Some of them are only available in the newest vehicle models, while others can be added on to older vehicles. Here is a look at five new technologies that can change the way you drive.

  • Neste World RX of Latvia 2017

    I was back for another year of World Rally Cross championship round in Latvia. Already before the event I made a bet that Johan Kristoffersson will win this one as well; and I was right – not only Johan got the win, he also secured the driver’s Championship, as well as VW got the manufacturer title. Their cars are on different level this year and it seems that only wet conditions can make the field more equal. Last year it was Sebastian Loeb who got his first and so far, the only, win. This year he made it to the…

    Monster Energy Rig Riot

    First qualifying just ended and I wasn’t sure that anything could be hotter than Timo Scheider’s Fiesta. It was time for the Rig Riot. Monster Girls were already on stage, warming up the crowd. After few intro songs, green confetti fired away and awaited Monster drivers made an appearance. Crowd went wild, mostly because hundreds of different merchandise pieces were thrown into the fan pit – almost a mosh pit at this point. I like shooting Monster Energy Rig Riot, since this is the only place during the weekend where drivers let go of their emotions in public. Sadly Mattias…

  • WRC Neste Rally Finland 2017

    Last time I’ve visited a World Rally Championship event around 5-6 years ago. Back then it was still Sebastian Loeb collecting rally wins and championship titles, but oh boy how it changed. 2017 is a different game overall. WRC cars became faster and adapted, what I call, DTM-styled aerodynamics. It’s a rookie fest out there in terms of drivers, only veterans competing are Ford’s Sebastian Ogier, Toyota’s Jari-Matti Latvala and Hyundai’s Dani Sordo. Toyota brings “the Flying Finn” phenomenon back to trend with running a Finnish trio: Jari Matti, Esapekka Lappi and Juho Hänninen. Ogier’s teammate is young Estonian Ott…

  • Diskustom Magazine Kruise Nite

    Diskustom is a fresh local zine as well as a movement that hails customs, hotrods and other unconventional builds. Jarmo, guy behind it, tries to organise monthly road trips and puts a “car & coffee” feel to the meets. I was able to join the gang on their second outing and luckily enough – it was the hottest day of Estonian summer.

  • Monster Energy at Gatebil Rudskogen festival

    Monster Energy supports Gatebil festival for many years now by bringing together international drift and motorsport stars. This year Gatebil veterans like Luke Woodham and Dmitriy Illyuk were joined by Sultan Al-Qassimi, Steve “Baggsy” Biagioni and off-road star Casey Currie. Guys try to put a show on and off track. Close proximity drifting, backwards entries and insane cars is what Monster does best on track. Parties, free energy drinks and Monster Girls in the pits and at the concert area is what they’re famous for during the night. Baggsy brought his new GT-R that was revealed only a week ago…
