Rumeau
Sarah Rumeau’s journey into sports began at a young age in handball, where she reached a national level before shifting her focus to rallying in 2021 in the French Championship. In her debut season, she clinched the title of French Women’s Champion alongside co-driver Julie Amblard. The duo continued their success in 2022, finishing as runners-up in the Two-Wheel Drive French Championship and securing the Michelin Trophy. In 2023, Sarah and Julie engaged in a dual programme featuring the ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup in Europe and select races in the French Dirt Championship. Their achievements included a fourth-place finish in the European championship, claiming the top spot among female competitors, and winning the final rally in the French Gravel Championship in the Two-Wheel Drive category.

In 2024, Sarah and Julie made history by becoming the first all-female team in 35 years to finish in the top five of the French Rally Championship.
Building on their success, the duo has announced an ambitious programme for 2025. They will continue competing in the French Rally Championships. Notably, they will also participate in seven rounds of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), marking the first time an all-female team has done so since the legendary Michèle Mouton.
To support their 2025 endeavours, Sarah and Julie will collaborate with Sarrazin Motorsport and receive backing from Citroën Racing, driving a C3 Rally2.
