Введение
Британская команда по автогонкам Arena International Motorsport была британской командой по автоспорту, основанной Майком Эрлом. Изначально Эрл руководил командой Формулы-1 Onyx с той же базы в Литтлхэмптоне, прежде чем продать её. В конце 2012 года новые владельцы команды, Capsicum Racing Limited, инициировали процедуру CVA (соглашения с кредиторами) для компании. Эрл также основал 3001 International и Grand Prix Design, которые впоследствии трансформировались в Arena International Motorsport. Команда впервые приняла участие в гонках в британском чемпионате туринговых автомобилей в 1999 году, где выступала на протяжении многих лет, прежде чем в 2007 году перейти в серию Ле-Мана в качестве заводской команды Zytek. Они вернулись в BTCC, управляя командой Team Aon, а затем перешли в чемпионат мира по туринговым автомобилям в сезоне 2012 года.
British motor racing team
Arena International Motorsport was a British motor racing team founded by Mike Earle. Earle originally ran the Onyx Formula One team from the same base in Littlehampton, before selling the team. At the end of 2012 the team's new owners, Capsicum Racing Limited, placed the company into CVA. Earle also created 3001 International and Grand Prix Design, which later morphed into Arena International Motorsport. The team made their racing debut in the British Touring Car Championship in 1999, where they ran for many years before moving to become a factory supported Zytek sports car team in the Le Mans Series in 2007. They returned to the BTCC running the Team Aon operation, until switching to the World Touring Car Championship for the 2012 season.
Renault Laguna (1999) - это нечто вроде
В первом сезоне команда использовала Renault Laguna предыдущего года для Рассела Спенса, которого позже заменил Уилл Хой. После этого команда покинула серию.
Arena's first season saw the team running a year old Renault Laguna for Russell Spence, who was later replaced by Will Hoy. The team then disappeared from the series.
Хонда и команда Хонда (20012005)
В 2001 году Arena обратилась к Honda с предложением выставить Civic на старт на независимой основе. Однако Honda предпочла оказать команде полную заводскую поддержку в сезоне 2002 года, с Аланом Моррисоном и Энди Приаулксом за рулем. Команда добилась некоторого первоначального успеха, а в 2003 году новичок Мэтт Нил финишировал третьим в чемпионате, что стало лучшим годом для Arena в BTCC – шесть побед и второе место в зачете Команд и Производителей. Однако Honda решила сократить поддержку, оставив Arena с одной машиной для Тома Чилтона в 2004 году, с которой удалось одержать две победы. В 2005 году поддержка Honda была прекращена полностью, но, несмотря на пропуск стартового и заключительного этапов сезона, Чилтон выиграл четыре гонки, после чего команда приняла решение продать свой Civic команде Fast Tec Motorsport, хотя Arena и оказывала некоторую помощь в настройке машины. После этого Arena перешла к работе в качестве команды, специализирующейся на спортивных автомобилях.
In 2001 Arena approached Honda about running a Civic on an independent basis. However, Honda chose to give the team full manufacturer backing for the 2002 season, with Alan Morrison and Andy Priaulx driving. There was some initial success, and in 2003 newcomer Matt Neal finished third in the standings for them, in what was Arena's best year in the BTCC with six wins and finishing second in the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships. However Honda chose to reduce their support, leaving Arena running a single car for Tom Chilton in 2004 and claim two wins. Honda's support was gone altogether in 2005 but despite missing the opening and closing meetings of the year Chilton went on to take four wins in the campaign before they decided to sell off their Civic to Fast Tec Motorsport, although Arena provided some assistance with setting up the car. Arena then moved on to a full time sports car team.
Команда Aon Ford Focus (20092011)
25 ноября 2008 года Arena Motorsport объявила о выступлении в сезоне 2009 года с двумя автомобилями Ford Focus ST. Ведущим пилотом команды был Том Чилтон, а также вернулся Алан Моррисон, выступавший под эгидой Team Aon (Aon Corporation – их основной спонсор). Моррисон покинул команду в течение сезона, и в отдельных этапах его заменил Том Онслоу Коул. В начале сезона команда испытывала трудности с автомобилем, но к концу года добилась хороших результатов. На 2010 год автомобили будут использовать топливо LPG от Calor, а Чилтон и Онслоу Коул продолжат выступать в качестве пилотов. Это привело к значительному увеличению производительности. Команда выиграла 7 гонок, заняла 4-е и 5-е места в личном зачете чемпионата и 2-е место в командном зачете. Результаты Британского чемпионата кузовных гонок (British Touring Car Championship)
On 25 November 2008, Arena Motorsport announced it would be running a pair of Ford Focus STs for the 2009 season. The team's lead driver was Tom Chilton along with Alan Morrison also returning, running under the Team Aon banner (Aon Corporation being their primary sponsor). Morrison left the team during the season and was replaced in certain rounds by Tom Onslow Cole. The team struggled with the car at the beginning of the season, but were on the pace at the end of the year. For 2010, the cars will run under LPG power from Calor, with Chilton and Onslow Cole continuing as drivers. They saw a massive leap in performance. Winning 7 races & securing 4th & 5th in the drivers championship & 2nd in the teams championship. British Touring Car Championship results Year Car Drivers Wins Poles Fast laps Points D. C. T.

