...Besides the F-22, other casualties will be a new search-and-rescue helicopter and the Army's Future Combat Systems program - a $160 billion fleet of high-tech vehicles and aircraft that is ideal for waging war against a powerfully armed nation-state but is of far less use for the kinds of counterinsurgency wars currently being waged. And the Navy's shipbuilding program, which has been shoddily run for years, will see some cuts. Gates also plans to cut spending on missile defense by $1.4 billion next year, while new satellite communications programs are trimmed. And the Marines...

But the new rules won't just show up on the track. For thousands of high-tech suppliers like Xtrac, many of them clustered around Oxford in southern England, recession-era racing and shrinking budgets are the next big challenge. The industry is typically "very resilient, and very resourceful," says Chris Aylett, head of Britain's Motorsport Industry Association. But for a few, "there will...
