High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Gerard Ducarouge (born 23 October 1941) is a French former Formula One car designer. Like many designers, his background was based in aeronautical engineering. He qualified at college with Bacalaureat Technique et Mathematique and won his Degre Superieur after studying at the Ecole National Technique d’Aeronautique. After leaving college he joined Nord Aviation in 1964 where he worked on various missile projects. However, he became restless and applied for a job as a technician at Matra racing in December 1965. This was shortly after the creation of Matra-Sports and Gerard started work on their Formula 3 programme, and from 1966 he also began improving their Formula 2 cars. Ducarouge steadily rose within the organisation to Head of Operations where he masterminded Matra’s hat- trick of Le Mans wins from 1972-1974 and oversaw their two constructor World Championship wins of 1973-1974. At the end of 1974 Matra pulled out of racing. Ducarouge resigned shortly after to begin work at the new Formula 1 team founded by Guy Ligier at Vichy, close to Gerard’s home town of Paray-le- Monial.
