Arden International

Arden International is an international Formula 3000/GP2 Series team, created by Christian Horner.

Initially created to raise up Horner's career, and then reliant on sponsorship from Viktor Maslov, the team began to get good results and was the best team of Formula 3000 in its last years, showing new talents to motorsport world like Darren Manning, Tomáš Enge, Björn Wirdheim and Vitantonio Liuzzi.

The team won two titles (2003, with Wirdheim and 2004, with Liuzzi), has scored 334 points, won 15 races and achieved 20 pole positions in Formula 3000.

In 2005, Arden stayed in the series, now rebranded as the GP2 Series and achieved second place in the Constructors' Championship with Heikki Kovalainen and Nicolas Lapierre, and second place in the Drivers' Championship with Kovalainen.

In 2006, Arden competed in GP2 with Lapierre and the rookie Michael Ammermüller (Neel Jani acted as a substitute for Lapierre when the latter was injured in the race at Monaco). This year, Arden suffered a massive drop, and had only 57 points to show, compared to the previous season's 126.

For 2007, Arden have signed Bruno Senna, nephew of triple F1 champion Ayrton Senna, and A1 Team South Africa driver Adrian Zaugg.

For 2008, the team was renamed Trust Team Arden, after its Dutch title sponsor Trust. Swiss driver and Red Bull talent Sebastien Buemi and Dutchman Yelmer Buurman are confirmed as its race line-up.

Arden also operated A1 Team Great Britain in the first season of the A1GP series.
