In this weeks episode, I report on production increases by Ford and General Motors, issues at Porsche and financial results from HWA and Tesla. I also comment on production decreases by Toyota and Mitsubishi.


The motor sports results are from F1 and GP2 in Spain, Indy in California, NASCAR in Bristol, Le Mans Series from the great Nurburgring and the V8s in Queensland.


Motoring history this week is about the French Alpine sports cars that were World Rally Champions and Le Mans winners who were absorbed into Renault to become Renault Sport.


The technical article is about Ford's V4 and V6 Essex engines produced in the UK, South Africa and Canada.
