The Ligier JS11 was a ground-effect Formula One car designed by Gerard Ducarouge. It was powered by the Ford Cosworth DFV married to a Ligier in-house built gearbox, and it competed in the 1979 and 1980 World Championships, proving very competitive. Driven by Jacques Laffite, it won the first two races of the 1979 season, and Patrick Depailler won a further race in Spain; the team finished third behind Ferrari and Williams in the constructors' championship. The car was so efficient at producing downforce that its aluminium chassis flexed and lifted the skirts, a fault that hampered the team all season.
