Michel Tétu (born 6 August 1941)[1] is a French engineer, designer of various racing cars including Formula One single-seaters.
Career[edit]
Tétu graduated from the Higher School of Aeronautical Techniques and Automobile Construction (ESTACA).
After five years with Charles Deutsch at CD, the first car designed by Michel Tétu at Ligier in 1969 was the Ligier JS1. Then he designed the Ligier JS2, a sports coupé built in small series, and the JS3 tray.
In 1972, he joined Alfa Romeo's Autodelta structure. He worked, among others, on the Alfa Romeo 33 sports prototype, champions in 1975.
In 1976, Tétu returned to France to Renault in Dieppe, then in 1978 to the Renault Sport Formula 1 team. He designed the RS10 which, driven by French drivers Jean-Pierre Jabouille and René Arnoux, was the first Formula 1 single-seater with a turbocharged engine to win a Grand Prix. It was followed by other Renault F1 cars (RE20 to RE50) until 1984.
In 1985, Tétu returned to Ligier. Following the failure of his car in 1988, he left Ligier for the French team Larrousse, until his death at the end of 1994. His third collaboration with Ligier saw him work on the license-free carts designed and marketed by the brand.
