Description
I had the privilege of meeting Michèle Mouton, a rally legend and an endless source of inspiration. Known as "the beautiful black volcano", Michèle Mouton made history by becoming the first and only female runner-up in an international FIA competition. Over a cup of coffee, she reflects on an incredible career full of fascinating stories. She was at the heart of Group B, the golden age of rallying, where danger was ever-present. She was runner-up in the 1982 World Rally Championship, despite having suffered a personal tragedy that very morning. She won at Pikes Peak, under heavy criticism from macho drivers who bashed her. A protégé of Jean Todt, she went on to set up her own competition and is now in charge of rally safety. She has managed to successfully balance her life as a woman, her family and her career as a top-level sportswoman. She never claimed to be a feminist: she just wanted to win.
