Lancia Delta Integrales of Miki Biasion, Alex Fiorio and Didier Auriol.

After a somewhat disappointing season, West German Walter Rohrl bounced back to give the Audi team a welcome boost to morale with a devastating victory in the San Remo Rally in Italy. It had been thought Timo Salonen would lead the Peugeot team to another win. However, he was eclipsed by a brilliant drive from the former world champion. Nevertheless, Salonen and the Peugeot are established as the champions for 1985. This video graphically illustrates the hazards the drivers had to face, not least being the huge clouds of dust and the almost suicidally reckless spectators who were nearly as dangerous as the notorious crowds in Portugal. The Lancias made a welcome comeback and added colour to an event, which turned out more a test of stamina than predicted. Rohrl can be seen hurling the big Quattro through the mountains sometimes defying the laws of gravity in his urgency to see off the little French turbos. On the gravel or tarmac, San Remo belonged to Rohrl. See how he did it.

The drama which has followed the 1986 World Rally Championship continued as the drivers contested the week-long San Remo event in Italy. This classic review captures the action as the top teams battled out on the tarmac and gravel in their final Continental appearance before the Group B Peugeots, Lancias and Metros became outlawed. To do justice to the final fling of the 400bhp 4x4 monsters the cameramen searched out the finest spots to record the top-speed straights and the thousands of breathtaking sweeps along the Riviera. But there was more than the usual behind-the-scenes activities contributing to the overall picture and before the San Remo result was finalised there was action threatening to upset the entire championship.
