Michèle Mouton REACTS to her Victory at the 1982 WRC Acropolis Rally 

They haven't made a movie because they cannot replace her with a black lesbian

@@davidaugustofc2574Calm down.

​@@davidaugustofc2574 are you ok?

@@igbatious It was Funny, snowflake!

​@@davidaugustofc2574don't do that...this is a happy place

best woman driver in motorsports of all time, period. Heck, she gave Walther Röhrl a run for his money, only few humans can say that

@@philippbehrend5559 Lets not forget Louise aitken - walker, she was another talented female Rally driver

Lia Block dude. She has a very bright future.

She's one of the world's best drivers, period. It doesn't matter that she never won a World Championship. She held her own against the best, and that makes her one of the best.

@@Stickleback she was definitely female. Not sure about anything else.

100%! I mean, the balls it takes to drive that and BEAT a record is just monumental.

@@caprise-music6722hmm 🤔

@@caprise-music6722 Or in that specific case, lack of...

.... all French women drive like that!

@@Yucat7 Back then, Pikes Peak was mostly dirt with very few patches of pavement and she was fighting hard not just against W. Rohrl but also against Ari Vatanen those were fighting to be fastest .. for her was twice as hard !

Do you believe in Santa Claus 🎅 too 😆😆😆

@@valiantone395 Your dad will never come back with the milk and cigarettes, it's been 10 years, you can let it go man.

@@SpeedyJuiceMan You like Satan Claws 🦞 too 😆😆😆

​@@valiantone395who hurt you?

@@lukasadamson6091 Tell me how you really feel are you an elf? 🤣🤣🤣

Yes they were good friends. She co created the Race of Champions in memory of him

After having done some pretty extensive research on group B and Toivonen, particularly his fatal crash, it's pretty refreshing to know that he's still remembered...

That part makes me feel really sad man.

He was one of the few drivers that respected her in that era.

Brendan Schaub is a better woman driver!

She still looks fantastic and sharp-minded. I wish after retiring from racing she would have been a TV racing analyst.

she made that audi more special!

She didn’t dominate tho

@@GTAracingUK She was in a dominating car. That's it. Every other manufacturer had 2WD but Audi had got rid of the regulation banning 4WD. What a shocker, their 4WD car was ready that very year. 😀

@@steveroyer1628doesnt even matter because next year in 1983 they lost to the RWD lancia 037

@@Deadlyranger3 I've seen the movie. Lancia used a few tricks to win. 🙂 (good for them). One, unproved so unmentionned in the movie, was a fake rollcage.

@@Deadlyranger3 but we're not talking about 1983 when Lancia knew what they were fighting. We're talking about 1982 and the 4WD surprise box 🙂

YEAH. But I very much doubt any contemporary actress can play Michelle.

@@user-pt1ow8hx5l Oh yeah, literally an impossible role to cast. Pretending to be a racecar driver? Unthinkable!

Well Queen of speed is at least good docu/movie about her :)

@@Rentta yes, it Is😀 but I mean a a movie like "Rush", for the big audience

@@HeretixAevum ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jf3YMaf0ATc.html

Yeah it's absolutely amazing, I hadn't even heard of Michelle until a video from Josh Revell and I was shocked there was never talk (atleast in where I looked) of here until then

It's really good. I started watching rally after her time and I can't help but think it was intentional I never heard a out her.

Me too!! As a single father of a bad azz woman (who happens to have a mother in law that was the Spanish rally car champion of 1984 [?]) and now a grandfather to an amazing lil’ girl I wept tears of joy and inspiration!! What a wonderful video and reminder of amazing women!!! Bless Up!!!

Made in France 🇫🇷💪🏻

You can brake much later going uphill

Introduce her to Taru Rinne as well - she beat Järvilehto, Salo and one Mika Häkkinen in junior karts. Also the first woman to score points in world series motorcycle racing

@@kurjahko I did a quick peak into her career and took away 2 things: holy she was an absolute monster and f*** Bernie eccelstone. But thank you I'll show her today :)

That's a shame she is more famous in Portugal and Greece than France. Truely a legend of rallye.

