Motorsport

Juhola has been participating throughout various racing series over the past few decades, with varying success. It is currently a major supplier for Valkean motorsports such as the VSCC, Valkean Open Wheel Series, Formula 3, and Formula Juhola. It also runs a driver development program called the Juhola Drivers Academy to train future Valkean drivers for motorsport.

It is one of few Astyrian Manufacturers to operate a works team at the Astyrian Endurance Championship, and has enjoyed much success. It has clenched the manufacturers' title for the AEC Prototype A class in 2016, 2018, and 2019 with the Juhola EP240 Hybrid.

The company tried participating in Astyrian Formula One as a constructor and engine supplier from 2007 to 2015; but despite having the largest budget in F1 up to that point, as well as some seasoned drivers in its roster, it has failed to win a single grand prix.
