Autobacs Racing Team Aguri (ARTA) is a joint racing project formed between former F1 driver Aguri Suzuki and Autobacs in 1997. The team's original name was "ARTA F1 Project," but due to trademark claims based on the usage of the word "F1", the name has since been shortened to "ARTA". ARTA was the 2007 Super GT GT500 series champion in both the drivers' and team championship.

In addition to competing in racing competitions such as Formula Nippon and Super GT, the team also holds its youth kart racing competition, the "ARTA Challenge," to find the next generation of competitive race drivers.

Toshihiro Kaneishi, a driver who received support from ARTA, won the German Formula Three Championship in 2001.

As of 2007, the team competed in, or offered support to other drivers who competed in the following categories:

Formula Nippon
Super GT
Indy Racing League
All-Japan Formula Three Championship
Formula Challenge Japan
Karting World Championship
The team maintained a close relationship with Aguri Suzuki's F1 team, Super Aguri F1, before they were forced to withdraw from Formula One in 2008. ARTA is currently the largest racing team in Japan.
