Aquila success in 2011

An update from Aquila...

2011 was a busy year for us here at Aquila, the CR1 had its most successful year to date, becoming Danish champion under the piloting of Claus Christensen and being 24hour approved by Wessex vehicles from the UK in the Britcar 24hour at Silverstone. A number of lap records were set in across Europe as well as a handful of top speed records, and It does not stop there. 2011 saw the first cars delivered across the Atlantic, and the introduction to South American, German and also our first U.S Aquila agents.

We also have many new friends across the world! Every day we receive Emails complimenting the cars and asking all sorts of questions about the company "The small Danish car manufacturer." But every now and then we get some very interesting emails, one such Email was sent by the Winner of our spring competition Dane Child, owner of Armageddon Designs in Australia. The Email included a fantastic livery design with our Aquila logos and colours displayed perfectly! A design that stated the car is here to race, take on the best and also be a proud flag for our company's image. If you follow us on Facebook you can see pictures of this car beautifully captured by Thomas Nielsen. Armageddon designs are online with Facebook for everyone to see. Dane is one of many talented individuals that have contacted us in the last year and we enjoy reading each Email we receive.

So now with our pride and joy the "Aquila CR1" officially becoming the face of Aquila in 2010, we are proud to offer 4 years of racing development on the car, including two 24hour events with the ever popular GM LS7 engine. And now with the 2011European race season being all but over, its time to look back and enjoy what this year has brought us..
