GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MICHÈLE MOUTON campaigned the Group 4 Audi Quattro alongside Hannu Mikkola in 1981, helping establish the groundbreaking all-wheel-drive machine that would dominate rallying and deliver Audi the 1982 Manufacturers’ championship.
- The Peugeot 206 WRC carried Marcus Grönholm to back-to-back world titles and secured three consecutive Manufacturers’ crowns from 1999-2003 before Peugeot’s disastrous switch to the 307 WRC.
