Super Aguri to test in late February

27/01/2006

A Super Aguri spokeswoman has confirmed to Pitpass that the team will test in the "latter part of February", probably at Barcelona, which hosts a four-day test from February 21.

The spokeswoman said that at least one of the team's drivers will be announced "soon" with the second probably revealed at the test.

She added, we are now "concentrating on getting the cars to Bahrain, locking down drivers and finalising commercial agreements".

The Japanese team will initially run the 2002 Arrows, which it purchased from former Minardi owner, Paul Stoddart, before introducing its own car.

The Super Aguri will use the Honda V8, however, the team was unable to confirm which engine the Arrows will use.

Furthermore, it is widely speculated that the Japanese team will use Bridgestone rubber, though this also has not been confirmed.
