Michèle
Mouton and Françoise Conconi with the Lancia Stratos, 1978
After the
inception of the World Rally Championship in 1973, the Coupe des Dames
continued to be awarded. There was a lull in female entries in the mid-1970s,
but by 1976, women drivers were once more a feature of the top ten. An official
Ladies’ Prize continued to be given until 2000. By then, rallying had become
almost completely professionalised and the number of female drivers entering
each year was very small. Part 1 Part 2
