  • Goodwood Festival of Speed 2017 // Formula 1

    Goodwood Festival of Speed has a stunning line-up every year, but this time it was so much concentrated on Formula 1 and open seaters because the celebration of Bernie Ecclestone’s legacy as well as Ferrari’s 70s anniversary. Niki Lauda’s legendary cars, Ayrton Senna’s, James Hunt’s, Derek Bell’s, Emerson Fittipaldi’s, Nico Rosberg’s – everything was there. Full evolution of F1 car was on display. Pre-war single seaters, lightly pushed down with wings, aerodynamic era cars, turbocharged 1200+ hp monsters, amazing V10 vocal racers and modern almost silent cars, as well as Formula E. Fastest Formula and second overall on the Goodwood…

  • Baggsy’s New LSX-Powered GT-R Drift Car

    Just when Goodwood Festival of Speed got underway, Monster Energy presented fans with a new drift video called Battle Drift 2, featuring Daigo Saito in his Lamborghini Murchielago and Steve ‘Baggsy’ Biagioni behind the wheel of his freshly built LSX-powered Nissan R35. I got personal with the car during the FOS weekend and made a snap of it in detail and from every angle. Specifications: 7.4L GM LSX 454, Garrett GTX4718R turbo, 1200hp; Liberty Walk wide-body kit with GT wing, 20″ Rotiform LHR wheels.

  • Jeep Wrangler X

    I’m quite a big fan of rugged four-by-fours, so was excited to shoot this Jeep Wrangler, X edition. Car wears this very juicy red colour, so to photograph it with light painting technique was the first thing that came to mind. I played a bit with my Yongnuo YN360 Light Wand before, but this was the first proper shoot that I did with it. I see some mistakes, but in overall, I’m happy with how it came out.

  • Audi Museum / Ingolstadt

    Audi Museum in Ingolstadt was the last car museum I visited in previous year. During 2016 I’ve been to Porsche and Mercedes museums in Stuttgart, and BMW museum in Munich. Four rings branded museum is not as big or technically advanced as the rest, but it does feature all four brands that associated with Auto Union – Horch, Audi, Wanderer and DKW. A little consumer side note: ticket costs only 2EUR. I didn’t know that and was a bit ashamed when asked for a media pass, which by the way they don’t have. You can dive quite deep into their pre-war…

  • HGK Drift Challenge 2017

    HGK Motorsport with Kristaps Bluss in particular made the best drift showcase event there is. Beautiful sunny day, action from the early morning and unforgettable battles. Exclusively for the blog I went a bit more behind the scenes/behind the backs/behind the track to show you some portraits, snaps and outtakes. Sadly I couldn’t take more pictures of Dennis Häggblom’s S2000, since he made a mistake in Top 32 and he took the role of spectator. S2000 is sicker than it ever was, proudly wearing that new carbon body. Composite materials was the unofficial theme of the event – three HGK…

  • Stancest’17 // Lowlifer / Space X

    Annual Stancest event, organised by Lowlifer Car Club, was the best one so far. Weather was much better than previous year as well as the location: Space X center in Ulemiste City fitted best cars of the show, as well as the territory next to it was cozy and chill. Exhibitions itself definitely improved, bringing more international cars as well more sponsors. Here’s my take on the event with this fast edit. Separate shoots with some of the best cars will be published later 😉
