It’s all about Formula 1 this week, with a smattering of news from the local scene. The team is joined by South African F1 Guru Sasha Martinengo, Absolute F1, Top Gear Live MPH presenter and 5FM DJ (@F1sasha – for the Twitter fans). He joins the team for the second time to discuss cars, the absurdity of the BMW 5-Series GT, a very old Ferrari and, of course, the 2010 Formula 1 Season.

@F1sasha joins the @zacarshow team for a second time. Much fun and laughter ensues.

BMW 5-Series Grand Turismo launched in SA this week.

Not the worst they could have done, not the best either.

Just before Frankfurt, a flurry of releases and reveals took place: thankfully, we cover just the most interesting ones. In next week’s show, we’ll do a post-Frankfurt wrap up and sort the wheat from the chaff.  This weeks best news is the unveiling of the  tribute to Mercedes-Benz’s classic 300 SL and possible McLaren SLR replacement, the Mercedes-Benz SLS. Another funny red car made the reveal with the Ferrari-tuned little Abarth 695 Tributo. This week we also pit two hot-hatch price competitors together with very different characters; MINI’s JCW goes head to head with the Golf VI GTI.

The second instalment of motoring tomfoolery for the year has the team covering a lot of news form the global motoring industry. From the law and legislation on to mergers and aquistions – this is not a financial business show just more of the same opinion from Christo, Patrick and the Trevors.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Fiat has announced that it would like a 35% stake in Chrysler – what are the ramifications? Fiat 300C’s, Dodge Californias or Alfa Romeo RAMs?
  • Ford announces its Powershift transmissionDSG for the non-jargonheads
  • AMG expresses its interest in more environmentally friendly power antics. Can we expect Diesel or Electric AMGs?
  • License plate legislation, the good, the bad and the short sighted…[via IOL Motoring]
  • Car Insurance, the UK crushes unlicensed cars, South Africa puts them on the roads
  • New Car Launch: FIAT Grande Punto T-Jet
