Part-1(Super Aguri F1)
Part-1(Super Aguri F1)
The Super Aguri F1 Team, can be called an all Japanese Team. With team Boss and “Aguri Suzuki” was the first Japanese Driver to taste the Podium with a well driven 3rd place way back in 1990. Finishing his career as a little after, he pursued his dream to have his team and thus the Super Aguri team was born Powered by a Honda engine, Nippon being one of the prime sponsors, and developers of the team. Its no surprise that when they say “Born in Japan” and “the Japanese Dream”.
In 2006 the team mainly used the Honda RA806E 2.4 litre V8 engine. With maximum power of over 700 bhp, over 18,500 rpm. The Chassis- Carbon fiber honeycomb construction, the team was not kidding. However as the team budget is lower than most they were not able to perform as well as most fans wold have expect. They are one one the teams using the Bridgestone tyres. Overall not an Impressive first season, but there is more to come.
The team Drivers in 2006 were-
1)Takuma Sato- Japan, who raced with B.A.R Honda in 2005.
3)Frank Montagny- French, the only non Japanese driver. Test driver for Renault since 2003. and has loads of racing experience for earlier years in French F3 and F3000 etc...
4)yuji Ide-Japan, fist year of F1, a little bit of racing experience with the Japan F3 and carting.
Earlier this month the Team announced the line up for the 2007 season with Anthony Davidson from Honda joining Takuma Sato who remains their no.1 driver.
The 2007 line more promise, looking back at the 2006 season the Team finished with no points along with MF1 Toyota and STR-Cosworth who had 1 point to their credit. The Teams best finish was 10th in Brazil, Takuma Sato finishing the season well for the team and himself. The team went home having learn't a lot from the season and with that they will prepare for the 2007. It is still to be seen if the “Japanese Dream” will be realized in Super Aguri.
