Tommy Dreelan – 1987 Porsche 962C at the 2016 Silverstone Classic Media Day (Photo 1)

Pit lane shot of the Porsche 962C (S/N 118) in its Leyton House Livery. This car originally took part in the 1986 24 Hours Le Mans with team Porsche Kremer Racing and Kenwood sponsorship livery but failed to finish, crashing out on the Mulsanne Straight in the early hours of the Sunday and killing driver Jo Gartner. The gearbox on the car failed, locking the rear wheels and sending the car into the armco.

The car was rebuilt using a new tub and chassis, and was entered into the 1000km of Spa the same year where it finished 12th overall. The car then continued competing throughout 1987 and 1988, returning both years to compete at Le Mans, but it was in 1987 it acheived its best result, finishing 4th overall while wearing the livery seen here.

As a side note, Leyton House is a Japanese real estate company, who took over the March Formula 1 team in 1990 having being the principle sponsor since 1987. In 1991, the team owner Akira Akagi became embroilded in a financial scandal and was arrested. In a move to distance the team from this, it was sold to a consortium of buyers and rebranded back to March F1 for the 1992 season.

This is perhaps my favourite shots of this Ferrari 250 to date, I like the way the curves of those front arches look so exaggerated from this point of view, and the glimpse into the cockpit and that yellow stripe on the steering wheel that offers a small hint that this car may sometimes need the driver to orientate himself back to the straight ahead position. ________________________________ Dave Adams Automotive Images

U.S., Mexico reach NAFTA deal, turning up pressure on Canada

New Post has been published on http://newsintoday.info/2018/08/27/u-s-mexico-reach-nafta-deal-turning-up-pressure-on-canada/

U.S., Mexico reach NAFTA deal, turning up pressure on Canada

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States and Mexico agreed on Monday to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), putting pressure on Canada to agree to new terms on auto trade and dispute settlement rules to remain part of the three-nation pact.

Auto stocks soared and financial markets firmed on the expectation that Canada would sign on to the deal by the end of the week and ease the economic uncertainty caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated threats that he would ditch the 1994 accord.

But details of gains and concessions in the deal were only starting to emerge on Monday, and Trump threatened he still could put tariffs on Canadian-made cars if Canada did not join its neighbors.

“I think with Canada, frankly, the easiest we can do is to tariff their cars coming in. It’s a tremendous amount of money and it’s a very simple negotiation. It could end in one day and we take in a lot of money the following day,” Trump said.

Negotiations between the three trade partners have dragged on for more than a year, putting pressure on the Mexican peso MXN= and the Canadian dollar CAD= both gained against the dollar after Monday’s announcement.

The political stakes are high for all three countries. Trump and Republicans in the U.S. Congress up for reelection in November want to ensure farmers and other voters whose jobs depend on trade with Canada and Mexico that the deal is sealed.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto wants to sign the agreement before leaving office at the end of November, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces a national election expected by October 2019.

Canada plans to continue to negotiate, but would only sign a new agreement that is good for the country, a spokesman for Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said.

Freeland is expected to travel to Washington for talks on Tuesday, spokesman Adam Austen said.

Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray told a news conference in Washington that if Canada and the United States do not reach an agreement on NAFTA, “we already know that there will still be a deal between Mexico and the United States.”

Officials said they hope Canada will agree to the terms by Friday, when the White House plans to formally notify Congress that Trump will sign the deal in 90 days. Congress has to approve it.

“There are still issues with Canada but I think they could be resolved very quickly,” a senior trade official told Reuters in an interview.

If talks with Canada are not wrapped up by the end of this week, Trump plans to notify Congress that he has reached a deal with Mexico, but would be open to negotiations with Canada, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told reporters.

Some Republicans in the U.S. Congress called the deal a positive step but said Canada must be part of the new pact to avoid hurting U.S. jobs.

NEW AUTO RULES

The United States, Mexico and Canada do more than 1 trillion dollars in trade between them every year.

Trudeau spoke to Pena Nieto on Sunday and shared their commitment to reaching a successful conclusion of NAFTA “for all three parties” the prime minister’s office said.

The Mexico-U.S. discussions focused on crafting new rules for the automotive industry, which Trump has put at the heart of his drive to rework the pact he has repeatedly described as a “disaster” for American workers.

Matt Blunt, president of the American Automotive Policy Council, which represents General Motors Co (GM.N), Ford Motor Co (F.N) and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCHA.MI), said the group was optimistic about the new deal, though it was still reviewing the details.

The deal would require 75 percent of auto content to be made in the NAFTA region, up from the current level of 62.5 percent, a U.S. trade official said. A fact sheet describing the bilateral agreement specified the content would be made in the United States and Mexico.

The Trump administration said the deal improves labor provisions, in part by requiring 40 percent to 45 percent of auto content to be made by workers earning at least $16 per hour – a salary that could remove incentives for automakers to move jobs to Mexico.

The United States relented on its demand for an automatic expiration for the deal, known as a “sunset clause.”

Instead, the United States and Mexico agreed to a 16-year lifespan for the deal, with a review every six years that can extend the pact for 16 years, U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer said.

Mexico agreed to eliminate dispute settlement panels for certain anti-dumping cases, a move that could complicate talks with Canada, which had insisted on the panels.

Monday’s announcement lifted equity markets in all three countries, with shares in automotive companies standing out on relief that the deal appeared to end the uncertainty that has dogged the sector for months.

General Motors Co (GM.N), Ford Motor Co (F.N), and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCAU.N) gained between 3.3 percent and 4.8 percent, while Canadian auto parts makers such as Magna International Inc (MG.TO) gained 4.6 percent.
