Germaine Rouault

On the social side of motorsport events, she spent time in the company of her fellow racing drivers and compatriots, including the dancer and "Bugatti Queen" Hellé Nice (1900–1984), Anne-Cécile Rose-Itier (1890–1980) and Yvonne Simon (1917–1992).

She also had success on circuits: she finished seventh in the 1935 Grand Prix de la Marne[2] and in the same position again in a Delahaye 135CS at the 1937 3 Hours of Marseille.

[3] Her greatest success in sports car racing was third place overall in the 1938 12 Hours of Paris at the Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry with Anne-Cécile Rose-Itier in a Delahaye 135CS Coupé.

[4] Other partners included Gilberte Thirion in the Rally of Morocco and Régine Gordine, with whom she drove in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the 1952 Tour de France Automobile.

In 1935, with Jacques Delorme, Anne-Cécile Itier and Hellé Nice, she founded the U.S.A. (Union sportive automobile), as association of independent drivers, and served as the organization's secretary general.
