Launch of new car delayed by Super Aguri

Printer friendly version

Super Aguri has delayed the launch of its new car while they talk with potential investors.

The 2008 car was due to be launched on February 19th at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya, but this has been changed to a media event with company founder Aguri Suzuki and technical director Mark Preston.

Cash-strapped Super Aguri, which is the smallest team in F1, have been talking to a number of potential investors, including India's Spice Group, but a deal is yet to be reached.

The Honda-backed team has said they hope to continue with their current driver lineup - Britain's Anthony Davidson and Takuma Sato from Japan.

Super Aguri finished in ninth place in the constructors' championship last year but have not yet confirmed they will enter the 2008 season, which starts in just over one month's time on March 16th.

The team are used to last-minute moves, however, only unveiling their 2007 car on the eve of the opening race. End of story
