In 2002, a 25-year-old Japanese racing driver named Takuma Sato made his debut in Formula 1. Backed by Honda his entire junior career, he spent one year at Honda customer team Jordan and then moved over to their main team, BAR. Honda bought out BAR completely in 2005 but decided not to retain Sato in the team for 2006. However, public pressure from the adoring Japanese fans led to an all-Japanese team being formed to keep him on the grid. This is the story of Super Aguri.
