Schlesser was a French race car driver, who competed in every level of

and road courses. He was killed at the French Grand Prix when he lost
control of his Honda in the rain, crashed into an earth bank and burst
into flames. After his death, his friend and business partner Guy
Ligier designated all of his Ligier Formula 1 cars "JS" in his
honor.
