| Turkey / Istanbul
Well, Super Aguri have been banned from entering the circuit in Istanbul
and may never race again unless something drastic happens. The team was formed to allow Takuma Sato (very popular in Japan) to continue racing and was mainly funded by Honda. The Chief Exec in Honda Racing, Nick Fry, has made the case to ban Super Aguri from the Ottodrom and the race trucks, having been loaded in Triest and sailed for 3 days to reach Pendik in Turkey, are sitting on the approach road to the circuit and may have to stay there throughout the weekend. On a brighter note, the team and truckies will be having a nice time down town on a short holiday before they go back to the docks in Pendik and then they could be the first ones to be loaded back on the ship for the return though I know, from last year, they stumped up the money for a company called Billitz to load their trucks for them and then left the trucks at the docks, taxied to the airport and had a longer holiday on the Adriatic. It's a really hard life........... |
