World Rally Cross 2016 // Latvia
Read more: World Rally Cross 2016 // LatviaEver since I’ve first visited a World Rally Cross event, I wanted to come back for more. This racing discipline is so packed with high adrenaline drama, that it’s impossible to not to ask for more. Round in Riga got on my radar from the moment World RX organisers published the calendar for their 2016 season. New country, new track and a new winner – as we got to know after the weekend, but let’s not hurry. Forecast was ambivalent: sun on Saturday and heavy rain on Sunday. Well, doesn’t happen often, but indeed, forecast was 100% correct. Saturday welcomed…

GUEST POST // REMI MÕNGELIUS / DRIFTING VOLVOS ON LATVIAN ICE
Read more: GUEST POST // REMI MÕNGELIUS / DRIFTING VOLVOS ON LATVIAN ICEGuest post author: Remi Mõngelius // Facebook / Instagram Here’s a short story from early January of 2016. It’s 10 pm on a Saturday night when i get a phone call from Henri Puhmas: ”Yo, i’m taking the Volvo barge drifting in Latvia tomorrow, wanna tag along?” Promises of Volvos, drifting and a guarantee of smelling like Diesel and Oil by the end of the day.. Who could turn down such an offer? Next day, I pulled myself together at 4 AM and we started driving at 5. The serene still asleep world felt surreal and was quite a sight to see…

Guest Post // Andrej Tkačenko / Steyr 220 Gläser roadster (1939)
Read more: Guest Post // Andrej Tkačenko / Steyr 220 Gläser roadster (1939)Guest post author: Andrej Tkačenko // Facebook / Instagram / Website For me as an amateur-photographer it was a pleasure and honour to do the first photoshoot of this spectacular car right after it was restored. So, what makes this roadster unique? – it is one of few ever made and even less known to exist (only 4 cars are confirmed in 2016) – each of the roadsters differ slightly, unique body and a lot of hand work – almost every line of the car is a complex curve (teardrop shape) – art deco style, not typical for German coachbuilders, its body is…

NitrolympX // Hockenheimring / 2016
Read more: NitrolympX // Hockenheimring / 2016It’s nice to see you again Hockenheim. Small town with buildings that don’t go higher that an average tree. At first sight it seems that the tower that belongs to the fire station is the highest man-made structure in the region. If you arrived to Hockenheim on an appropriate weekend you’ll hear some loud noises from the distance. They will come from the forest that is on the edge of the town. Those be racing car or bike noises that are amplified even greater by the huge structures of the Hockenheimring complex that puts the fire tower into a different,…

Guest Post // Robert Linevskij / Rudskogen Motorfestival
Read more: Guest Post // Robert Linevskij / Rudskogen MotorfestivalGuest Post Author: Robert Linevskij // Facebook / Instagram I believe most of freelance photographers know that feeling when you get a call or an email from customer saying that in couple of days they need you at an event and then you’re just left there living the rest of the days thinking how cool the weekend is going to be. This time I was invited to Rudskogen Motorfestival as a cameraman for Superbike Round 1 & 2 finals, so the rest of the time I spent on the track photographing cars in action. Rudskogen Motorfestival is a growing automotive…

Guest Post // Anton Abitaev / DTM Moscow Raceway
Read more: Guest Post // Anton Abitaev / DTM Moscow RacewayAnton Abitaev is my friend and motorsport photographer from Latvia. He was kind enough to share some pictures and words in Russian from the DTM weekend at Moscow Raceway. Since he was an official photographer for the track, he got access to the pitlane. Guest Post Author: Anton Abitaev // Facebook / Instagram Человек любит придумывать себе традиции и я не стал исключением. Каждый год в конце лета я сажусь в самолёт и лечу в столицу России, после чего ещё пару часов езды на автобусе для журналистов от станции метро «Строгино» до небольшого города Волоколамск, где я провожу все выходные, с пятницы…
