The Argentina Rally saw the return of the Martini Lancia team after missing out the previous round in New Zealand. Two of the all-conquering Delta Integrale cars were used, one for championship leader Miki Biasion, the other for local hero Jorge Recaldo who so nearly won the rally in 1987. A third Integrale was driven by ’87 New Zealand Rally winner Franz Wittmann. The superb countryside mirrored the efforts of the World’s finest rally drivers as they battled through the heat and dust in a classic South American encounter.
