  • Baltic Drift Championship // Riga / 2018

    After long winter rest I find myself at a familiar track – Bikernieki circuit in Riga. It’s a fresh tradition to start the Baltic championship at this infamous track. Eline Berke does a great job, always bringing full house of spectators and more than 100 drivers. But don’t get your hopes up, most of the drivers are pro-am or street league. Only 21 or 22 drivers were fighting for top honours, and that is from 3 baltic countries. Why is that? Well, for sure few teams didn’t manage to finish the car yet, few guys may be interested only in…

  • American Car Show Helsinki 2018

    In my last year’s post I was deliberating, while I go to Helsinki or to Stockholm for Elmia show, but once again I ended up in Finland. It’s already a tradition for me to head to Helsinki on Easter weekend. Helsinki’s American Car Show (actually show consists of four exhibitions: american cars, tuning, motorbikes, motorsport) offers a great selection of builds every time, although there’s quite a lot of familiar cars at the show as well. Well, it’s good to catch up with old friends as well. The Cars corner I understand that these car clubs just take up space,…

  • Geneva International Motor Show 2018

    My friend and car photographer Igor Sinitsin (site & facebook) attended the infamous Geneva International Motor Show for another year and shared his pictures (2017 gallery here) with me. I thought it will be very cool to show some glamorous hypercars once in a while. Here’s what he has to say: Geneva International Motor Show has become a destination for my annual pilgrimage. Despite the crowds, booked out hotels, lines everywhere, and a 6 hour drive away from where I live, this event always offers something that others can not match. Being a truly boutique exhibition, it is THE place…

  • Klassikstadt Frankfurt

    Let’s imagine you’re a rich person living in Frankfurt: where will you go to buy your next supercar or a collectable? I think I have an answer – you will go to Klassikstadt, located in a n old German factory building. I visited it in autumn, so don’t remember already, was the place is three or four floors, but I remember that first one was dedicated to car showrooms like Lamborghini and McLaren. Next one or two were about classic cars and the last one had some unique super and hyper cars on display.
