Ligier European Series

Classes

The Ligier European Series is divided into two classes: JS P4 and JS2 R. The JS P4, built in 2017, is the sports prototype car of the championship, designed as a step between the Group CN and LMP3 categories. The car made its debut in the 2018 British LMP3 Cup and features a carbon fibre composite monocoque and body, as well as LMP3-based brake discs and calipers. Specifications: engine displacement Ford Duratec 3.7 L, gearbox 6-speed paddle shift sequential semi-automatic gearbox, weight 920 kg, power output 385 hp, aspiration naturally-aspirated, length 4680 mm, width 1900 mm, wheelbase 2860 mm, tyres Michelin. The JS2 R, released for track use in 2018, Ligier's 50th anniversary year, makes up the Grand Touring class of the series. Intended as a revival of the classic Ligier JS2, the car is a mid-engined, 2-door coupé borrowing several design cues from its predecessor. Specifications: engine displacement Ford Duratec 3.7 L, gearbox 6-speed paddle shift sequential manual gearbox, weight 1055 kg, power output 350 hp, aspiration naturally-aspirated, length 4415 mm, width 1900 mm, wheelbase 2680 mm, tyres Michelin. Both vehicles share the same 3.7-litre, naturally-aspirated Ford Duratec V6 engine coupled with Michelin tyres and a 6-speed Quaife sequential transmission, semi-automatic in the case of the JS P4 and manual for the JS2 R. Upgrade kits for both cars were introduced in 2022.
