Michele Mouton, the only lady to win a World Championship Rally, recently got back behind the wheel of a Porsche 911, in preparation for the Rallye International du Maroc from October 9-16.
2 year break from driving, unfamiliar with the car, the car being a classic 911 known for deadly snap oversteer, on gravel, being driven hard, holding a conversation in a secondary language. Anyone who knows this and isn't impressed is a moron. She makes me think of Tiff Needell, but he's talking in his first language, on tarmac, often in much more predictable cars. He has it easy. :)
I was 14 when I saw her win the Sanremo rally, I looked at her at the awards and fell in love. 42 years have passed and still today my heart beats strong for her...
gbean Rally drivers are the most fearless of all racecar drivers, especially ones from her era, she drove in the days of super long stages, 600 horsepower off road sports cars and spectators literally running out of the way as you came around the corner, in no era that's ever existed has a NASCAR stock car driver came anything close to the danger of rallying. Nothing else in a car is or has ever been as on the edge. Imagine driving at break neck speed on back country roads with no run off sometimes on the side of a mountain, with little knowledge of the course just a navigator calling out the turns and route.
@@chrish3510 it's still like that man the spectators haven't become any smarter over the years and technology has advanced so you can drive a course even faster in theory.
I love it how she keeps claiming "aah, I'm used to AWD, so eeeh RWD I have to get used to." "I have not driven for 2 years now, I have to get used to this kind of driving again." She says so, but in the meanwhile she is driving a visciously scary car, that is frightening even on tarmac, with high speed doing some decent jumps and sliding through corners, scaring the shit out of that guy there... That woman is a LEGEND!! I don't even want to know how she drives that car, when she is getting used to that car...
Lucas Bakker let alone it's a 911.. Not an easy car to tame unless you can feel what it's doing, your hands and feet know exactly what to do, I can't explain it.. I just can do it. She has natural talent. Like racers they feel it..
Mouton's legacy is amazing and she shows here just how good she is. I would imagine though that she would have hoped that another woman would have surpassed her by this point though. It's a shame that nearly 40 years on, no woman has outdone what she did in Motorsport.
Lady is pulverising the track, driving her 911 like a cowboy : "I'm sorry for the handling, I haven't drive for a long time, this is just a test drive" holy shit
Sweet Jesus, that woman can drive! Tail happy 911 on gravel and the occasional hill to jump over and she sounds like she's having her morning coffee! Amazing!
Well said Chris, theres a lot of men on here disrespectful towards her when in reality they should be doing her housework while she has more important things to do 🤙
My favorite Michele quote was after she won the Pike's Peak Hill Climb multiple time winner Bobby Unser complained that a French woman driving a German car should not have been allowed to compete in front of her she cooly and calmly replied; “If you have the balls you can try to race me back down as well.” Lul, he didn't.
I would hate to be the poor SOB that has to detail out the interior of said vehicle after she takes kids to ANYWHERE (parents are always complaining about mess on normal roads while driving quasi normally. imagine this).
Eine der größten Frauen,die ich kenne! Hut ab und Verneigung vor ihr! Ich bin Verehrer von Walter Röhrl, aber ich hätte ihr den Rally Weltmeister Titel von Herzen gegönnt. Ein langes Leben Michele. Liebe Grüße Thomas Schuchardt Germany.
Bruh,fearless woman on the wheel,so much notion and talent,every turn looks so natural like she is already fully connected with the car,genius driving!
Great to see her behind the wheel again. Almost 60 years old and still fast (and beautiful, btw. ;-) ). Michèle je t'adore sérieusement. Au volant, tu sais ce que tu fais...
When I was in my early 20s, I discovered Rallying. One day I saw that Tamiya had a very nice model kit of a Quattro rally car, and it had Michelle's name on it as the driver. I wondered, who was this woman? So I began to find out about her and quickly I was in love not only with the amazing Quattros, but with her. =) She was a fearless, determined woman, who had to prove everyone wrong about a woman's ability to compete in motorsport. So earned everything she got, the hard way. Even Walter Röhrl, a very outspoken critic of her in the beginning, eventually recanted. When she got out of that car after a hard drive, took off her helmet, and shook that wonderful dark mane of French hair.... that was a good day racing. =) I wish her continued success in everything she does.
this lady is full of hilarious understatement and humility... shes talking about "oh I am not used to the car, I haven't driven in a while" while she throws this thing around making it look easy
Proof that Rally is good for you, I mean look at Michelle, not only does she drive fantastically she looks fantastic as well! In all seriousness fanboyism Michelle is my favorite Group B driver. Yes she smashed the boys club by winning in Monaco but I just love her style, flat out but SO precise, you can see a lot of what Loeb does came from Michelle originally.
Oh it's been two years since I drove a rally car. (procedes to throw a freakin wrap you around a tree era 911 into a four wheel airborne drift over a rise like it's just a cruise to the next starbucks.) Absolute legend.
Most drivers in this world are not talking "i havent driven rally carry car for 2 years" while correcting snap oversteer of 911. Without any pause mid sentence. We love you Michele.
She drives like it’s her everyday morning commute and that’s how a legend behaves. True legends don’t try too hard like a whackass poseur, even if they’re trying their best.
When you got it you got it! Have a look at this ladies history, will surprise, even shock people she was as good as the guys and often beat them. The guy were the best ever!
Camera Inside: Just a normal interview with a woman driving the car. Camera outside: Porsche 911 driving wildly, drifting and jumping in the wilderness. Love it!!
Madame se promène en racontant sa vie, le journaliste a peur et le lui fait comprendre et elle lui dit tranquillement "I think the word key is enjoy" soit "je pense que le mot clé est de profiter" hahaha 😂🤣😂 mortel
at first I thought the interview was not made during driving and thought to myself, it would be funny if she did it so casually while driving and then I saw she actually does 😀
La femme la plus douée dans ce domaine, attention elle a du caractère la mère mouton ;) J'ai souvenir de la voir s'énerver contre les journalistes plus d'une fois 😂
Mark Mcgwires Backne I hope she isn't watching. Danica thankfully only hurt racing cars in Nascar. in the crazy Group B era, with her as a driver, she'd ve either killed herself, co-driver and/or a lot of spectators as in Portugal 86. put it this way, she alone would've had Group B banned 4 years before it was.
It takes a man to drive in the Group B, and one Michelle Also she said that she's not trying to beat the men, but shes trying to keep to those men. a humble driver
"I have to concentrate for that" ... Insane driving in a murderously evil handling car while having a conversation ... All my hats off to you, Michele !

