During the Rally Sanremo of 1983, the real Lancia 037 with starting number #16 experienced a dramatic course.
Driver Fabrizio Tabaton and co-driver Luciano Tedeschini came out for the team Grifone Würth. Although they started the rally strongly, they had to give up early after a severe accident (crash) during the 27th classification test (SS27). The car was badly damaged, but the drivers remained unharmed.
Despite the failure of this particular #16 car, the Rally Sanremo of 1983 became a historic success for Lancia. The factory team dominated the rest of the field with a full top-3 occupancy:
Media Stellantis
Markku Alén (Lancia 037) – 1st place
Walter Röhrl (Lancia 037) – 2nd place
Attilio Bettega (Lancia 037) – 3rd place
Thanks to this monster victory, Lancia secured the coveted WRC constructors title on exactly 7 October 1983. This was a legendary achievement, as the rear-wheel-drive Lancia 037 managed to defeat the then revolutionary four-wheel-drive Audi Quattros.
