Alpine is celebrating the pioneering women race drivers that form part of its 70-year history with a display at the Goodwood Revival meeting on 12-14 September.
Alongside three cars showcasing Alpine’s rally and race heritage, the French company will also highlight the contribution to its success by women drivers such as Michèle Mouton (pictured), Marianne Hoepfner, Marie-Claude Beaumont, and Lella Lombardi.
Present day Alpine drivers Nina Gademan and Sukhmani Khera will be at Goodwood Revival to meet visitors.
Michèle Mouton began her international rally career at the wheel of an Alpine A110, as did Marianne Hoepfner. Beaumont and Lombardi both went on to race at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Nicola Burnside, brand director of Alpine UK, said: ‘At Goodwood Revival, we’re proud to celebrate 70 years of motorsport DNA with three cars that embody our journey: from the A110 that conquered the rally stages, to the A441 C at Le Mans, and now the A390, which takes that spirit into the future.
‘The Revival is also a great opportunity to celebrate some of the drivers who made history in our cars, particularly the female pioneers from Michèle Mouton to today’s F1 Academy stars, who are an integral part of our story.’
