Andrew Evans started Team Scandia by recruiting some of the most talented drivers in the motor sports industry. His earliest recruits included well known names such as Michele Alboreto, Eliseo Salazar, Fermin Velez, and Eric van de Poele. Evans was able to attract these well known racers because he had built an impressive reputation as a driver and an entrepreneur. Reaching the point where he could attract such talented individuals, however, took years of hard work.

Obtaining this dream showed that Andrew Evans had the desire and motivation to follow through with his plans. Soon, though, he wanted a new goal that would occupy his mind and skills. He decided to use his growing reputation in the racing industry to start his own team. In 1994, Team Scandia was born.

Andrew Evans and Team Scandia’s Success
Team Scandia had some early successes that helped them unite as a cohesive group. Their first major success, though, was the 1995 12 Hours of Sebring event. This was an event that Evans very much wanted to win. The odds, however, did not seem in Team Scandia’s favor. They’d never won an endurance competition before and they were driving Ferrari's (Evans has driven Ferrari’s throughout his professional career, but no one had won Sebring in a Ferrari vehicle since the 1970s). Despite these challenges, Andrew Evans led Team Scandia to victory.

1996 was another amazing year for Team Scandia. They dominated the competition at the ’96 Indy 500 by fielding seven cars. In 1997 the team won the event at Sebring again.

Later that same here, Team Scandia failed to win in Indy, but they took the checkered flag at other events, including an IRL race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
