Team Aguri

[2] 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.It was announced on 27 June 2014 that the first female driver to drive in Formula E would be Katherine Legge from Great Britain.

It was announced that Takuma Sato would fill in for the team at the first round in Beijing, due to Félix da Costa having previous commitments in the DTM series.

He has great knowledge of how to race on street circuits, which will also be an important attribute for us.On 24 June 2015 ahead of the London ePrix, Team Principal Mark Preston confirmed that team would continue to use the McLaren powertrain from the inaugural Formula E season in the 2015–16 season, to focus development on other areas of the car.

In doing so they became the first team to take this approach, in the hope that the older powertrains would provide greater reliability than their rivals while exploring other areas where performance gains could be made, such as software.

[7] At the time of its purchase, the team was in talks with Renault e.Dams to secure a customer powertrain supply for the upcoming season.
