Before his Formula One stint, Alliot raced in Formula Renault during 1976 and 1977, clinching the championship title in 1978 with the BP Racing team. His success in the French Formula Renault championship led him to French Formula Three, where he debuted with a third-place finish. He advanced to the European Formula 3 Championship in 1980 and then to Formula Two by 1983. His career high came when he finished third at the Le Mans 24 Hours in a Kremer Porsche, driving alongside Michael and Mario Andretti.

Alliot’s Formula 1 career started in 1984 with the Skoal Bandit RAM F1 team. He had limited success until 1986, when he replaced the injured Jacques Laffite at Ligier during the 1986 British Grand Prix. He switched to Larrousse in 1987, returned to Ligier in 1990, and developed a reputation for frequent crashes.

In 1993, Alliot returned to Larrousse and secured a career-best fifth place at the 1993 San Marino Grand Prix. The next year, he served as a test driver for McLaren, thanks to the Peugeot connection, and briefly raced, replacing Mika Häkkinen at the 1994 Hungarian Grand Prix. He also replaced Olivier Beretta at Larrousse for the 1994 Belgian Grand Prix, which marked his final Formula One race after retiring due to engine failure.

In retirement after the 1995 season, Alliot ventured into politics, television commentary, ice racing, and the Paris–Dakar Rally, eventually running his own GT racing team.
