Designed and built in the 2000s by Ligier Advanced Technologies (formerly Mygale) for BMW, the Formula BMW was a single-seater developed to train the next generation of motorsport talent. Used in multiple championships around the world—including Europe, Asia, and the United States—it earned a reputation for reliability, safety, and strong performance, helping launch the careers of future champions like Sebastian Vettel, Nico Rosberg, and Daniel Riccardo.
