Finally Super Aguri launch Car
Super Aguri launched their 2007 formula one challenger the SA07 on Wednesday. This was done after the Super Aguri car had failed many of the new stringent formula one safety tests and they had been unable to launch the car on earlier scheduled dates due to the same reason.The car is a modified version of the 2006 Honda F1 car and hence drew flak about legality under the concorde agreement between formula one teams.
Super Aguri drivers Anthony Davidson and Takuma Sato looked all set to race in their new challenger and looked fairly confident despite the fact that they have done almost zero quality testing in their new car.
Super Aguri also found last minute sponsors in Speakerbus and SS Oil.
