Michèle Mouton

Michèle Mouton
Nobody doubts that one of the most influential women in the racing world is Michèle Mouton. In her young years she became the most famous and successful rally driver of all time, winning at San Remo, Portugal, Acropolis and Brazil. She also raced at Le Mans in 1975, and in 1985 she climbed the Pikes Peak, where she asserted her status as a champion by setting three milestones in a row: she was the first non-US participant to win the race, she was the first female driver in winning it and she broke the global time record.

After announcing the ban on Group B cars, Mouton decided to put an end to her sports career, although she has remained attached to the world of the motor racing, dedicating himself to the complicated task of supervising safety, calendars and regulations of the World Rally Championship, in addition to organizing the Race of Champions.

One of the emblematic machines that Michelle drove was the sophisticated Audi Quattro Sport S1, and Reji recreates the decoration used in the 1985 British Midland Ulster Rally to be used in the new Beemax kit or in any of the previously existing resin kits. A wise decision!
