15th
I'm lead to believe that the 15th is the day that all entries must be in for the following season in F1. Will SuperAguri make it. I personally don't think so

They put their entry in on the 26th of October, so you may be wrong.

Is it binding that they must take part if the application is approved? I cannot remember.

That's right, I remember reading that now.
That seems like a reasonable financial risk for them to take, so I don't think it is a necessarily certain that they will be on the grid. |

Not so reasonable if the 12m comes from your pocket... You could fund several GP2 teams for that.

I am meaning this in terms of Honda's pocket.

Isn't the team principal (Aguri Suzuki) responsible for this, or is the effort funded entirely by Honda?

In legal terms I am sure it is Aguri, but what I mean is I am assuming Honda must be giving some degree of support.
I am making an assumption, of course. |

It seems very difficult to see SA in next season's races. If this is good or bad I really don't know...

It would be bad if he didn't get a team together. F1 really needs a new team, rather than buyouts of old ones.

If they don't make it next year, then they will for sure in 2007.

I wish Aguri makes it, new blood is good for F1.

Consdiering that they have filed an entry, this thread may be slightly redundant. We're still wiating on the FIA officially confirming it though. Once that's done, the team basically have 4 months to get their cars together.

I just read (on autosport.com) Midland have ditched Dallara in favour of building their own chassis.
Is this an opportunity for Super Mario, err I mean Aguri to actually get a unique design at short notice? or what. |

No.
The change of plan from Midland happened months ago - and Dallara are still working with them on their chassis. |

Was the Dallara designed for a Toyota engine though?
