Team Aon has been created through a commercial partnership between Aon and Arena International Motorsport.

Headquartered in Chicago, Aon is the leading global provider of risk management services, insurance and reinsurance brokerage, as well as human capital consulting.

Mike Earle’s Littlehampton based Arena International Motorsport, has a long history of success in touring cars. Earle is one of the most respected figures in the industry, having created the Onyx Formula 1 Team in the late 1980’s, which scored points and finished on the podium in its first season in Formula 1.

The team changed its name to Arena in 1991 to run in that year’s British Touring Car Championship. Since then, the team has also had experience in World Sportscars, Le Mans, (winning the 2001 European Le Mans Series), ALMS, Formula 3 and of course several successful seasons in the BTCC.

Throughout its history Arena’s core business has remained the same, providing a one-stop solution for manufacturers and entrants. From design, construction and racing to delivering a wide range of motorsport applications, working with some of the world’s greatest industry names.

Team Aon have taken on a new challenge for the 2012 season as they compete in the World Touring Car Championship. Taking to the world stage for the first time the team have entered two Arena built and run 1.6 llitre turbo charged Ford Focus cars with drivers Tom Chilton and James Nash.
