Michèle Mouton is one of the most well-known female rally drivers. She was the first woman (and so far the only) to win a round in the World Rally Championship in Sanremo in 1981. She finished a close second overall in the 1982 WRC after wins in Portugal, Brazil and Acropolis. In 1985, she was the first woman to win the Pike's Peak hillclimb race in the US. Mouton co-founded the Race of Champions in 1988.
