Part 3 - Racing Cars Driven by Female Champions

The history of rallying has changed considerably over the years: today's world has forced organisers to adjust their approach to races that no longer have the adventurous dimension they once had. From long-distance races such as Liège-Rome-Liège or Monte Carlo itself, with its stage starts in cities that were far from the Principality such as Rome, Athens, or Prague, all winding their way to Monaco for the final battles on the French Alps and the famous Col de Turini, we have moved on to races where short and difficult special stages determine the ranking.

Pat Moss, over 100 international rallies contested, with his famous brother Stirling. Same last name, both champions

There are three women who played a significant role in the adventures of a time when both members of the crew were called to drive with commitment and speed. There could have been a fourth if we added Marie Claude Beaumont, who later passed to racing circuits and whom we met in the second chapter of this female pride and courage series, but for now, we’ll focus on Pat Moss, Claudine Bouchet and Michèle Mouton with her partner Fabrizia Pons.
