At the beginning Gordini had close ties with Simca whose founder Henri Pigozzi shared Italian origins with Amédée Gordini.

Gordini competed in Formula One from 1950 to 1956.

Later Gordini worked with Renault as an engine tuner and finally sold his firm to Renault which entered Renault-Gordini cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1962 until 1969.
