Mireille Virginie Allain (born April 3, 1987 in La Barre, France) is a French race car driver competing in the European Late Model Challenge.
She drives the No. 9 Carrefour Gasnier for Autosport Capretz.
European Late Model Challenge[edit | edit source]
Allain's debut in the ELMC came at the Warneton 120, held at the Warneton Speedway in Belgium. Allain qualified in the top 10 for each of the first two races, and ran well enough to notch top-five finishes in each as well. The second race saw Allain collect her first podium with a third-place run.
Success continued to come in for Allain, as she scored two more top-five runs in the first of back-to-back weekends at Rockingham Speedway. In the second of those weekends she scored a pair of second-place runs, moving her to third in the overall points standings after nine events.
Her skill has been noticed by teams in higher series, as FIAM Engineering has put her on its short list of potential candidates for one of its Dash Cup entries, and signed her to a contract after the round at Zandvoort.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Prefers to give her post-race interviews in French only, as she says her English "isn't that great", but with her moving on to Dash Cup in 2015, she has said that the time is right for her to brush up on it.
- Allain's hometown of La Barre, France, is the same as Captain Jean-Luc Picard's in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
- Allain's name is taken from the French-language instructional series French in Action, where actress Valérie Allain played the female lead, a college student named Mireille.
