Formed his own Formula Nippon and IRL teams but in 2006, he ambitiously attempted Formula 1 with his own team. They became popular, and did very well considering their budget, but money problems led to the team disbanding in 2008. Aguri had a brief break, before returning to team management in F.Nippon, Super GT and Japanese F3 and karts. In 2014, however, Super Aguri returned, in Formula E with Aguri still at the helm, and Suzuki returned for more of the same in 2015-2016. He now runs teams in Japan, in both endurance and single-seaters. His driving career is somewhat forgotten about now, but Aguri was 1988 Japanese Formula 3000 champion and 1986 Japanese Touring Car Champion.
