Weigl Group in last-minute Super Aguri bid

April 29, 2008

Autosport.com is reporting that German automotive company Weigl Group is poised to make a last-minute bid to try and save Super Aguri from collapse, as the team face a critical few days to try and secure their future.

With Super Aguri’s deal with the Magma Group and Dubai International Capital (DIC) having collapsed recently, and little chance of them putting together a fresh offer, Aguri have been working hard on finding alternative investors.

Sources have told autosport.com that Weigl chief Franz Josef Weigl was at last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix for talks with Super Aguri.

It is believed that he has been offered a deal to get involved in the outfit as long as he is willing to bankroll the team for the rest of the season, a figure believed to be around £6.5 million.
