Super Aguri’s future could be saved by a last-minute offer by German automotive company Weigl Group, autosport.com reports.

Aguri is in deep financial need after a takeover deal by the Magma Group fell through. The team is believed to risk absence from the upcoming Turkish Grand Prix if a new investor cannot be found.

According to the report, the Weigl deal could be a “filler” of circa $12m to allow Super Aguri
to see out the season and give the squad time to find a suitable long-term partner. Team co-owner Aguri Suzuki is also headed for Japan this week to try and secure extra backing from engine partners Honda.

“The meeting with Honda is a key point to the future of our team,” Suzuki told autosport.com. "Now, we don't have any development of the car and this is very serious. Anyway, we try to find some solutions to help us continue."
