Team John Village Automotive (commonly known as Team JVA) is a UK-based motor racing squad established in 1980 by ex-Formula Ford titleholder John Village. The team operates out of Chesterfield, England.
History
Starting as a garage and race preparation outfit, JVA took part in Formula Ford throughout the 1980s, achieving notable success including Victor López Ferraz's Spanish championship victory and Vincenzo Sospiri's triumph at the 1988 Formula Ford Festival.
During the 1990s, the team transitioned to Formula Vauxhall Lotus, where Kelvin Burt secured the 1991 championship and Oliver Gavin was runner-up in 1992. Additionally, Tim Mullen captured the Formula Vauxhall Junior crown in 1996 for the team.
Since 1999, Team JVA has been active in Italian Formula 3000/Euro Formula 3000, initially partnering with outfits such as Edenbridge Racing, Arden Team Russia, and B&C Competition before competing solo from 2002 onward. In 2005, they entered the rival Pro Series, which later evolved into the International Formula Master championship.
Beginning with the 2005–06 campaign, Team JVA collaborated with A1 Team Canada within the A1 Grand Prix competition.
