Rossi optimistic of improved pace

Valentino Rossi is optimistic of improved pace from the Ducati Desmosedici GP11 at the French Grand Prix, following a positive test at Estoril last week. After finishing in a season's best fourth place at the Portuguese Grand Prix, Rossi sampled an upgraded bike at the circuit and went fifth quickest in the test. He reported a front end that was more sensitive to set-up changes and smoother power delivery from the engine, and believes that both factors will make the Italian squad more competitive at Le Mans

April 2011 Sales: What the Headlines Don?t Tell You

Virtually every automaker doing business in the U.S. had good news to report for April 2011. Chalk it up to increased consumer confidence (whether that’s justifiable, it’s impossible to say) and a slew of new models hitting the market.
