Ligier
Founded by former rugby international Guy Ligier, the French team competed in Formula 1 from 1976 to 1996, becoming a popular fixture on the grid. Known for their distinctive blue livery and a fiercely independent spirit, Ligier achieved 9 Grand Prix victories, often with French drivers, and secured 50 podium finishes. Despite never winning a championship, their occasional flashes of brilliance, particularly in the late 1970s and mid-1990s, endeared them to fans. The team participated in 611 races, leaving a memorable legacy as a plucky privateer in an increasingly manufacturer-dominated era.
