FIA Admits Software Glitch Caused 53-Minute Delay at Chaotic Bahrain GP

The FIA confirmed that a software bug in the power unit caused multiple F1 cars to stall during the formation lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, leading to a 53-minute delay. FIA official Nikolas Tombazis admitted the issue stemmed from insufficient testing in wet conditions, a problem exacerbated by the sport's new 47% electrical power regulations. While drivers like Max Verstappen and Lando Norris criticized the electronic complexity, the FIA stated the fix was implemented within 20 minutes.

NAM Chief Sees EPA Rollback as a Boost for U.S. Manufacturing, Urges Permitting Reform

NAM CEO Jay Timmons says the Trump administration’s rollback of Biden-era power-plant emissions standards will be a major boost for manufacturers, but he argues lasting change requires Congress and significant permitting reform; NAM polling shows 80% of manufacturers say permitting is harmful to investment, and up to 87% would expand operations or hire if permitting were streamlined.

Trump Expands Hunting and Fishing Access with Executive Orders

Trump will sign executive orders to broaden hunting and fishing access by opening more public lands and offshore waters, easing regulatory barriers, and promoting participation among younger Americans and veterans; the measures target lead-free ammo and tackle rules, push for multi-year permits and mobile reporting, and seek to boost offshore reefs and wildlife management, aiming to bolster the $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation sector.

EPA rolls back Biden-era power-plant emissions rules, citing authority limits

The US Environmental Protection Agency announced it will scrap most Biden-era rules limiting emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants, saying the rules exceeded the agency’s authority and will seek to remove other greenhouse-gas rules for the sector. Officials say the move could save about $310bn and lower energy prices while maintaining safeguards, but environmental groups warn it could worsen public health and climate and expect immediate legal challenges.

California adopts new license plate sequence after 46-year run of the old format

California will switch its license plate format for the first time since 1980 due to a shortage of available combinations. The new sequence will be three numbers, followed by three letters and a final number. The DMV has begun producing the plates, though it’s unclear when they’ll appear on vehicles; the change is expected to last about 40 years, with each configuration offering more than 100 million possible combinations.

Hemp lobby bets on funding patch to delay the diet-weed ban

As a Sept. 30 funding deadline looms, the Trump administration and hemp-industry advocates are pressing to delay a mid-November ban on intoxicating hemp products by attaching language to a must-pass funding bill, with promises to finalize new rules. House Republicans seek changes before passage, while some lawmakers warn against a shutdown over the issue. Industry leaders expect a temporary regulatory bridge—such as age restrictions, tighter manufacturing and labeling rules, and import controls—to avert a full ban while regulations are completed.

California tire rules spark price warnings from Dunlop

Dunlop Tires warns that California's new replacement tire efficiency rules, which phase in a minimum rolling-resistance standard starting in 2029, will raise manufacturing costs and likely push tire prices higher—estimates range up to $157 per tire, meaning hundreds more per vehicle. The policy, intended to cut emissions and save fuel, has mixed support among manufacturers and could hurt smaller brands, while performance concerns such as grip and durability are also raised.

NYC bets on year-round outdoor dining amid clutter and controversy

New York City’s City Council approved four bills to allow 12-month outdoor dining structures on streets, reversing the seasonal removal rule and promising clearer rules and fines for cleanliness. While the move pleases restaurants and some council members, critics warn it will clog streets, invite vermin and unsafe winter conditions, and shift focus from indoor dining struggles. The Department of Transportation will finalize updated rules as part of the tighter oversight, signaling a long winter ahead for both operators and residents.

Europe’s Patchwork of Tap Water Rules Meets Italy’s Court Ruling

Europe’s Patchwork of Tap Water Rules Meets Italy’s Court Ruling

A recent Italian Supreme Court ruling found hotels/restaurants aren’t legally obligated to provide tap water, highlighted by a Dolomites hotel case where bottled water was the only option. The piece contrasts this with Europe’s diverse rules: Spain and Portugal push for free tap water in hospitality venues; France maintains the traditional “carafe d’eau” free with meals; the UK requires free water on request where alcohol is served; in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands water is typically treated as a paid product. Amid a heatwave, hydration remains a public health concern, but access to free tap water varies by country.

FIA Rolls Out Midseason Fixes to 2026 F1 Rules: Curbing Superclipping, Tightening Safety

The FIA announced midseason tweaks to the 2026 F1 regulations aimed at reducing qualifying “superclipping” by cutting total energy regen from 8 MJ to 7 MJ and allowing 350 kW harvesting in more parts of the lap, tightening safety by capping boost at +150 kW and limiting MGU-K deployment in certain sections, and testing an automatic start-detection system to prevent slow starts (the race-start change will not be immediate). Most changes take effect at the Miami Grand Prix, with the start-procedure adjustment evaluated for later rollout.

Sweeping 2026 F1 car rule tweaks approved after crunch meeting

FIA and F1 announced a set of 2026 car regulation tweaks across qualifying, race, wet weather and starts to curb aggressive energy harvesting, balance performance and boost safety. Key changes include lowering energy recharge from 8MJ to 7MJ, raising peak power to 350kW, increasing the number of races with lower energy limits to 12, capping race Boost at +150kW with MGU-K limited to 250kW in most of the lap, higher tyre-blanket temps for intermediates, reduced ERS deployment, simplified rear lights, and a new low-power start detector with automatic MGU-K deployment plus a formation-lap energy reset. These will be tested at the Miami Grand Prix and await World Council approval.
