Nathalie Richard - five-time CARS champion co-driver and teammate of Antoine L’Estage in the Rockstar Energy Drink Mitsubishi Lancer - took some time out of her busy schedule to talk with CARS about her very successful rally career and why she loves rally:
You’re one of the most successful co-drivers in the history of the sport in North America, having competed with two multiple-time champions on both sides of the border. How does it feel to be at the top of the sport?
It feels great to be where I am in this sport! I love what I do and I'm privileged to be able to do it at this level.
