Damon Hill tests Ligier JS41 at Suzuka - November 14th, 1996.

hill should've done a year with prost instead of arrows.

we saw how fast panis was in 97.

they would have been a great team for prost 97,. the best prost car.

[blainyrules]

@WeLWets Or taken an offer from McLaren, they actually got back to winning races in '97.

@blainyrules

Hill was in talks with McLaren?

If so, i didn't knew that.

[blainyrules]

@WeLWets And Jordan

I hate it when people talk english and then there is a voiceover on another language

[Michaelingolfhansen]

@NOXXism

Agree....

Especially French people should learn to talk - or at least understand - English like the rest of the world!

When I see 10-12 year old poor kids in central Africa being interviewed on TV speaking PERFECT English, I just get disgusted thinking about the French attitude!

I’m not saying my English is perfect but at least I can understand it!

@NOXXism

so, everbody have to speak and understand english? Bullshit. Especially, when i watch a vid on a site or channel of my native country i want to have it in my native language. Of course, there should be a language all people can understand, but therefore i maynot to hear this language all the time ;-), so be tolerant. When you want to hear the vid in english, look after the english version ;-)

[NOXXism]

@schroeder1112 Well english is the universal english, and my country doesn't speak it however I think everyone should understand it otherwise we couldn't communicate with other people in far away places

[schroeder1112]

@NOXXism

Well dude, i know what you mean, in business it´s important to speak english or when you are in foreign countrys, but onTv or other media in your native country, there should be native language^^, it´s my opinion, but of course one language for the whole world is important. By the way, im german but - i think - my english is not so bad ;-)

@schroeder1112 I agree with you I'm Mexican .

[ZettiBavaria]

Wow, a really rare one. I can remember that they had to use this car because Hills feet were too large for the 1996 Arrows chassis.

[ashacrasha]

Been looking for footage of this for years! and a bit of a shame really, one less beautiful Ligier to look at after that...I wonder how many people in the 1995 Ligier team thought their car was going to be crashed at Suzuka in 1997 :P

[Ferrariman601]

Pretty cool looking car actually!

I'd love one in my garage!!!!

[9k479]

For Brigestone tyres?

[philfire1987]

@9k479 the first season for Bridgestone in 1997 

[dave41184]

Rare footage , like it :)

[bentleyv8t]

Why is he testing a JS41 when it was used in 1995?

[MaxMSC97]

@bentleyv8t

He's testing not the car itself, but the Brigestone tires, on which he's gonna perform in 1997 for Arrows.

[blainyrules]

@bentleyv8t Because Tom Walkinshaw part-owned Ligier in 1995

[MegaMrDamo]

@bentleyv8t Yeah like when they used the 2009 Toyota for the 2011 Pirellis
