Super Aguri: "See you in Melbourne!"
By Gunman February 29 2008
Since there are so many doubts about Super Aguri's participation this season, the team has confirmed that they will be at Melbourne. They also said that they canceled the last test because some parts didn't arrive in time. So we can stop worrying about whether we'll be at Australia or not.

Super Aguri's co-owner, Fumio Akita, also said some important words about the team's financial future:

"Talks are still going on and I'm told there are three potential investors. Obviously, we have to think of the future and what's best for the team. It might be 100 percent (of the team being sold). But obviously any sponsors or investors who leave the infrastructure there and back the team to improve results would be ideal. How much any potential stake in the team would be does depend on the conditions the investor has. But even if it's a 100 percent stake you can't sensibly get rid of the team per se. If you have no Aguri (Suzuki), you probably lose Honda as engine suppliers. If investors come in and say they can bring in BMW engines that's a different story. But even if we give up 100 percent share it doesn't necessarily mean the owner or the team name goes with it."

 Now, we'll just wait for Australia.

humm actually bmw did say they were ready to supply engines again. But would we really risk losing our Honda Partnership?

Well, let's be real. If Honda can't keep the team alive, they need someone else.

You think NASCAR is a gentleman's sport too?

Yes, it's time to look at things from another perspective. Honda ain't supporting Super Aguri anymore and it may indeed be better to look for support somewhere else.

Big thing to say that honda ain't supporting SA anymore. How much are SA paying honda for the engine's? Or for the chassis? or did they make that themselve? And ain't SA moving to the Honda HQ in Brackley?

All big question marks i guess
