Super Aguri Formula 1

Super Aguri F1 is a Formula One team that made its debut in the 2006 season. The team, founded by former F1 driver Aguri Suzuki, is based in Tokyo, Japan but operates from the former Arrows factory in Leafield, UK. The cars are referred to as Super Aguri Hondas, with the team functioning to some degree as an unofficial Honda 'B'-team. In Japan, public pressure persuaded Honda to help its former driver Takuma Sato to continue to compete in Formula One. This was influential in the creation of Super Aguri's F1 project and the engine supply from Honda.

Linked from http://www.formula1.com/race/news/6090/773.html --- Ferrari won the Spanish Grand Prix, but Super Aguri had the biggest cause for celebration in Barcelona on Sunday, as Takuma Sato finished eighth to score the fledgling team’s first ever championship point. After an excellent qualifying performance put him 13th on the grid, Sato drove a solid race, gradually moving up the order before taking advantage of an unexpected third stop for Renault’s Giancarlo Fisichella. He successfully fended off the Italian in the closing stages, crossing the line just 1.2 seconds ahead. “I was fighting with Giancarlo, but I could not see him ahead of me and my race ...

Super Aguri assets to be auctioned

From: blogs.topredline.com

In the fast-paced world of Formula One, teams come and go. Only most of the time, they’re just changing names and management (in fact, Ferrari and Williams are the only teams still on the grid that were founded under the same name and same ownership as they remain today). So Jordan Grand Prix, for a most vivid example, became Midland F1 Racing in 2006, then Spyker in 2007 before its metamorphosis into Force India for 2008. Super Aguri was another story. Founded by former racing driver Aguri Suzuki, the team was the first in years to actually put up the bond necessary to start ... Read Full Story

Due to Timo Glock's cracked vertebrae as a result of his horror crash at Suzuka, we got to see rookie Kamui Kobayashi take his place for the final two Grand Prix of the season. At Brazil he finished a promising ninth position, after defending from a rampaging Button for several laps. For pretty much everyone, this was our first experience of his rather aggressive driving style—one rather reminiscent of a certain Takuma Sato. Unlike Sato...
