Sato shakes down the SA05 HondaSuper Aguri made its testing debut on Tuesday, as Takuma Sato - the newly confirmed lead driver at the team - rolled out a modified Arrows A23 car in England.
At the Cotswold Aviation Centre at Kemble in Cirencester, the Japanese driver steered the Honda-powered car - renamed `SA05` and painted stark white - around the airfield, ahead of the team`s real test debut at Barcelona next week.
Also this week, it is reported that the Leafield-based team - run by former Grand Prix driver Aguri Suzuki - will sign Bernie Ecclestone`s 2008 Concorde agreement, thus leaving just five teams still not agreeing to the terms set out by Bernie Ecclestone.
Although expected, the news is significant, as Super Aguri is heavily supported by Honda, the Japanese carmaker that is still lingering among the GPMA ranks.
