glad to see the rob option after all these years

Mouton. FWD, RWD, AWD, LHD, RHD, snow, dirt, tarmac... she excelled in all situations.

True

She's like RG3. Cool and exciting at first, but now....

Danica Patrick is only famous because she's a woman. She is a subpar driver nowadays.

For posterity, this video of Sabine does her more justice.

I've watched that a few times, just counted out the madness. 40th to 1st in one lap, but had passed 21 cars in 1 minute! :crazy:

I couldn't think of any more well known female pro drivers. I know there are some, but I couldn't think of any.

Carmen Jorda.

Fun fact: Lyn St. James is at Sebring with me this weekend! I'm peeved I forgot to bring the Courier's steering wheel for her to sign. Janet Guthrie was the one I was thinking of but couldn't remember. The Powers sisters have been very successful in drag racing, right?

Mouton, by a mile. Wrestling a group B Audi Quattro sport around is not for the unskilled, and racing on the dirt at those speeds and conditions make going fast on the paved track a walk in the park. On top of that, the Sport Quattros had no driver's assistance, traction control or any other drivers aid. You also had huge crowds on the course that may or may not get out of the way in time.

If I had to guess, if Mouton, Schmitz and heck, Danica Patrick were all able to race each other head to head while in their prime, (Danica wasn't even born when Michelle was kicking ass) my money is on Michelle. I'd bet she'd win by a huge margin on the dirt, and by a good bit on the track as well. Rally drivers are the best drivers in the world, hands down. Group B drivers were driving some of the craziest cars in history, on the dirt, snow, mud, and occasionally tarmac. I'd like to see Schmitz or Patric wrestle a Group B car in the same conditions that Michelle did. I'd be surprised if they finished the race.

You took the words right out of my mouth bro,i could not have described a better comparison between drivers !!!!:up:

[matthugie]

I wanted to go with Sabine, but it's pretty much impossible for me to vote against someone who raced Group B.

[BlackbirdM3]

Lyn St. James is one.

Good point. I totally forgot about her. I'd still say Mouton would win.
