Former Formula 1 team Super Aguri will make a return on the international motorsport scene by running a team in the new, electric Formula E championship next year.
Super Aguri Formula E is headquartered in Tokyo and is overseen by Japanese racing driver and team owner Aguri Suzuki.
It becomes the second Asian team (after China) to enter the new Formula E series.
The Super Aguri name is best known for its association in Formula 1 where Super Aguri F1 competed in the sport from 2006 until 2008. The expertise and knowledge gained in F1 will now be applied to creating eco-conscious technological solutions which can be used in major urban cities such as Tokyo.
Super Aguri Formula E was founded in 2013 by four partners: Aguri Suzuki (Executive Chairman), Mark Preston (Team Principal), Peter McCool (Technical Director) and Ferry Spijkerman (Commercial Director).
“Today is a new chapter for the Super Aguri name and I'm proud that our team will represent Japan in the inaugural Formula E series. Zero emissions racing is a progressive concept for the motorsport industry, and after more than 40 years as both a driver and team owner, I see Formula E as a great stride towards the future,” said Aguri Suzuki.
