Lets face it,road rallying in the middle of night with full house Group 4 cars is what really killed rallying in the UK should one care to delve a bit deeper. Tell a lie!..Loads other compounding reasons.
Wow, so cool! Michele Mouton was seriously one of the best drivers in the world at the time. If you look at her whole career, you find that she was a consistent front-runner, and not just in Rally Cars. She was a class-winner at Le Mans as well, for example. She very nearly beat the great Walter Rohrl for the WRC, winning four rounds in the process. When the FIA banned the super-fast Group B category of cars, she retired, saying "It's a good time to stop". Maybe she wasn't interested in going so much slower in the Group A cars, but I really don't know. A unique character and one of the best drivers in WRC history.
always impressed at Michele Mouton driving so audaciously at a time when safety regulations were way looser and cars much more difficult to handle than now, she has nerves of steel even by the standard of 1980's rally drivers
Man, it’s hard not to fall in love with Michele Mouton even though this video was shot before I was born, but it’s also annoying that highlights of her are often paired with music about how hot she is since she’s such a badass driver in her own right! 🦸🏻♀️💪🏎
I am also madly in love with her but I hate people commenting about how beautiful she is. Let's appreciate her for the terrifying badass she is, not eye candy 😒
She is indeed the full package. I would kill for a time machine to go back and be her co-driver. Then id marry her and try to produce second gen ms.moutons haha. No other female has even come close to her level of achievement. That needs to change. Hope I see it in my lifetime.
What a beautiful woman, with such a feminine and charming personality. Who can then get into a brutal group b quattro and win rallies against the worlds best drivers. She is 1 in a million. Today's female drivers could do much worse than look at how she gained her success.
I have always been a fan of Rallying and one of my favourite drivers of all time is Michelle Mouton...she was a charismatic and beautiful woman who broke down barriers and became one of the most popular rally drivers ever.
THE women of rallying, 30 odd years after the event no female has even come close. I love the sound of that quattro. Well done Sue Baker, would this pass a risk assessment for a reporter to do this now..... not on you're life it wouldn't.
@@Housesider yep 😂. I just took a peek at his subscriptions ….. Newsmax - he prefers to live in a fantasy world rather than reality where women actually exist!
Sue: "How do you think we're doing? Am I coping alright being your navigator?" Michelle: "You know, you never tell me to slow down, so that means I was not quick enough." (laughs). Sue: "Oh, Michelle!" (laughs). Even though they had a 50 second lead...
@@mikeskidmore6754 It's not the knowing, to me, it's Michelle's take on it I thought remarkable, that if her navigator is not telling her to slow, down, she needs to go faster (she is not quick enough). I don't think Sue realised this dynamic during the driving, and she found it funny when she did. That's how I look at it.
it reminds me to nicky lauda (talking about his car): "if you go over 12.000rpm the engine explode, if you go under 12.000rpm you're not quick enough."
yeah exactly, probably because she's a reporter she just thinks that it's all fast and trust the professional, whereas a copilot who knows the limits might be less trusting and say "slow down!!!" @@Michael_Mears
Michelle Moulton😍😍😍...beautiful, fast, clever....just....wow🤯. Why did we just get this one woman? And during the Group B era at that! It’s mind blowing really, and kind of sad that other women have not followed her steps. When they killed group B, they killed rally in my opinion. It’s popularity at the time had peaked.
I totally agree, while I feel no one should ever die in the name of sport it was the innovation and speed that made group B amazing, I'm still dismayed that instead of taking the hard road of introducing higher safety standards for the courses and crowd control they just banned it. Unfortunately it looks like F1 is going down that same road with the 2021 (2022?) regulations.
Michele is a legend. A badass behind the wheel and besides the track she's such a wonderful character, beautiful and funny. I admire her very much. Thanks for the Video, VHS rallies. Danke!!
One thing I love about Michele Mouton is the fact she’s a problem solver! She’s even said it herself! She chose Rallying because of the thrill and the unpredictability! Furthermore… I’d love to ride shotgun with Michele Mouton because My happy ass knows that I’m in good hands!
Brilliant. I was out spectating on this. The Audi sport International was a good rally and a shake down for crews doing the RAC rally. I think later it became the bulldog rally. Good days excellent rallying. Now days I don't watch the WRC at all on TV. Having come through watching rallying from the late 60s up to to the mid 2000s those were the best years. But the Lombard RAC rally was by far the best for spectating back in the day
Daryl Weidner Number 4 Audi Quattro I remember helping with the sign writing on his Blue Gp4 Escort, as a 16 year old YOP/YTS schemer in1980 Didnt have a clue. Fast forwsrd a year or 2 and we are in the woods every weekend possible watching events like this
Errr..... Michele (grave accent) Mouton was one of my greatest heroes. Spatial awareness (usually granted to men), pretty and able to handle the Audi Quattro (Grp B). I drove lots of 'modified' VAG cars but Ms. Mouton? A different level........
I think,Michele drive this rally almost blind,normal rally langue it France..now co driver use English.. Also she keep still best stage time in here Finland,Pohjola Rally.. 😍
Speed Racer starring Michelle Mouton.😎Think about it she was Rallying in what is now banned "B-Class",she was beating some of the Worlds Top Drivers ,mainly thought to be dominated by male drivers in the sport of Rally Racing.She caught the bug at an early age,she learned to be a co-driver first then she started be a driver.👍🏆
Just watching this ..... Honestly Michelle would have been better off alone...... Honestly so unprofessional approach...... BBC...... JUST ABOUT READY.......... UNBELIEVABLE.......
Well F1 teams are not bothered about what sex is in the cockpit, all they care about is how quick they are, so women have the equal opportunities as men to face at the top end, they just have to prove it through their skill and talent. Same as men do.
Imagine if she had gotten together with Ayrton Senna! SPEED BABYS lol Picture the lil tike on his lil big wheel or her barbie dream car drifting round the corner of the living room to the kitchen at top speed haha.
"You never told me to slow down so i wasnt going fast enough." Simply awesome.
I’ll never forget the Man who said “I knew he wouldn’t cut me because he has a family at home”
"Rallying is a highly popular sport" Wish the same could be said nowadays :/
Lets face it,road rallying in the middle of night with full house Group 4 cars is what really killed rallying in the UK should one care to delve a bit deeper. Tell a lie!..Loads other compounding reasons.
Yes, the health and safety lot have relegated the sport to meh at best.
It still kinda popular, it just that motorsport in general getting more niche
Still it is,but the cars back in the days are much better in style and sound
Oh yes drivers aren't dying every third race. Boring.
Even through the video, she has a timeless charm about her. An absolute legend!!
You read my thinking

