The fascinating history of Arrows Stables
Arrows Grand Prix International was founded in 1978 by former Formula 1 driver Jackie Oliver to create his own team.

This British team quickly established itself as one of the most respected independent teams in the paddock.
Arrows' history is marked by a philosophy of performance and constant technical innovation. From its inception, the team distinguished itself with elegant chassis designs and original technical solutions. Renowned designer Tony Southgate brings his expertise to the creation of competitive single-seaters that rival the major manufacturers.
Over the decades, Arrows has raced through different eras of Formula 1, adapting to regulatory and technical developments. The team enjoyed its heyday in the 1980s and 1990s , with remarkable performances and talented drivers such as Eddie Cheever, Derek Warwick, and Heinz-Harald Frentzen.
The brand is distinguished by its ability to uncover talent and provide opportunities for promising young drivers. This training and development philosophy has made Arrows a respected player in the Formula 1 world, even though the team has never won a Grand Prix.
A stable at the heart of British automotive culture
Arrows' history is steeped in the great tradition of British motorsport . Based in Milton Keynes, the team embodies the spirit of innovation and excellence that characterizes the English automotive industry. Its workshops quickly became a hub for engineers and technicians passionate about motor racing.
A notable event in Arrows' history remains its technical rivalry with the Shadow team, which gave rise to one of Formula 1's most famous legal cases. In 1978, Shadow accused Arrows of copying the designs for its single-seater, leading to a sensational trial that forced Arrows to design a new car in record time. This ordeal revealed the determination and ingenuity of the British team.
The Arrows team has also made history through its innovative partnerships and collaborations with various engine manufacturers, illustrating the adaptability of independent teams in the face of automotive giants.
