Valkea Airlines Juhola F1 Team was a Valkean Formula One team owned by Juhola, based in Våren Livet, Valkea. Juhola announced their entry into the sport in 2004 - at the time, one of the biggest announcements in Astyrian F1's history - and entered their first car, the JH-001, in the 2007 season. In the seven seasons it entered, Juhola was unable to win a single Grand Prix. It announced its withdrawal from Formula One in 2015, and the team was sold to Sevir, who renamed the team as Sevir F1 Team.
Juhola's participation in Formula One has been criticized for disorganized management structure and corporate interference.
History
Origins
Juhola began participating in motorsport in the 1960s as a way to market their cars internationally. They have had success in various racing disciplines, most notably in rallying and in touring car racing. They won three Astyrian Rally Championship drivers' titles and three constructors' titles from 1991 to 1993. They also won two drivers' titles and two constructors' titles in the Valkean Touring Car Championship in 1996 and 1997. They also ventured into sports car racing in 1998, but failed to win that year's Astyrian Endurance Championship.
