Super Aguri to sue main backer

(GMM) Super Aguri has decided to sue its continuing main sponsor SS United after the Hong Kong-based oil and gas company failed to pay its bills.

The company's logos still feature on the Japanese team's cars in Turkey this weekend, but it has emerged that Leafield based Super Aguri commenced legal proceedings during the recent summer break after two due installments were not paid.

The situation has left the struggling team desperate for replacement backers, after halting development of the SA07 car and scaling back other programs, including testing.
