This is Later with Lee Matthews the Lee Matthews Podcast More what You Hear Weekday
Afternoon's on the Drive. Ricardo scar Marcio is joining us now. You might
have seen him in Haunting in Venice with Kenneth Branna and Tina Fey. I've
watched that over the weekend and got a chance to see it. The newest
project he is in is called Race for Glory. Audi Versus Lancia and Ricardo.
We all know about Ford versus Ferrari. I don't know if the American
audience knows about the Race for Glory Race. Yeah, but that is why
I'm here to just present this movie that I produced and I'm the leading actor
called Race for Glory, which is like it tells the story. It inspired
by true events and we tell the story of the World Championship of Bradley in
nineteen eighty three, which was like a very particular year because the ODI team
they start using the forward drive technology which before it didn't exist. It so
they were like unbitable, you know, they were the strongest team because of
this new technology, because of a lot of money they invested. Because we
have to know that all these brands Lancia, Odi or Reynold, you know,
they posh. They used radley like a training to experiment also the new
technology to make cars being better, and also like a promotional thing, you
know, to sell cars. So it was very important for those brands.
Now the world has changed, but in that moment, you know, Rarey
was like very important, especially in Europe. But of course the movie you
know, is a pretext. I took this story because actually what is in
this story is an underdog story. An underdog where an impossible challenge, you
know, where this team they they they reached to to win this impossible challenge.
So those dynamics were very important for me. So well, there's always
been this rivalry between the automobile industries of Germany and Italy. Yes, oh
yes we were. You know, if we think then you know we have
like we had Errari, we had like Lamborghini, al Sadome. A lot
of brands said that Volkswagen. Of course, this distance became bigger when the
Euros came. But this is another story. It's a political authority. But
in this film, the products, this is something very interesting I think,
because you know, there are differences. The Germans are much more organized precise,
very strict in their aptitude. We have the Italians. We are more
more, we live more in confusion. The capacity of improvise is always around
the corner. You know. It's a very different kind of thing. But
we win this world championship. We won this World championship with the German pilot.
Well, I was also wondering if the rivalry has anything to do with
a lot of alpine driving. You must have a high perf pformance automobile to
successfully navigate the alpine roadways. What do you mean would mean? I don't
get the question. Sorry, Well, the rivalry between Italy and Germany,
I'm wondering if it evolved following World War Two when automobiles were becoming more affordable
for the general public, but those automobiles needed to be high performance in order
to be able to handle the alpine roadways of northern Italy and southern Germany.
Yeah, yeah, it's true. It is that that that for sure,
it is true. This is another element, yes, that contributes. But
I think basically is like their valerie is naturally there for Our difference is the
cultural difference is you see, because with the Germans, you know, you
always have to be on time. Very you know what I mean, well,
wealthy audience, it's you know, this is like it's a little bit
obvious what I'm saying, but you know, there is the truth there.
Ricardo Scarmarcio. The name of the film is Race for Glory Audi Versus Lancia.
It is in theaters right now. Speaking of cultural differences, for once,
Daniel Brule is not playing a loadsome Nazi. No exactly. It's good
to see him out of uniform. And that is a thing where he says
that, you know, don't don't you think that you know, the Germans
are just you know, organization and precision, but don't think that you know,
let's not be here, go obvious. But you know, Daniel is
a friend and and he's a wonderful actor. Tom. I'm so happy that
is with us, you know, in this project, Race for Glory Audi
Versus Lancia produced and stars in theaters now Ricardo scar Marcio. And this must
have been a fairly expensive film to produce, with all of the stunts that
were needed. Yes, it was, believe me. So it is the
scene of the accident you see in the movie actually is kind of real accident.
We had but thank god we had an insurance. We have insurance.
Well did you did you, or Vulcar or Daniel do any of your own
driving Volca? Yes? Me, I I tried while we were shooting,
because you know, I'm I played the team managers, so in the movie
I don't have to try. Uh. Yes, he did defe and me
too. I tried those cars a couple of times. Yeah, but you
know, I was very, very very careful and implored they were one million
eight. Yes, I think so. I wouldn't want to. I would.
I wouldn't. I would find it irresistible but terrifying at the same time.
Exactly exactly see true see the results of it in Ricardo Scar Marcio's Race
for Glory Audi Versus Lancia. It's in theaters everywhere. We thank you for
joining us and I can't wait to see the film. Thank you, Thank
