Great news indeed!
Last year with lots of testing both drivers qualified mid grid for Melbourne (11th & 12th) I doubt that'll be achievable with so little winter testing...but last year Ant's car went into Anti-stall mode and got away last, then got squashed by Sutil as he was passing! So hopefully Mr Sutil will remember to use his mirrors this year?

More information about Magma here: http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns20066.html
The link has already been posted in the other Super Aguri thread. They sound like good people to have on board.

Good news all round then. 
Shame the car will be pants, but they are there at least and that is all that matters.

I can't find any confirmation anywhere, but I believe it's a 'B' spec of the RA107. Poor things

Well, I don't feel sorry for them in that regard. They only have themselves to blame for not designing their own. Why on earth are they not carrying on with some kind of developed version of the car they used last year anyway?

Good news. But why didn't Honda help Super Aguri a bit more?
