Arrows A20

The Arrows A20 was the car with which the Arrows team competed in the 1999 World Championship, driven by the Spanish debutant Pedro de la Rosa, who brought sponsorship from Repsol, and by Toranosuke Takagi of Japan. The team was short of funds after Danka's sponsorship ended, so the chassis was only a mild update of the A19 and Mike Coughlan had to develop it after John Barnard left. Brian Hart again supplied the in-house engines before leaving after an ownership dispute with Tom Walkinshaw. Early in the year Malik Ado-Ibrahim bought 25 percent of the team and his T-Minus brand appeared on the cars, and Morgan Grenfell took a controlling stake. The cars were slow and unreliable.
