High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ligier JS11 was a successful ground effect car designed by Gerard Ducarouge. It was powered by the Ford Cosworth DFV married to a Ligier in-house built gearbox. It competed in the 1979 and 1980 world championships and proved to be very competitive. Driven by Jacques Laffite, the car won the first two races of the 1979 season and scored consistently. It was thought by many to be a championship winner until Ferrari introduced its 312T4 chassis. Even so, the Ligiers stayed in contention throughout the season, with Patrick Depailler winning a further race in Spain. The team eventually finished third behind Ferrari and Williams in the constructors' championship. Depailler was injured halfway through the season in a hang-gliding accident and was replaced by Jacky Ickx, but he struggled to keep pace with the car and his team mate and left at the end of the season, having scored only a handful of points.
