Malaysian Motorsports Hanging In The Balance

This week, we talk about AAM’s deregistration as Malaysia’s motorsport body and the conversations behind the rumoured replacement. Also in the news, Europeans get a taste of future mobility as Stuttgart begins banning diesel cars in its city center, while the EU pushes for mandatory speed limiting devices in cars by 2022.

Our car review this week is on the fast, fun, but flawed Mercedes-Benz A250. It’s a hot hatch without the boy-racer attitude!
