After a few years and various owners, the Concorso Italiano seems to be back and better than ever. The all-Italian car show held the Saturday before Pebble Beach had a healthy several hundred cars, almost all of them interesting, and enthusiastic owners who hung around all day in little picnic circles chatting away. And there were even sunny skies overhead instead of gloomy fog. Bene!1957 625 TRC Tributo Only 19 Ferrari 500 TRC Testarossas were ever built in 1957, all with four-cylinder engines. Two were converted to V12s and were renamed 625 TRCs. This is a tribute car, built to represent a 625 TRC. The body you see here was fabricated on an English wheel and took over three years to make. The project was started by collector Larry Wilson in Florida and later sold to Scarab Motorsports in Prarie Village, Kansas, which finished it. Best part? It's for sale!1967 Bizzarrini 5300 Strada Only 133 of these were ever made, between 1964 and 1968. They're powered by the 327 Chevy small block engine and could make 400 hp.

Bad news for employees of this company as it plans massive sacking due to…, Indian workers among worst hit, not Narayana Murthy's Infosys, TCS, Google, Microsoft, name is…
Representational image American tech major Oracle Corporation has laid off around 10% of its employees in India and left thousands of professionals jobless overnight. While the company described the move as part of a 'restructuring exercise,' media reports link it to shifting U.S. policies under President Donald Trump like curbs on offshoring and reduced dependence on H-1B visas. Oracle Layoffs In India According to Data Centre Dynamics , Oracle's India operations have been hit the hardest as layoffs continue in other geographies. Teams working on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the U.S. are still receiving layoff notices, while employees in Canada and Mexico have also been impacted. As of 2024, Oracle employed around 28,824 people in India. The country has been a critical hub for software development, cloud services, and technical support. It also has a presence in major metros like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Noida, and Kolkata and also in Tier-II and Tier-III cities like Chandigarh, Lucknow, Jaipur, Bhopal, and Thiruvananthapuram. Oracle Global Layoffs In the U.S., Oracle is eliminating more than 150 positions in Seattle, majorly within its cloud infrastructure division. According to media reports, the company is still hiring for select roles focusing on specific teams. The cuts are linked to performance reviews and many believe they are also influenced by geopolitical factors and pressure to localise operations in key markets. The announcement has just been made days after Oracle CEO Larry Wilson met U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on August 7. Oracle had also revealed a major deal with OpenAI to host massive volumes of its data on Oracle's cloud, along with a hiring push at its Virginia office in the U.S. In Mexico, too, employees have received layoff notices, and staff in other countries have been called for undisclosed meetings, indicating more global job cuts could follow.
