Le Mans 24H // Group C
Read more: Le Mans 24H // Group CGroup C was the main Prototype class introduced in 1982. It was live for 11 years, until a change of engine regulations killed it in 1993. In theory any engine was possible. This allowed production engines like V8s from Aston Martin and Mercedes and Jaguar V12s to compete head to head with Mazda’s rotary engines and so on. As it usually is, this provided spectacular racing, produced many great solutions, attracted many manufacturers and spectators. For me it’s a honour that we’re still able to see these late 20th century racing cars on the track, be it a support race for current WEC prototypes or a classic Le…

Read more: 101 Pictures from the DTM FestivalWhen you’re not a full-time motorsport photographer, you face a number of difficulties: you don’t know, will you actually get an accreditation or not, you need to find a publication and, usually, you spend own money on travel. Around 10 days before the event I got an email that I’m approved for DTM at Hockenheimring. In this case it’s best not to turn down the opportunity, which I didn’t – so I packed my bags and went to shoot German Touring Masters for the second time in my life. I like Hockenheimring and how it is situated. Comfortable flight to Frankfurt and…

Hooaja Avakruiis 2015 // Tallinn
Read more: Hooaja Avakruiis 2015 // TallinnI’m quite a fan of american cars, so when I heard that season opening is planned on 1st of May, I was a bit sad. I had to go to Hockenheimring Festival that day and I would miss the US event. Yes, you heard me right. I knew that I’m going to see DTM and World Rally Cross, but I felt sad missing these old american bombs & muscles. Luckily I understood that I can squeeze myself for a later plane departure, so I managed to go to the show for 1 hour. It was good as always, many familiar…

Suurhalli Drift 2015 // Highlights / Day 1
Read more: Suurhalli Drift 2015 // Highlights / Day 1It was a long winter for me, cold dark winter. My camera was on the shelf all the time and today it was ready for the first Estonian drifting event of year 2015. It was a training day for pro and pro-am drivers and spectators could see what competitors were doing in their garages for past 6 months. Quite a few drivers moved from Street to Pro-am class and also some gathered their strength and will search for luck in Pro competition.