Speaks of her talent
she’s incredible
And most of all, with no co-driver so without pace-notes, guessing the road as she went, huge difference
@@nicolatranchino7089 I believe it's a practice circuit
She used to drive 911 rally car
Flat out, offroad, in one of the most evil handling cars and shes totally conversational. Michele Mouton is incredible. Utter legend!
Corectamundo famous Dave RESPECT 🤙
Bien dit mec !
Don't forget she's also not speaking her native tongue!
@@doobiedisciple786 truth!
Speaking in a foreign language... genre bordel de merde c'est une légende 👌👌👌
I was 14 when I saw her win the Sanremo rally, I looked at her at the awards and fell in love. 42 years have passed and still today my heart beats strong for her...
Im 25 and i cant believe this woman is real...
@@user-pq5ee1gx5l
I've always loved her, a super woman ❤️
Geez , Funny enough same all though Im much younger and learned of her much later lol
RWD rear engine vintage Porche, no helmets, just casually enjoying some rally hoon.
This woman has MORE BALLS than any driver in NASCAR today.

Asshole it was 420 - 480 HP
Larry Lizard not by the end , before it was banned
@@chrish3510 it's still like that man the spectators haven't become any smarter over the years and technology has advanced so you can drive a course even faster in theory.
@@larrylizard4070 nope, the Quattro E2 had 650hp. Do some research
Even on dry roads those old 911s are wild.
Here she's on dirt and gravel and she's just relaxed and chilled like "just enjoy"
I love her!
Easier on loose stuff like that. More predictable, you KNOW that it will slide
@@lancesecrest7577 Actually very true. Plus this is not exactly a widowmaker, Turbo car. In the same way that the Beetle was a good Baja car.
Plus she used to drive a 911 after the Alpine
She's a Motorsport legend. A true Icon.
The "Queen of Group-B Rally" and "Pikes Peak climb with Group-B as well" she still got the fast peace even today.. ;0)
I love it how she keeps claiming "aah, I'm used to AWD, so eeeh RWD I have to get used to." "I have not driven for 2 years now, I have to get used to this kind of driving again."

