Former French race car driver Guy Ligier (L)
Paris - Arab Today
Guy Ligier, who founded his own Formula One team which featured in the world championship for 20 years, died on Sunday at the age of 85, French media reported.
Born on July 12, 1930, at Vichy, Ligier drove in 12 Grands Prix before creating his own team in 1976.
In his colours, Olivier Panis famously won the Monaco Grand Prix in 1996 which proved to be the team's last season.
Ligier raced in 326 Grands Prix between 1976 and 1996, recording nine victories, nine pole positions and 50 podiums.
The team was then sold to former world champion Alain Prost who rebadged Ligier as Prost GP.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
