About Guy Ligier
Guy Ligier, a French driver born in 1930, competed in Formula 1 in 1966 and 1967, making thirteen starts in his mid-thirties.
His first season was spent with a Cooper-Maserati, which brought no points. He continued with the same machinery into 1967, and his persistence was rewarded with a single championship point, enough to be classified 21st in that year's drivers' standings. His career record also notes an association with Brabham-Repco equipment during this period.
A point in the 1960s meant finishing among the top six in a Grand Prix, no small feat for a privateer runner in his late thirties racing against the works teams of the day.
His driving career at the top level closed after 1967, its statistical legacy a modest one point from thirteen starts across two seasons.
