Ik it's not the 23rd yet but i can't wait any longer so i posted it. BECAUSE I FREAKING LOVE THIS WOMAN YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND 😭😭

⚠️ART PROCESS YAP AHEAD⚠️

I was too lazy to draw the other arm so i hid it behind the Audi Quattro A2 (circa. 1982) and decided IT'S STYLIZED PAINTING TIME! I was slapping around colors randomly and i had the very brilliant idea of using the colors of the french flag, aka where she's from, on the vines/flowers.

Michèle Mouton is imo the real IT girl of the 80's, a true icon for taming the 500hp group B rally cars and the wild crowds, not only that but also being a runner up in the championship in 1982, inspiring thousands of women to get into the male-dominated field of motorsports and proving that women can be just as quick and challenging as men. To this day nobody has ever matched her record in pikes peak.

Moreover, she has played a huge part in increasing the safety of motorsports, preventing many fatalities as the current FIA safety delegate (tho she'll be retiring by the end of 2024 and I'm super sad i may not get a chance to meet her)

Un peu tôt mais Joyeux 72ème anniversaire Michèle Mouton et grand merci pour vos efforts qui ont rendu les sports automobiles mieux sécurisés et encore plus excitants, toujours une legende! 🫶🏼
