Acropolis Rally 1990 (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The Acropolis Rally is one of the oldest and, almost certainly, the toughest. Nowhere else in the series do you find such rough roads - with huge rocks laying in wait to rip tyres to shreds or shatter suspension systems. With this nightmarish scenario to set the scene, round 5 of the World Rally Championship series got off to a flying start - with one of the best fields in the series so far. As was expected the event developed into a no-holds-barred battle for supremacy between the old rivals Lancia, Toyota and Mitsubishi with the Subaru teams hoping to wipe the floor with all of them. The relative newcomer from Japan is noted for its speed and ability to tackle all road conditions. Could this be its big moment?

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
