A year in Wovka’s life
Read more: A year in Wovka’s lifeYear 2016 has 8784 hours in it and that’s 24 hours more than previous 3 years, so you can’t really blame the time for not managing to do something. These 366 days ended really fast for me and they don’t seem to slow down. I’ve visited around 25 cities in 7 countries on 2 continents and photographed most powerful racing cars in different, but always demanding conditions. Truth is, for a freelance photographer from Northern Europe, racing season doesn’t last 12 months – roller coaster starts around March and finishes in October, winter months are for post-edit work, planning and…

Mercedes Museum / Stuttgart
Read more: Mercedes Museum / StuttgartMercedes museum is just ten minute ride away from the Porsche museum that I just finished exploring. Now I was more interested in innovations than in racing spirit. This museum is big, nine storey big, but before we go up, check out the elevators that lead you there. We start with 130 year old history, when mister Karl Benz was trying to make a helicopter or a moving cupboard. And now we decent into nine rings of hell innovations. *Classical music plays* *Jimi Hendrix wrestling his stratocaster* *Autobahn is performed by Kraftwerk* *Jetsons theme song on repeat* *V8 Formula 1…

Porsche Museum / Stuttgart
Read more: Porsche Museum / StuttgartDuring my spring trip to Germany I didn’t only go for the famous ADAC ZURICH 24H Race, otherwise known as Nurburgring 24h. I’ve spent half a day in Stuttgart, visiting Porsche and Mercedes museums. Museum of the iconic sportcar maker was the first on my list so as soon as I got my rent car, I headed south from Frankfurt. You can say that the museum is not very big, all the history is more or less fitted on one floor. Second floor is mostly for showroom models. You start the tour with the first construction of Ferdinand Porsche the…

Formula D // Wall Speedway / General Thoughts
Read more: Formula D // Wall Speedway / General ThoughtsI was dreaming to come and photograph Formula D for quite some years and 2016 was the year for me. FD at Wall Speedway neatly fitted to my holidays in New York. I jumped into a rental and drove those 100 miles to New Jersey state jumping few road tolls on the way (why nobody warns that there maybe no one in the booth and that only exact coins are accepted?) I’m a bit spoiled with FD drivers in general, meeting and seeing half of them in action on different European circuits, but when it all comes together – it’s…
