Is the car you mean (JS49) a Ligier Sport Car?
Or it is the Formula 3 the did some years ago? |

If you mean the sport car, then i have seen it some times in the paddock and it is not an aluminium honeycomb based chassis. It is an aluminium space frame with square tubing and panels with rivets and glue. I don't know if there are more versions and i have seen only one of them.

Humm...so that means there is no LMP3 (group CN) car currently with an al honeycomb monocoque chassis!
ss_collins if you do find the pics send them over to me. You prob have my e-mail from the Lola T95/70 pics I sent you |

Actually the Ligier JS49 is the old version, the new version (JS51) could well be having a honeycomb monocoque.
The latest Juno's have a full honeycomb chassis. They are one of the most advanced and succesful LMP3 cars currently available. |

I've a couple of the Ligiers in my workshop (I run them in the Speed race series).
Drop me a line if you'd like to know anything specific. |
