  • Slowball // Preparation Day / Tallinn

    Slowball is an event that is completely opposite to Gumball, except the similarity in the name. You won’t find any expensive cars or glamour here. On the other hand, diversity and artistic expression goes through the roof. 2. Idea is simple: bunch of guys & gals with artistic talents bought 20+ cheap wheels and visually customised them. 3. Between 5th and 9th of August they will take their creations on a road trip across Estonia. 4. Cars will start in Tallinn and their first stop will be at Rummu Quarry 5. After that they will move to Haapsalu 6. Later ferry will…

  • Gatebil Rudskogen // July / 2015

    I always try to get new experience and choose those events where I haven’t been before, but I can’t say this about Gatebil – I’ve been to Gatebil Rudskogen festival three times and I’m planning to go next year as well. Event is so diverse that I’m not sure why I keep coming back: is it the atmosphere, or drifting, or socialisation with colleagues? I arrived in the evening on Friday and went straight away to the track, festival program already finished and that meant that Rudskogen circuit is filled with photoshoots. Me and fellow photographer Alex went to say…

  • GUEST POST // REMI MÕNGELIUS / NITRO NATIONALS ’15

    Another week, another ”narrated gallery” from me. Well.. Where do I start? I guess I could start from last Friday. I woke up to a phone call at 10 am, it was my brother calling me. ”Hey, you up?” My answer was no. ”Pack your bags, we’re going to Alastaro.” My answer? ”Sure, call me when you get here.” Not your usual run of the mill story when it comes to motorsport events. Before the Nitro Nationals, I had never been to a ”real” drag racing event, so here it goes – my experience. Bear in mind though – I’ll…

  • Power Big Meet // Road Trip / 2015

    Some time ago my friends from Russia started to mention one bad-ass event that is held in Sweden. It is called Power Big Meet and is organised for more than 30 years. Friends invited me to go with them this year. They are running a car club called Non Grata, some of you may know that it’s the first Lowrider club in Russia. Aleksandr and Andrei arrived one day earlier to Tallinn, in a sorted out Chevrolet Impala and crisp Volga “GAZ-24” Lowriders. We did some photoshoots, but more of it you’ll see in future posts, let’s stick to our…

  • 24 Hours of Le Mans // Entertaining Statistics / 2015

    As some of you know, I’m not only a motorsport photographer, but an Internet marketer that loves analytics. In a recent press release from World Endurance Championship (WEC) I read that the latest edition of Le Mans 24 hour race attracted 263 500 spectators, the biggest in the past 20 years. Here are some interesting statistics (and my pictures from 2014) that I got from WEC: Spectators at the circuit – 263 500 spectators at the circuit, 200 more than in 2014. – 30 100 spectators at the first day’s practice (Wednesday 10th June), 56 000 the second (Thursday 11th…