That woman is a LEGEND!!
I don't even want to know how she drives that car, when she is getting used to that car...
Lucas Bakker she drove the Group B legend Audi quattro, so this is child play for her
Lucas Bakker let alone it's a 911.. Not an easy car to tame unless you can feel what it's doing, your hands and feet know exactly what to do, I can't explain it.. I just can do it. She has natural talent. Like racers they feel it..

I would imagine though that she would have hoped that another woman would have surpassed her by this point though. It's a shame that nearly 40 years on, no woman has outdone what she did in Motorsport.
Few men have come close to doing what she's achieved. If it was a matter of not out done for women, the situation would be acceptable.
Only the Black Volcano could say "I need to get used to it again" while making a car notorious for spinning dance on the dirt. She's amazing.
Lady is pulverising the track, driving her 911 like a cowboy : "I'm sorry for the handling, I haven't drive for a long time, this is just a test drive"
holy shit

Jack Allen That women is a legend of motorsport, one of the greatest rally drivers of all time.

Michele won 4 World Championship Rallyes on Audi Quattro. And in 1982 nearly the World Championship. What a woman - Simply the best !!!
You forgot The French Rally Championish, German Rally Championship, Le Mans, and broke the Unser family stranglehold on Pikes Peak.
He's scared stiffed and she's like "I think the key word is to enjoy". hahah
Raw talent on two legs 👍👍👍
She should have won the WRC in 82.
Crying shame no other women have stepped forward to follow her AWESOME example.
Michele IS HER, an icon, a LEGEND in Motorsport history. I don’t care what anyone says she’s in a whole different league.
Imagine being really late for school and mommy-Mouton taking you for the School run :-)
Imagine being the cop that pulls her over
not sure a cop would get the chance
@@Pippy1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 poor cop lol
I would hate to be the poor SOB that has to detail out the interior of said vehicle after she takes kids to ANYWHERE (parents are always complaining about mess on normal roads while driving quasi normally. imagine this).
If it ain't rally school, she won't consider it that important.
She was actually the one that set the Group B competition alight with her San Remo win.
Michele Moutons legacy of laughing in the face of the men who doubted her, while driving away with their trophy’s.
What a true icon!
Eine der größten Frauen,die ich kenne! Hut ab und Verneigung vor ihr!

Incroyable... Au sommet du pilotage.... rien oublié.
An absolute legend shes having a full on conversion while causality hooning a Porsche
In English
Driving like the wind whilst talking in a foreign language - she was great!
Great to see her behind the wheel again. Almost 60 years old and still fast (and beautiful, btw. ;-) ). Michèle je t'adore sérieusement. Au volant, tu sais ce que tu fais...
We seriously need a Michèle Mouton biopic.

Completely relaxed at full speed.A natural super talent

Just learned about her and really want to see her documentary. What an absolute legend! Queen 👑
Amazing documentary. The queen of speed. You can see it on TH-cam
Proof that Rally is good for you, I mean look at Michelle, not only does she drive fantastically she looks fantastic as well!

The beautiful sport of rally teaches you about life. It’s wonderful in so many ways.
So lay back & calm. She really is the best.
Absolute Legend!

