4 After a remarkable career as a motorbike and racing car driver, Guy Ligier chose to become a manufacturer of racing cars. Five years in endurance, notably marked by a second place with the Ligier JS2 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1975, preceded a 20-year adventure in Formula 1. Between 1976 and 1996, Ligier won the title of World Vice Champion in 1980, fifty podiums and nine victories, including the one for Olivier Panis in the streets of Monaco. In 2004, Ligier made his comeback in endurance and the CN era began with the JS 49, JS 51 and JS 53 models. More than 40 years after its creation, the legendary brand is experiencing a revival through Onroak Automotive. This collaboration has already given birth to the Ligier JS P2 and JS P3, names chosen out of respect of the history of the brand: a way to feed the future of Onroak Automotive with the glorious sporting past of Ligier.

5 LIGIER & ONROAK AUTOMOTIVE Founded at the end of the 1960s by Guy Ligier, the eponymous brand of race cars is a reference in motorsport, in Endurance and Formula 1. More than forty years after its creation, the brand has begun a new page of its history that it is now writing with Onroak Automotive. Based at the strategic sites of Le Mans and Magny-Cours, Onroak Automotive, French manufacturer of race cars, is born from the joining of two passions of its president Jacques Nicolet: the passion of motorsport, especially the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the passion of entrepreneurship. Having had a success with the OAK Racing team, Jacques Nicolet decided to take advantage of the experience and knowledge of the technology and the competition to develop a genuine entity dedicated to the conception and production of sport-prototypes. Onroak Automotive offers a range of Ligier sport-prototypes CN, LM P3 and LM P2 that permit everyone to find the ideal model to integrate a category or climb up to the next rung of the endurance pyramid. Their sport-prototypes are entered in various endurance series around the world by many teams who benefit from an impressive active and personalised support service from the manufacturer.

7 START A CAREER WITH THE JS 53 EVO Equipped with a 2-litre HONDA engine that produces 255 bhp and a sequential SADEV six-speed gearbox, the Ligier JS 53 EVO 2 is now offering, since 2015, a kit to give a greater aerodynamic efficiency, which notably improves the speed in the corners and limits tyre degradation. A new electronic management system also improves the driving comfort. Due to its performance and security, a perfect balance and a real ease of driving, the Ligier JS 53 EVO 2 is ideal for young professional and gentlemen drivers in order to discover the specificity of sport-prototype endurance series. Its sales price depends on the series in which it is racing and starts at VAT. The Ligier JS 53 EVO 2 benefits from the experience of the JS 49, JS 51 and JS 53 models which have collected many successes over the years.

9 THE JS P2 BRINGS LIGIER BACK TO LE MANS The closed Ligier JS P2 sports prototype was conceived entirely in-house by the Onroak Automotive Design Office in 2013 and The three engines currently on offer, the Honda HPD, the Judd HK and the Nissan VK45, can all be installed in the car s engine bay. The Ligier JS P2 has been homologated for three years according to the current ACO-FIA regulations in force until Its sale price, without engine, agrees with the ACO-FIA cost-capped policy: VAT. The Ligier JS P2 started by taking pole position and a podium in the LM P2 category for its debut at Le Mans in June 2014 and confirmed its reliability and performance since with multiple podiums and the 2015 FIA WEC LM P2 Endurance Trophy title.

11 THE JS P3 JOINS THE LIGIER RANGE Already in the LM P2 category, with the JS P2, and in CN with the JS 53 EVO 2, Ligier is now adding to its range with the JS P3, a sport-prototype for the LM P3 category. The Ligier JS P3 fully benefits from its kinship with the Ligier JS P2, notably concerning the design and the aerodynamic characteristics which are inspired by the latter: a choice of efficiency. The Ligier JS P3 has been homologated in August 2015 for 4 years according to the current ACO regulations. Its sale price, with engine, agrees with the ACO cost-capped policy: VAT. Its conception follows the same philosophy as the other Onroak Automotive sport-prototypes, creating a product that is reliable, easy to use and competitive. The Ligier JS P3 s main assets are: Significant weight optimisation Ease of maintenance Ventilation & driving comfort Aerodynamics Habitability & safety of the cockpit

13 BODYWORK & AERODYNAMICS All technical regulations, as outlined by the ACO, have been complied with the Ligier JS P3 s design. BODYWORK The sport-prototype complies with the ACO regulations, following the latest aerodynamic development phase. AERODYNAMICS The Ligier JS P3 benefits from the work in collaboration with for the modelling and the study of fluid movements, Computational Fluid Dynamics, so as to reach an optimal configuration of the aerodynamic balance.

18 HABITABILITY & SAFETY The Design Office has paid special attention to the habitability, the comfort and the security of the Ligier JS P3: The cockpit can welcome small drivers (1.60m / 60kg) as well as larger drivers (1.95m / 110kg) in complete safety, thanks notably to adjustable pedals (3 available positions). Driver s comfort is optimised thanks to a wide driver shell and plenty of space, both around the chest and the legs. The driving position is identical to the one in the Ligier JS P2, relatively recumbent, which makes the longitudinal Gs easier to manage. What s more, with the monocoque equipped with passenger seatbelt fixations, it s possible to install a second seat in complete safety.

20 VENTILATION Due to the work done in collaboration with, the aerodynamic efficiency, in terms of air penetration and downforce, is completed by an optimisation of the air circulation at the heart of the cockpit: an asset for the comfort and safety of the driver. A dynamic entrance with a watertight conduit through the nose of the car allows for air circulation and distribution into the cockpit from below. A dynamic entrance at the base of the wind-screen sends air into a conduit intended to ventilate the cockpit while still respecting the temperature regulations imposed by the technical regulations. A second conduit is intended for the ventilation and the comfort of the driver, which offers the possibility to fix connecting tubes to the driver s special equipment. This technology allows for the direct flow of air towards the chest and the top of the head of the driver, for a better regulation of body temperature.

21 VENTILATION The first tube is for the flow of air towards the driver s helmet The second tube is for the flow of air towards the driver s overalls. The Research and Development team at has been working with Onroak Automotive Design Office so as to offer helmets and overalls that can be connected directly to the ventilation conduits.
