BARCELONA, Spain, April 25, 2008 (AFP) - Cash-strapped Japanese Formula One team Super Aguri were on Friday cleared to take part in this weekend´s Spanish Grand Prix.

Honda, which supplies Super Aguri with cars, engines and technical support, gave the go-ahead following meetings in Japan, and its drivers lined out for the first free practice sessions on Friday.

But the team still need a buyer if they are to continue beyond this weekend´s race and are said to be in talks with a number of potential investors.

Super Aguri have struggled since being founded in late 2005 by former Japanese racer Aguri Suzuki. They suffered a major blow last week when Britain´s Magma Group backed out of plans to acquire it.

Honda have said they have no plans to bail out Super Aguri.

The team have yet to score any points after three races. Drivers, Briton Anthony Davidson and Japan´s Takuma Sato, both failed to finish in the opening race in Australia. Their best result was Davidson´s 15th place in Malaysia.

Last year, Super Aguri won just four points in the constructors´ championships - an improvement on their pointless debut season - to finish second-last.