Unlike many frenchmen she used to speak perfect english in 80s. Nowadays her french accent is deeper but his english is very good annyway.
She drives like it’s her everyday morning commute and that’s how a legend behaves. True legends don’t try too hard like a whackass poseur, even if they’re trying their best.
Really impresive ! We are proud to have Michèle has a French driver !
No idea how someone can be that much of a BAMF and still be so cool and smooth. She is one of a kind.
This goes in my "Skill" playlist!
Awesome video and driving!
that last shot is beautiful 2:49
Driving like that and talking,amazing control,hats off!
"learning how to drive again" said the woman with more driver skill in a single hair than most in their entire being
Lol👋🤣👍 she's having a conversacion like is a normal day going to the store. She's awesome!
I can't believe how nonchalant she is while absolutely fucking hooning around a rally track in a 911. Complete badass to the bone
Thats so cool, flat out and shes just chatting away. Such a cool woman!!
A very amazing lady
I was born when michelle win
and now she is still driving?
amazing!!!!
Underrated champion.go Michele
still fast and beautiful
The multitasking of rally never leaves you. Damn I love her.
Good to see Michelle back behind the wheel!
grand respect pour cette dame !!!!
That woman is a Legend
When you got it you got it!
Have a look at this ladies history, will surprise, even shock people she was as good as the guys and often beat them. The guy were the best ever!
Merveilleuse Michèle Mouton !!!

Love it!!
She is so calm talking soft... and he is like "I'm swallowing my own vomit for the third time"
Totally relaxed and poised. I fully expected her to ask the passenger to pass the Grey Poupon.
Mon idole féminin madame MOUTON ❤❤❤
Oh my God wow. Interview going on while rallying. She has super powers 🤩🤩🤩
And in english not in french, with 911 like you when you going make some shoping in Town, crazy.....
Le journaliste rit jaune, c'est excellent !
Madame se promène en racontant sa vie, le journaliste a peur et le lui fait comprendre et elle lui dit tranquillement "I think the word key is enjoy" soit "je pense que le mot clé est de profiter" hahaha 😂🤣😂 mortel

12 dislikes of the familie Unser.
Queen is back!
Legend! She was nearly 60 when that video was filmed I guess, and was not holding one bit.
Absolute Legend ❤❤
SHE IS A LEGEND……
Respect
The key word is to : Enjoy!
its awesome how she's driving flat out and just chatting casually ..lol
Quelle pilote ! 😍❤️💪
Grande Michelle!!!
She is so talented im sure she had enough talent to win races even in f1
she's driving "competitive offroad" AND casually talking to the passenger AND she's thinking and speaking in another language. Females Multitasking.
Wow!!!! Incredible.
This woman drives cold af jesus christ
"The key's work is enjoy", them spirit competition.
Legend
Amazing Driver.
Sure looks extremely relaxed, just centimeters away from the edge of the "Road."
There is no real Road!
Group B will do that to people
Danica, I hope your watching.
Mark Mcgwires Backne I hope she isn't watching. Danica thankfully only hurt racing cars in Nascar. in the crazy Group B era, with her as a driver, she'd ve either killed herself, co-driver and/or a lot of spectators as in Portugal 86. put it this way, she alone would've had Group B banned 4 years before it was.
grande michelle
Sounds like she having a relaxed chat with a friend while driving to the shops 😂😂
Michele Mouton is a living legend.
Awesome to see Michele Mouton in a rally car again. To drive like that and talk in english in normal conversation takes great skill and intelligence.
Veo este vídeo y me recuerda a mi madre llevándome al cole en su Seat 600, que años!!!!!
It takes a man to drive in the Group B, and one Michelle
Also she said that she's not trying to beat the men, but shes trying to keep to those men. a humble driver
Which is classy af because she whooped tons of dudes out there
Besides beeing a total legend of racing she is so damn sexy driving in that fashion.
Most Badass driver PERIOD
I´d be exactly like her passenger here, all giggles and ear to ear smile. What a ride.
A real respectable woman driver... all professional female drivers should focus on driving and not on making money by modeling etc...
She was one rustic hot women when was young and she would stare oh my so wild.
She's so cool, holy shit!
There should be a movie about her.
Let's face it, we all want a mom as cool as her.
MADAME Mouton... respect...
"I have to concentrate for that" ...
Insane driving in a murderously evil handling car while having a conversation ...
All my hats off to you, Michele !
In English as well
Wow this lady is still the legend she was back in the Group B days.
I love you Mouton.
She's now the president for FIA Women in Motorsport Commission, which is really awesome.
Michelle a battu beaucoup de gars en course et même des champions en titre !
