For anyone doubting Michelle's legend status for having a rollover, think about the King of British rallying Collin Mcrae. That guy was upside down almost as much as he was on the wheels. It's apart of the sport when they're truly pushing the boundaries.
If you guys are Quattro fanboys, you better know who Michele Mouton is. She was on the very first batch of quattro drivers together with Röhrl and is regarded a legend as much as the S1 itself. In which she, by the way, placed second in the 1984 pikes peak and first in 1985 with the by then all time best recorded time. She isn't just some girl who did some rallies, she is a genuine contender up there with Röhrl and Vatanen. Oh and she's also a co-founder of this very event, and that car is NOT a replica. That is the very car she used to drive in the WRC as someone else mentioned earlier. Now she doesn't really need to be defended by me, just watch some group B clips with her and it should speak for itself
Chacalx98EVO The only Championship Rally a S1 was able to win, was the San remo in 85. The short Quattros had a very poor handling, so I also think the 205t16, Delta S4 have been the better cars. The Ford was too havey, but in the two Championship Rallys which the Ford did, and were not pulled out of all producer Teams, they retired in leading position.
I'm glad to see these cars are still getting the shit beat out of them, its what they are built for no reason to cry its nothing but battle scars to a glorious machine
Hello sir. I am from the future. Ten years precisely. I am reaching you today to recommend that you stay where you are. Things aren't doing exactly well here.
Michèle Mouton is the 1982 WRC Runner-up (the only woman to achieve such a high championship ranking iirc, and in Group B era on top of that...) - she only lost the title to Walter Röhrl after crashing out of the Ivory Coast Rally while leading. She was a challenge to beat even for the other legends of her time-that's how good she was. In fact, she is a member of the Rally Hall of Fame and was awarded the Legion of Honour for her achievements in rallying. She has also been one of WRC's top managers since 2011. It sure is a shame that Michelle wrecked that Quattro here, but hey...even Loeb wrote his car off sometimes... the best still make mistakes sometimes... :)
Poor Michelle and poor S1 :( She must have been mortified. Wrong setup for suspension. Car looks so top heavy. Not a Tarmac setting at all. Stupid track too, with those horrible barriers just waiting to cripple an irreplaceable piece of motorsport history :(
@@Burning_. That's the worst reason ever. Oh noooo, VW made their cars perform better at the cost of emissions, ban the heretics and destroy the museums 🤦
That car is fucking scary. I don't know if I'd ever get in one, even if it was driven by her or Röhrl - or maybe especially not then, that friggin speed
@@andymb601 The Quattro was never intended to win tarmac rallies, the AWD system was outstanding in dirt tracks but had massive understeering on tarmac.
I love the Race of champions. Each driver having to step out of their comfort zone in cars they are not use to. I also like watching cars perform on a circuit they were never designed for. Watching a NASCAR being hustled around a lap of this track is great. This Audi on a ultra grippy tight track must have been out of its natural habitat too
Oh dear,it's never pleasant to see any accident,but especially when it involves two rally legends - Michelle and the S1 Quattro. Glad the driver is perfectly OK and the car will repair. Thanks for sharing the clip!
@@justindesrosiers3145 Yeah, but the way she hit the corner, she drifted in too early, and didn't correct it in time. It was mostly the car's fault, but not all.
One local rally in Finland in the 80s. My dad had an record for his home stage for an long time. Then someone came an beat it. Beat it by huge difference. That someone was none other than Michelle Mouton.
wauw this video is 11 years old and I see comments from 8 years ago! what fun it'd be to see what people were thinking back then! Edit: not much different compared to now
In her defense, this is a very tight short tarmac track. Basically a glorified go cart track. This car was made to go incredibly fast on a dirt and gravel road over bumps and through mud. Not 50kmph around a solid track, Michele being the women she is pushed it, and rolled it. And there is nothing wrong with that, no matter who you are, if you are a true race car driver be it rally or nascar you will fail and crash your car because you will never do better if you don't push a little bit harder every time.
Let's not forget, this car is completely out of its comfort zone here. Plus the Audi S1 Quattro was notorious for massive understeer. Its understeering nature, massive bodyroll due to improper suspension setup for this track, as well as the tight-turn tarmac nature of the track would make this very tricky to properly pull off.
Michelle Mouton didn't win the 1982 WRC (Group B) because of bad reliability.She also won the Pikes Peak in 1985 among a lot of other accolades. She can roll as many cars as she likes. She is a legend!
Glad to see the real culprit is being blamed; wrong suspension setup for this difficult tarmac course! Jacked up way too high, way too soft. Maybe she reckoned it would be easier to slide like that. Oh well. Michelle Mouton is still a legend, though.
I was expecting a couple of blokes to come along and push the thing back on it wheels and Michelle to power off in a cloud of smoke. Proper legends reunited.
Dude, you could see how hard it was to get that thing sideways because of the suspension and alignment. That was also waaaay too soft a setup for tarmac. Michelle is still a god damned legend!
Dumb question, after they rolled it back on the its wheels, if she wanted to, could she have jumped back in and resumed doing laps ? The car looks pretty fine, is there actual damage that we can’t see, maybe to the wheel alignement etc ?
Alot of weight transferred to the right hand side of the car around the bend and that raised lip inside the bend gave it just enough to help flip it...short wheel base too....that front offside tyre was doing alot of work...suspension did have alot of travel too...cmon it was tight as f€$I...what a beaut to watch ..it looks amazing ....if those difflocks are locked she was not suited to tarmac really but I guess this was an exhibition....hands down one of the most awesome cars ever built...Michelle Mouton 💪
As some of the Group B fanatics might notice, those wheels on the S1 ARE NOT the wheels used for Tarmac, not even the tire width is decent for Tarmac. Suspensions were obviously NOT set up properly too, as you can clearly see with all the corner wobbling.
She also did not have a co-driver, which makes the car more prone to roll on this side. It's only a 2400 lb car, so the weight of a person makes a significant impact on chassis dynamics.
I've seen boats in rough water roll less than the suspension of that Audi. I'm surprised the car wasn't on the roof sooner, with how well Michèle can toss it around.
Wie dumm von den Verantwortlichen den S1 auf einem engen spitzwinkligen Indoor Asphaltkurs, mit so einer extrem weichen Feder/Dämpfer Abstimmung und diesen Rädern antreten zu lassen! Das sowas passiert sieht man schon lange vorher! Das Auto "rollt" ohne Ende. So weich war kein S1 je offiziell unterwegs! Was haben die sich nur dabei gedacht ??!
Das hat Audi wohl verlernt...dieses Vorsprung durch Technik.... Ich suche es in den Fahrzeugen der letzten Jahre ebenfalls vergeblich. Audi sagt eh immer nur, das ist kein Fehler..dieses Klackern des Motors ist Stand der Technik :-)
It's not only poor suspension setup but she hooked her inside wheel on that curb that had a nasty edge to it. Almost any car would have gone over but the added body roll certainly didn't help.
this car was tuned and designed to drift across dirt, anyone who understands how car setups works will immediately understand why when you drive it on grippy tarmac it risks rolling over

Sucks that she had a soft rally (gravel) set up on her suspension ..
well its always sad to see a legend of a vehicle crash... but im glad a legend of a driver was the one to do it!
Happens to the best. Quattros are notoriously unstable and this doesn't take away from her absolute LEGEND status.
She’s an absolute madhouse!
A race car being raced, instead of collecting dust in a museum.

Only thing I can say is I wish the announcer would shut up so we can hear that beautiful sound from the beautiful car.

You don't just send someone out on jelly-car springs and expect the driver to do well, let alone while staying on both wheels.
