Super Aguri articles: All parts available!
Hi guys!
I'm pleased to announce Part 1 of my Super Aguri retrospective/profile. This is a three-part series detailing the history of the team, and the first part covers the team's birth and 2006 season.

Hopefully you enjoy it! (although if it's rubbish, do feel free to say...)

Well worth the wait, Taxi. Great job! Looking forward to whatever future projects you have in store for us, and of course the remainder of the tales of Super Aguri.

Re: Now available: Super Aguri (Part 1)
I've waited for a profile or story on Super Aguri ever since I first found f1rejects back in 2013, and I'm quite impressed with the article written about it.
Can't wait to see the rest of the story!

Re: Now available: Super Aguri (Part 1)
Thanks for the kind words, guys. The following two articles should *hopefully* be a little more interesting; 2006 was just setting the scene for things to come.
Part Two should be up next week, so keep your eyes peeled!

Re: Now available: Super Aguri (Part 1)
Yeah, agree with the others, really great stuff. Lovely to see hard work and research pay off. Looking forward to the other two!
As an aside, I have a bunch of saved Super Aguri pics, including a couple more of when they went testing with the A23. Probably too late now but if you want them just give me a shout.

Re: Now available: Super Aguri (Part 1)
Thanks for reading, those who did! It's been a week, so it's time for Part Two. This looks into Super Aguri's 2007, and discusses their heroics in that season before the tables turned somewhat.

Really good article one slight nitpick Davidson had 3 race starts before 2007 not just the two Minardi drives. He replaced the Unwell Sato at Malaysia in 2005

Re: Now available: Super Aguri (Part 2!)
You should be taken out and shot for the awful punny title.
The article is good, as pointed out Davidson did do a race for BAR Honda, where he qualified 15th, 4.2 seconds behind Fernando Alonso, effectively 2 seconds behind team mate Button who qualified in 9th and in a Sauber sandwich, with Massa in front who was a few thousands faster and in front of Jacques Villeneuve who was just over a second behind. If you ignored the Jordans who were 5 to 6 seconds slower and the Minardis who were 9 to 11 seconds slower, he was quite off the pace. He has a poor start and was overtaken by Villeneuve and both the Jordans, before he passed them again at the first turn. Button had got as high as 6th, however It was all for nought as he retired with engine trouble 2 laps from the start, in sympathy to Button who had engine trouble less then 30 seconds before hand.,

Re: Now available: Super Aguri (Part 2!)
Thanks though, guys. Error amended, and no regrets with the titles. Just wait until part three.

Re: Now available: Super Aguri (Part 2!)
Hello guys,
The last piece is available for your viewing pleasure/disdain (delete as applicable): http://gprejects.com/centrale/teams/sup ... xecutioner
I hope you enjoy it, and I hope the collective pieces have been up to scratch. Thanks for all the support so far!
Aha, see, I wrote the article(s) a while ago and chopped them up into three pieces so that I could space them out a little.

Re: Super Aguri articles: All parts available!
Nice articles! I've always wanted an article about Super Aguri but the old site never made one, and I really love the punny titles.

Re: Super Aguri articles: All parts available!
Really nice. I particularly liked the epilogue. Did you see that chat Motor Sport Magazine did with Ross Brawn and Nick Fry? Discussion turned at one point to how the Brawn car came together and who was responsible for stuff like the double diffuser and whether Super Aguri were involved. I can't remember what exactly was said but they definitely got a mention!

Cheers, matey! I haven't seen it, although I'll probably have a look now just to make sure there's no untruths in the piece...

Re: Super Aguri articles: All parts available!
I think that Nick Fry and Ross Brawn interview with Motor Sport magazine also featured on a recent podcast of theirs (i'm assuming it's the same interview, I have only heard the podcast, not read the magazine, but that discussion featured there too).

Yeah, it wasn't in the magazine (at least, that's not where I saw it). There was a video of the chat, which I assume was identical to the podcast here: http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/history/f1/ross-brawn-and-nick-fry-brawn-gps-championship

Re: Super Aguri articles: All parts available!
Loving the articles I've already read through them twice now (because I'm such a nerd xP ), I hope you create articles for the terribly short history of HRT next.

I'd like to do something about HRT, but I've got a few other things in the pipeline first.
