If racing is considered as men’s sport, then rallying is by analogy the manliest of all the men's sports. However, one lady made a big entrance to the world of rallying in the most dangerous period and left a huge mark on its history.
For me, Michele Mouton was the bravest, most skillful, and most successful woman in motorsport history. She was active in rally-racing between 1974 and 1986, scoring four wins and nine podiums, finishing best in the world championship in the second place in 1982.
