This weeks news includes an update on the battle between the US Government, General Motors and Chrysler. I also talk about GM's waste reduction program, Ford's quality improvements and the launch of the new AC Cobra VI and the soon to be launched McLaren supercar. Motor sports race results come from Formula 1 (China), Indy (Long Beach) and the V8 Supercars (Hamilton in New Zealand). This weeks history article is about Isotta Fraschini who like Rolls Royce and Hispano-Suiza, still make large capacity engines. The technical article is a discussion on compressed air engines including several manufacturers and designers of these types of engines.