@Michael Lorenson So true 😎❤
she racked up one seemingly impossible achievement after the other in both Le Mans, WRC and Pike's Peak

both made the show great in their own ways
You make it sound like Turning it into a comedy wasn't a good decision

She was so fast that she didn't need to be so charming, but she chose to be both.
I'm in love with Michelle Mouton (have been since 1983)
Had to LOL at the breakfast almost coming back up at the first pit stop. Michele was wicked fast.

Always great to see Michele 👍🏻
Two legends of the sport. An absolute pleasure to see this again!
"You didn't tell me to slow down, so I am going too slow..." 😆😆😆😆
Wonderful!
Fantastic, thanks for posting.
*She not only survived in a Mans world ...... but competed in it*
And almost won, but 2nd place is still amazing, not many can say they got 2nd.

Good old Chobham proving ground.
You never told me to slow down, so I was not doing fast enough

Michèle Mouton is proof that women can be successful in motorsport. They just have to be quick enough and they've got the job.
I'd love to see a female F1 champion in my lifetime.
I hear a lot of people claim that women can't drive and a woman F1 champion would shut them up.
Well F1 teams are not bothered about what sex is in the cockpit, all they care about is how quick they are, so women have the equal opportunities as men to face at the top end, they just have to prove it through their skill and talent. Same as men do.

A great Video about a time that is gone. I just realised what a said and shit times we are living and that the future is not a happy place.
