Michèle Mouton | 40 Years After Her Historic Pikes Peak Victory — An Audi Club Exclusive Interview

In this episode of All-Wheel Driven, Audi Club North America takes you behind the scenes of the 103rd running of the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, presented by Gran Turismo. This year, Audi’s legacy was on full display with nine Audis climbing the mountain—alongside a moment four decades in the making.

We had the distinct honor of sitting down with motorsport legend Michèle Mouton, 40 years after her historic 1985 victory that made her the first and only woman to be crowned “King of the Mountain.”

Our conversation comes just after her induction into the 2025 Pikes Peak Hall of Fame, where she reflects on that groundbreaking achievement and her lasting impact on the sport.

Join us for an exclusive look at Michèle’s monumental career, her perspective on racing and breaking the glass ceiling, and what this milestone return to Pikes Peak means to her today.
