Aquila Racing Cars is a race car manufacturer from Denmark. Although the company has only been established since 2003 the key personnel involved have been racing for decades. Chief designer Anders W. Bonde and General manager Dan Suenson with their individual organizations teamed up and constructed a Formula Ford for the ‘Einsteiger’ series. In 2005, development started and by 2006 the first Aquila FZ1 was winning international races. The Aquila FZ1 won the 2007 Danish Formula Ford championship with Christian L. Markussen at the wheel. Both drivers finished in the points every race that season. By 2008, a regulation change in Formula Ford required running with a Duratec engine, in response the FD1 was developed and in its first season out, dominated the Danish championship with Fukamoni Racing's Kevin Magnussen fresh from karting. The season included several victories and lap records. The Aquila concept uses simple and stiff chassis technology, with a focus on reducing the car's center of gravity in order to utilise the contact patch as much as possible, reducing the wear on tires and brake pads. The Aquila CR1 is now the face of Aquila Racing Cars and many people refer to it as just “the Aquila.” With smooth styling and big V8's for reliability the CR1 is used as both a track day car and serious race car. Designed to be easy to drive with the lowest possible center of gravity, the two seated sports GT can be set up for a new track within 30 minutes thanks to its 8 pin release system on the front and rear (engine) cover. This means the bodywork can be removed by two mechanics in less than one minute, giving immediate access to all of the cars components for setup. The Aquila CR1 sports GT has continued to represent the company on an international level since the first cars rolled of the production line in April 2008, and became 24 hour approved by Wessex Vehicles at Silverstone, England, during the 2011 Britcar 24 hour race.
