p6x Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Just because we have been debating females on motorbikes; the attempts of female to win on motorbike races have been unsuccessful so far. But if you have never heard about an exceptional lady driver who won against male counterparts, here's Michèle Mouton: 1 Link to comment
motortouring Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 And there is Jutta Kleinschmidt, a Dakar Veteran and Champion. 1 Link to comment
p6x Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 @motortouring Never heard about her before. Great!!! Link to comment
LowRyter Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 She set the record up Pikes Peak back in the '80s IIRC. Total bad ass. Link to comment

p6x Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 @docc By winning the 2022 Monte Carlo Rally, Sebastien Loeb set a new record; oldest driver ever to win a WRC rally. He won 9 times the WRC world championship. Incidentally, Sebastien Ogier won 8 times so far, still in the race to get to nine this year, arrived 2nd at the 2022 Monte Carlo after leading, but had a puncture to give Loeb the win. It seems like when you are born, if they name you Sebastien, you are bound to become a talented rally driver? When you think about it, (Finland, Sweden, Norway) always were the countries producing the best rally drivers. 1 Link to comment
LowRyter Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 When Michelle set the record up The Mountain the road was largely unpaved. It's paved all the way now. Link to comment

I'd take these two any day for style and substance as well. Back to Pikes peak...everyone should enjoy a ride up there at least once on a motorcycle...it's a fun ride to the North Pole, well worth the investment in time to get there. Link to comment

p6x Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 For those of you unfamiliar with what the Monte Carlo means, watch this!!! no boring narrative, just the facts, and a back flip at the end.... 1 Link to comment
