CART
Founded in 1993 by Barry Green and Gerry Forsythe as Forsythe Green Racing, they fielded two Atlantic cars for Claude Bourbonnais and Jacques Villeneuve. In 1994 Barry Green and Gerry Forsythe split up and Barry renamed the team Team Green, with his brother Kim Green joining as team manager, and competing in the 1994 CART IndyCar World Series as a single car team for Jacques, eventually winning both the Indianapolis 500 and the CART PPG IndyCar World Series Cup in 1995. In 1996, Team Green became known as the Brahma Sports Team for a season, with driver Raul Boesel. In 1997, KOOL cigarettes took over as a major sponsor with Parker Johnstone, and the team was renamed Team KOOL Green, before expanding to a two-car effort in 1998 with Paul Tracy and rising youngster Dario Franchitti. The two stayed on as teammates for five seasons.
In 2001, Michael Andretti joined the team in a separate effort headed by Kim Green, known as Team Motorola specifically to compete at Indy after both of their 5 year absences since 1995. Andretti won his last race as a driver at the 2002 Long Beach Grand Prix. In 2002, the team switched from Reynard to Lola chassis, producing a striking new livery to coincide with the change.
