    The Ultimate Sleeper: 1997 Volvo 850 Wagon?

    You’re sitting in traffic at a red light, idling behind a fully restored Alfa-Romeo GTV. The driver is revving the engine, no doubt full of high performance parts, and ejecting exhaust across the hood of your family-friendly sedan. The essence of class struggle has never felt more real. Then, from your forward left, comes more revving. Only this time it’s from the engine of a beige and beat up looking station wagon, its driver staring down the driver of that GTV up ahead. You can’t help but chuckle. “This guy gets it”, you think to yourself. Then the light turns…

    SHOULD YOU CONTINUE INVESTING IN AN OLD VEHICLE

    Cars can be extremely sentimental to some people: they hold memories of times that we hold as important to our lives. It’s easy to get attached to the vehicles we drive, we spend a lot of time in them. So for that reason, many people choose to continue driving older cars, whether they’re inherited or bought these antique cars can be some people’s most prized possessions. However, old cars are expensive to keep road ready. They require constant maintenance and care, while this may be an entertaining hobby for those mechanically minded for others it may end up being a…

  • How to get sponsors for your Drift Car

    1) Make your car look good, then run well. Polish your shit up (clean and tidy pits, car, etc.) 2) Winning doesn’t guarantee sponsors. Nobody knows when you win. You can guarantee two videos after the event, distribution, etc. Take care of your sponsors. Sponsorship is not about putting a logo on your car. 3) Sponsors don’t need a logo drifting around a track, they need “activation”. There are thousands ways to activate fans, just be creative: from simple giveaways and couponing to test rides and interactions with fans. 4) Be super hard-working hustler 5) Don’t be afraid to do…

  • How to do Social Media if you’re a Drifter aka Social Media Drift Bible

    1) Answer why you need it. Alright, alright, I’ll do it for you: because no one cares about you until you spread the word, engage fans, help fans and sponsors connect with you, sell yourself. The truth is – you’re fucked. People think it’s easy to grow a personal brand with the help of social media, but it’s not true – it’s hard and expectations are usually too high. Don’t take it lightly, I will go through some strategies that will help you grow faster. It’s about building your own community, so you need to rely less on influencers (media).…

  • A year in Wovka’s life

    Year 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…
