For a third consecutive year as lead partner of the event, Richard Mille accompanied the 18th Rallye des Princesses. This women-only rally brings together 90 crews from 12 different countries, who come to cover around close to 1,600 kilometres along the most beautiful roads in France.
The sun shone brightly on May 28th 2017 as the rally’s 180 female competitors set off from Place Vendôme in Paris, headed for the iconic Place des Lices in Saint-Tropez. Five days later, Moorea Beach in Ramatuelle hosted the prize-giving ceremony, a well-earned reward for the winners of this demanding and well-paced event that took place in optimal weather conditions.
In the Historic category, everything came down to the very last kilometres of the race, as is often the case. Although the Ferrari 328 GTS #89 crewed by Nadia Moreau and Valérie Dot had held onto the lead from day one, an irreparable navigation error allowed the Porsche 911 #81 crewed by Véronique Castelain and Stéphanie Wante to claim the victory, after four days waiting for just such an opportunity. In the Classic category, reserved for more recent vehicles, the top spot went to Marion Lohio and Sabine Cybulski, aboard PGO Seven, who unsurprisingly won the rally after indisputably dominating the entire race.
Five Porsche 356 cars and one Porsche 911 were made available to clients and friends of Richard Mille in order to discover this event – which has become de rigueur for ladies who love automobiles – each of whom wore a watch from the Richard Mille ladies’ collection for the race.
It is also worth mentioning that this year, the Rallye des Princesses Richard Mille once again supported the "Parti des enfants", a collective bringing together some twenty associations dedicated to children suffering from illness, and that three crews took part in the competition under the association’s banner.
