The team was founded in November 1977 by Italian businessman Franco Ambrosio, former drivers Alan Rees and Jackie Oliver, Dave Wass and Tony Southgate. The team name is based on the first letters of their last names.
Arrows was a British Formula One team, which competed in the championship between 1978 and 2002. From 1991 to 1996, the team competed under the name Footwork.
The first car was a copy of fellow Formula 1 team Shadow. Initially, the company of co-founder Ambrosio was supposed to be on the car as a sponsor, but after it was arrested for fraud, the team attracted Warsteiner as the main sponsor.
After the French Grand Prix in 2002, the Cosworth engines could no longer be paid for and Arrows disappeared for the rest of the season. Due to a lack of funds, the team struggled to survive and despite external investment and the purchase of parts from Prost Grand Prix, the FIA refused Arrows' application for registration for the year 2003, causing the team to disappear from Formula 1. The car, the intellectual property rights and the factory were taken over by Minardi, who used the car as a concept for their car for the next season.
