European was a brand of Formula One engines. European sponsored Minardi in the 2001 season and acted as the engine supplier to the team. The engines were Ford-built engines, branded as European.[1]
European Aviation was a regular sponsor across Formula One and Formula 3000 during the late 1990s and early 2000s, initially with the Tyrrell team, and later with Jordan Grand Prix and Arrows Grand Prix.[2][3][4]
In 2001, European Aviation owner Paul Stoddart acquired the Minardi team. It became known as European Minardi, and ran with European branding on the cars alongside the engines being branded as "European".[5][6]