WTCC
В 2012 году команда перешла в чемпионат мира по турингу, где за нее выступали Том Чилтон и Джеймс Нэш. Сезон оказался неудачным, поскольку на протяжении большей его части автомобиль испытывал проблемы с темпом. Этот сезон стал для команды последним, так как в последние недели 2012 года команда была официально расформирована.
The team switched to the World Touring Car Championship for 2012, with Tom Chilton and James Nash driving. The season was unsuccessful, with the car struggling for pace during the majority of the season. This season would turn out to be the team's last, as during the final weeks of 2012, the team was formally closed.
Гонки на спортивных автомобилях
В 2001 году Arena выступала с Audi R8 под брендом Gulf в Европейской серии Ле-Мана и на гонке в Ле-Мане за команду Johansson Racing. Пилоты Стефан Йоханссон, Патрик Лемарье и Том Коронель не добились успеха в Ле-Мане, но команда выиграла чемпионат Европейской серии Ле-Мана в том же году. В 2003 году Arena решила участвовать в гонках на спортивных автомобилях и была выбрана для представления Audi Sport UK. Команда использовала Audi R8 на 12 часах Себринга и 24 часах Ле-Мана. Экипаж в составе Мики Сало, Джонни Кейна и Перри Маккарти смог занять шестое место на Себринге, но удача команды в Ле-Мане оказалась под угрозой, так как Фрэнк Биела по ошибке пропустил пит-стоп и закончило топливо в начале гонки. В 2004 году Arena первоначально планировала выставить частный прототип Dome в Ле-Мане, но этот план не был реализован, и заявка была отозвана. Вторая попытка в 2005 году с новым Zytek также не состоялась. Наконец, в 2007 году Arena смогла приобрести Zytek 07S, планируя участвовать в полном сезоне Le Mans Series в качестве заводской команды в LMP1 с Томом Чилтоном и Хаянары Шимодой. Усилия Arena в 2007 году столкнулись с механическими проблемами в начале сезона, и команда испытывала трудности с завершением гонок из-за поломок тросового привода дроссельной заслонки. Команде также пришлось сняться с Ле-Мана после серьезной аварии во время тестов, которая повредила автомобиль настолько сильно, что ремонт не мог быть завершен за две недели до гонки. Однако Arena смогла финишировать восьмой на Нюрбургринге, заработав первые очки сезона.
In 2001, Arena ran the Gulf branded Audi R8 in the European Le Mans Series and at Le Mans for Johansson Racing. The drivers Stefan Johansson, Patrick Lemarié and Tom Coronel were unsuccessful at Le Mans but the team did win the European Le Mans Series championship that year. In 2003, Arena chose to enter sports car racing, being chosen to represent Audi Sport UK. The team would run an Audi R8 at the 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans. A driving team of Mika Salo, Jonny Kane, and Perry McCarthy were able to take sixth place at Sebring, but the team's fortune at Le Mans turned sour as Frank Biela mistakenly missed his pit stop and ran out of fuel early in the race. For 2004, Arena initially planned to run a privateer Dome prototype at Le Mans, but the plan did not come together and their entry was withdrawn. A second attempt in 2005 with a new Zytek also did not occur. Finally, in 2007, Arena was able to purchase a Zytek 07S, with plans to enter the full Le Mans Series season as the factory squad in LMP1 with Tom Chilton and Hayanari Shimoda. Arena's 2007 effort would suffer mechanical setbacks early, with the team struggling to finish races due to throttle cable linkage failures. The team was also forced to withdraw from Le Mans when a heavy accident during testing damage the car so badly that repairs could not be completed in the two weeks prior to the race. Arena was however able to finish in eighth place at the Nürburgring, earning them their first points of the season. Le Mans Series results Year Class Car Drivers Wins Poles Fast laps Points T.

In 2001, Arena ran the Gulf branded Audi R8 in the European Le Mans Series and at Le Mans for Johansson Racing. The drivers Stefan Johansson, Patrick Lemarié and Tom Coronel were unsuccessful at Le Mans but the team did win the European Le Mans Series championship that year. In 2003, Arena chose to enter sports car racing, being chosen to represent Audi Sport UK. The team would run an Audi R8 at the 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans. A driving team of Mika Salo, Jonny Kane, and Perry McCarthy were able to take sixth place at Sebring, but the team's fortune at Le Mans turned sour as Frank Biela mistakenly missed his pit stop and ran out of fuel early in the race. For 2004, Arena initially planned to run a privateer Dome prototype at Le Mans, but the plan did not come together and their entry was withdrawn. A second attempt in 2005 with a new Zytek also did not occur. Finally, in 2007, Arena was able to purchase a Zytek 07S, with plans to enter the full Le Mans Series season as the factory squad in LMP1 with Tom Chilton and Hayanari Shimoda. Arena's 2007 effort would suffer mechanical setbacks early, with the team struggling to finish races due to throttle cable linkage failures. The team was also forced to withdraw from Le Mans when a heavy accident during testing damage the car so badly that repairs could not be completed in the two weeks prior to the race. Arena was however able to finish in eighth place at the Nürburgring, earning them their first points of the season. Le Mans Series results Year Class Car Drivers Wins Poles Fast laps Points T.
