Lansdowne's Special Guest

Michelle Mouton

Lansdowne recently held a fund-raising dinner with an extraordinary guest - Michelle Mouton. Michele150 (10K)

Michelle is undoubtedly the most sucessful female rally driver of all time, and to have this special visitor to dine and entertain made the evening a big hit. Guests were treated to a special menu, which Michelle later signed.

Mouton-2 (12K) Michelle was also the star attraction at the Dunlop International Classic Rally in Otago, where she competed in Rossendale's Ford Escort RS1800, along with co-driver Farizia Pons.

Although being the only woman ever to win a World Rally Championship Round, Michelle has not raced in a major rally since 2004. She usually drives four wheel drives, and was looking forward to the challenge of a rear wheel drive.

Michelle and Farizia didn't take away the cup at the Rally, but she certainly won the hearts and respect of those of us here at Rossendale.
