[#Ligier50years – Story #36] End of the 1985 season: after a spectacular ride off the track at the Austria GP, De Cesaris is dismissed: too many crashes! It was the rookie Philippe Streiff who replaced him. We had to wait for the last GP in Australia for another podium. With the 2️⃣ Ligiers, Laffite/Streiff, behind Keke Rosberg on an intouchable Williams. 💬 « Apparently, Streiff was planning on stealing the 2nd place from me, told Laffite. In our box, no one told him otherwise. He came back to his senses after bumping into me 2 laps from the finish. It’s a miracle we saved our two spots on the podium. But didn’t Philippe made 1,5 lap on 3 wheels? It was madness!”. Ligier finished the season 6️⃣ in the Championship.

[#ligier50years - Story #35] With Laffite’s return in 1985, the team’s spirits were up again. Gérard Larrousse, the Technical Director set his conditions. Laffite said 🎤 “He told me what he expected from me: that I regularly attend the briefings, be serious, refrain from heckling in hard times. It’s true that what I like less about life is: routine, habits, boredom. I like fantasy and joy! But why would this prevent me from doing things seriously?” Laffite made his point: he marked 1 point at the very first GP and clinched 2 podiums in a row at the start of the season at Silverstone and at the Nürburgring despite a heavy and difficult to set-up Ligier JS25 with its V6 Renault turbo engine.

[#Ligier50years – Story #34] In 1983, a real storm arrived at Ligier: Laffite left for Williams after 7 seasons, 6 victories and 20 podiums and the Talbot-Matra-Ligier blew up. 🥺 Anger and sadness for the “boss”. The new Jean-Pierre Jarier 🇫🇷 / Raul Boesel 🇧🇷 tandem on the Ligier JS21 with its old V8 Cosworth engine didn’t manage to mark any point. In 1984, despite the arrival of the Renault turbo engine (at last!) the new François Hesnault 🇫🇷 / Andrea De Cesaris 🇮🇹 duo only gained 3 points with the Ligier JS23. But hope was reborn with the announced comebacks of Laffite and ex-Renault Gérard Larrousse & Michel Têtu. Will these hopes come true❓ 🤔

Great start for the Ligier JS2 R first @24hseries race. The @nordschleiferacing #526 and its drivers are putting up a faultless performance on the Catalan track. Guillaume Roman set the tone first and fought his way up through the GT field. 👊 His teammates kept the pace and after 7️⃣ hours the Ligier JS2 R is 2️⃣1️⃣th overall (out of 46 cars entered). There’s still plenty time to go until the chequered flag, but the Ligier JS2 R 24-hour race debuts are very promising.

[#Ligier50years – Story #33] A strange-looking grille on Laffite’s Ligier JS1️⃣7️⃣ at the 1982 Detroit GP! It was damaged during a contact with his ex-team-mate, Pironi. Laffite still managed to finish 6th. Cheever on #25 clinched the team’s best result of the season by finishing 2nd. The Talbot-Matra duo was falling behind and the promised turbo engine will never be provided. The Talbot-Matra-Ligier had to settle for only 4 podiums this season.
