Since announcing a licensing deal with Japan’s most successful Formula One™ driver in March of this year, sales of the Takuma Sato Limited Edition Playseat continue to grow following strong demand for the product since launch.

Branded and available in white or black, the limited edition product is exclusive to the Japanese market and will be available to customers outside the region via online sales later in the year.

On track, Sato is pursuing immediate opportunities to secure his future in Formula One after the Super Aguri Formula One Team withdrew from the Formula One World Championship™ due to financial difficulties.
In a statement from Takuma Sato, the Japanese star commented: “I will be looking at my options with my manager and will make an announcement once it is appropriate. However, I have no intention to retire from F1. I feel I am driving at the top of my game and want to give so much more to my fans and supporters in Japan and worldwide who have been so incredibly supportive to me during my whole career.”

The Takuma Sato Playseat, exclusively marketed in Japan and on-line, is available through sites including www.playseats.co.jp and www.takumasato.com.

A1 Team GBR: 3rd in championship season finale

A1 Team GBR, sponsored by Playseats, ended the third season of A1GP on a high as Robbie Kerr drove to victory in front of his home crowd at Brands Hatch on 4th May. The win was GBR’s second of the season and fifth victory in three years of A1GP.

Kerr followed his Sprint race win with a second-place finish in the afternoon’s Feature race, the brilliant double podium elevating GBR to overall third place in the 2007/08 A1GP World Cup of Motorsport standings. The team collected the trophy for bronze at the glittering A1GP gala Awards in London on 5th May.

Katie Clements, Team Principal, A1 Team GBR commented: “We have shown our consistency over three fantastic years of A1GP and now, while we will take a little time to enjoy the Brands Hatch results, we are very excited at the prospect of our first season as a Ferrari powered Series, the new challenges and opportunities that it will bring, and the campaign to bring the world cup home to Great Britain.”
