Ligier is a French automotive manufacturer, founded in 1976 by Jean-Pierre Ligier. The company is known for its involvement in Formula One, having competed in the sport from 1976 to 1986, and again from 2010 to 2012. Ligier's Formula One team was notable for its innovative designs and the use of the "wing car" concept, which featured large wings to generate downforce and improve aerodynamics. The team's most successful period was in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with drivers such as Jacques Laffite and René Arnoux achieving podium finishes and championship points.

In addition to Formula One, Ligier has also been involved in other motorsports, including rallying and touring car racing. The company has also produced high-performance sports cars, such as the JS40 and JS45, which were designed for the Group B rallying era. Ligier's sports cars are known for their lightweight construction, powerful engines, and advanced suspension systems.

Ligier's involvement in Formula One has been marked by both success and controversy. The team's innovative designs and use of ground effect aerodynamics helped to push the boundaries of what was possible in the sport. However, the team's financial struggles and the changing regulations of Formula One have also led to its eventual withdrawal from the sport.

Despite its departure from Formula One, Ligier continues to be an active player in the automotive industry, with a focus on developing high-performance vehicles and motorsports technology. The company's legacy in Formula One and its contributions to motorsports continue to be recognized and celebrated by enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.
