History
Early years
VAR International was formed by brothers Victor and Arthur Roche, businessmen from France in the United Kingdom.
2019-2020
They traveled to South Africa in mid-2019 and formed Team AVA Racing to race in Africa Racing League. A few months later, they secured funding from an American businessman Michael Harrison (CEO of Harrison Finance). They agree to split the ownership and the shares. Each brother will have 40% of the shares and Harrison will have 20% of the shares. Their collaboration resulted in them forming 2 more teams, VA Racing and IVA Motorsports to race in European Le Mans and Indy Pro Mazda respectively.
Also in 2020, VAR International expand their market. Not long after forming 3 teams, VAR International's Victor and Arthur Roche form racing schools that are based in France, USA, and England.
