Palmetto
On 3rd April 2024, ARROW announced they had been purchased by an American consortium group owned by Palmetto, with the McNair Group spearheading the acquisition.
The consortium invested significantly into the future of ARROW, enhancing the team's infrastructure, technical capabilities, and overall competitiveness.
Speaking about the acquisition, representatives from both ARROW and the consortium expressed optimism about the future of the team. "We are thrilled to embark on this new journey with the support of The McNair Group and Palmetto," remarked Ben Farrell, the ARROW Team Principal and CEO. "This partnership represents a landmark moment for ARROW, and we are confident that it will enable us to compete at the highest level and achieve our long-term objectives."
Similarly, representatives from The McNair Group highlighted the strategic significance of the acquisition. "We see tremendous potential in ARROW and believe that our collective expertise and resources will drive the team towards sustained success", stated Cal McNair. "The relocation of ARROW's headquarters to the United States underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and excellence within motorsport."
As part of the transition, ARROW will begin the process of relocating its headquarters to a yet-to-be-disclosed location in the United States over the next year. This move is expected to facilitate closer collaboration with key partners and stakeholders while tapping into the vibrant motorsport ecosystem in the United States.
From the 2024 season onwards, the team name was updated to McNair ARROW Motorsport to reflect the change in ownership.
