Super Aguri happy to keep surprising.

Super Aguri are looking forward to the next F1 test in their schedule as they continue to cause surprises with their sudden upturn in pace, the team only using an interim version of the car that struggled throughout the 2006 season.

The perennial back markers of the season due to the their rushed conception and a car that could trace its chassis back to 2003, Super Aguri have turned heads with their speed in winter testing ahead of the launch of the controversial SA07, which is expected to be a lightly reworked version of last year's Honda.

Indeed, with Anthony Davidson in particular pacing with Renault and their new R27 throughout the week at Jerez, sporting director Graham Taylor cannot wait for the team to get back on track at Valencia and test their mettle against what will be a more comprehensive line-up of rivals.

"We have had a very satisfying test this week with the car displaying impressive reliability. Taku had a good day today, picking up from where Anthony left off, helping with the development of the control systems and furthering our understanding of the Bridgestone Potenza tyre. The team is already looking forward to our next test in Valencia in two weeks."

Davidson too has been thrilled with the performance of the car this week, particularly the reliability from the Honda engine they will use in 2007

"It was a very successful test for us in Jerez. On the two days that I drove we managed to improve our traction control and continue learning about the new Bridgestone Potenza tyres. We made further progress on the balance of the car and the Honda engine was reliable once again, so we were able to cover 259 laps over the two days."
