After having achieved success with the OAK Racing team crowned by a double in LM P2 in the Le Mans 24 Hours and the FIA WEC in 2013, Jacques Nicolet continued the adventure in motor sport by founding Ligier Automotive, a company dedicated to the construction of racing cars.
After the Ligier JS1, JS2 and JS3, the first three models of the brand, the Ligier adventure continued for 21 seasons on the Formula 1 circuits. Twenty-seven models were designed by Guy Ligier's men, from the Ligier JS5 in 1976 to the Ligier JS43, victorious at the Monaco Grand Prix in 1996. Since the acquisition of the brand in 2014, eight models of racing cars have been launched in the CN, sports-prototype, single-seater and GT categories.
