Rest In Peace, French racing driver, and car constructor, Guy Ligier. Ligier was a driver, team owner, and constructor. He was a Formula One team owner, but also ran successful teams in sports cars. He ran the 24 Hours of Le Mans eight times as a driver, with a best finish of seventh overall, driving a Porsche 904 for private entrant Auguste Veillet. The car carried #34, and Ligier shared the car with fellow Frenchman, Robert Buchet.
Ligier drove Ford GT40's, Ferrari's and cars of his own design. His last listed race start, (though he never drove the car), was in his own Ligier JS2 with power supplied by a 3.0 liter Maserati normally aspirated V6 motor. The car finished eighth overall in the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans, with fellow Frenchmen Jacques Laffite, and Alain Serpaggi, driving.
