Super Aguri F1 assets to be auctioned

The assets of the Super Aguri F1 team – which collapsed earlier this season due to chronic debts – are to be auctioned off at the end of the month.

The defunct Leafield-based outfit is currently in administration after its F1 dream died on 5 May [see separate story – click here], having competed in just 39 grands prix in the top flight since the beginning of the 2006 campaign.

It was confirmed over the weekend of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, by British commercial and industrial auctioneer SHM Smith Hodgkinson, that the assets will go under the hammer on 31 July, F1SA reports.

The small Japanese Honda satellite is presently being administered by PKF.

Interested bidders will be able to view the lots, including cars and transporters, at Leafield late in July.

Over the course of its two-and-a-half year history in the uppermost echelon, Takuma Sato, Anthony Davidson, Franck Montagny, Sakon Yamamoto and Yuji Ide all raced for Super Aguri.

Located on the north-east side of Abu Dhabi’s mainland, Yas Island is 2,500 hectares or 25 square kilometres. Prior to 2007, Yas Island had no amenities or facilities – including roads, electricity or water supply. Conveniently located, Yas Island is 20 minutes from the centre of Abu Dhabi, ten minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport and 50 minutes from Dubai [pic credit: Yas Marina Circuit]

By May 2008, work on the main grandstand is underway. More than 6,000 spectators are entertained in the main grandstand opposite the pit building and garages. For many fans, this is the heart of the action, where the team pit garages and pit-stops take place, the location of the start/finish line as well as the victory podium [pic credit: Yas Marina Circuit]
By November 2008, substantial progress continues on the main grandstand, pit buildings and the Yas Hotel, with Yas Marina clearly defined. The pit buildings contain 40 independent garages, each 140 square metres, fully air-conditioned with an air-wall at exit onto pit-lane. The pit building houses the team’s two race cars, all spare parts, engineering equipment and the computer data storage and analysis equipment. Between 75 and 100 people will work in each respective team’s garage [pic credit: Yas Marina Circuit]