@@alexterrieur9639Agree. I work with a French guy who's about my age and never heard about her. Shameful indeed.

I wouldn't say we "need" more, but if they want to do it, go for it. I've got nothing against women in motorsports. Let their skill at driving do the talking.

@@jonathanpinckney9227 I know what you want to say. And I agree. What I wanted to say is this - Im a father of a daughter that want to go racing. And perhaps more girls would be more inspired to go racing if they see a woman in the sport. I understand that the skil should be the most importand thing but if a young girl see a woman in a top motosport she will have more determination to do so. Also my youngest daughter who is now six years old is starter to follow the motorsport because she see her oldest sister and she want to be like her.

@@user-dr9qw1mm5m I have to applaud you for your civil reply. I for one think "We" do need more women and girls in motorsport and for @jonathan to be so blissfully ignorant that he thinks "they just need to show their skills" is to completely disregard how motorsport is simply not set up for women to succeed. Like you say, there are not enough role models. Not enough sponsors willing to take chances on women, not enough backing in most places. It's slowly getting better with a more organized effort but that will still take years to take effect. But once the sport is a whole lot more welcoming, then the talents will be found. And good luck to you and your girls, that's awesome!

@@AntiVaganza I'll admit, I am ignorant when it comes to motorsports. Is there something preventing women from succeeding in motorsports, or are you saying they should change the sport to cater more towards women, specifically?

@@jonathanpinckney9227 Ah, sorry if I came of as harsh, then. Yeah, it's mostly that it's just so engrained that it's a guys' sport. There are so few women in the sport - on any level, in any position. It really is a boys' club on the performance side (a few exceptions but not many). It's slowly changing, but actually as opposed to many other sports, the cool thing is that women can actually compete on an equal level. There are examples of girls beating boys in the early gocart classes and then the boys get the backing to continue to the higher classes (it's out of the reach for most families to progress past gocart without sponsors) and some of those boys end up world champions of F1, literally. All this, just to say, that yes, there are girls out that with the talent, it's just that they don't catch the same breaks as the boys and they fall by the wayside. It's slowly changing, the sport itself has realized something must be done, so there are programs now to get more girls into the sport - also on the engineering side - and to make pathways financially for the real talents not to get stranded. The talent pool is not huge yet, but that comes back to the lack of role models. If you are a young girl and you have never seen a female racing driver, it's hard to start believing you could become one. In tennis, basket, cycling, swimming, skiing, etc, etc, etc you will see women making a living from their sport and passion. Very few such cases - and even fewer high profile ones - in motorsport. But if the initiatives in place now stay in place and grow, there's no reason why there couldn't be a female F1 driver on the grid in 10-15 years time or so. Maybe a bit more depending on how big it becomes on the grassroots level of course. Statistically, I guess with a bigger pool of talent to get those special ones.

well yea, not much competition she had to that title :) Kinda tells you a lot about differences between sexes...

​@@IShypernot really, she was one off the best between man drivers.

@@remcocraane3862 - there were not and are not many female drivers who can compete with males, so my statement still stands :) Also she had like the best car.

@@IShyper that car stiĺl lost against Walther Rohrl in a backwheeldriven Lancia 037.

​You seem like a miserable person who desperately needs to hold onto feeling women are inferior to feel any little bit of importance because you can’t accomplish anything meaningful yourself. Sad way to live.​@@IShyper

Yeah, this is Kenya special only, there were no road sections so they need to drive all day long

I forgot, Michelle you were and are beautiful

Awesome car Awesome driver

if someone didnt know her, they would have no idea that shes the best female driver of all time, honestly, one of the most important drivers ever.

@@athenyx_e absolutely true

This is a Group 4 base Quattro, the Group B Quattro A1 was introduced a year later.

@@kingtiger3390 she did Group B too.
