Super Aguri F1
Formula One team / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Super Aguri F1 was a Formula One racing team that competed from 2006 to 2008. The team was founded by former F1 driver Aguri Suzuki. They were based in Tokyo, Japan. They operated from the former Arrows factory in Leafield, UK. The cars were called Super Aguri-Honda because they used Honda engines. The team was, to some degree, an unofficial Honda second-team. In Japan, public pressure convinced Honda to help its former driver Takuma Sato to continue in Formula One. This lead to the start of Super Aguri F1, and the engine supply from Honda. The team competed two full years, and part of the third year. After four races in the 2008 season, the team withdrew due to financial problems.
