    Guest 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.

And you sense cars racing, spectators, engine noises, tire and clutch smell… A moment later you see a BMW 3.0 CSL. It’s not an ordinary car, you start to understand that in front of you is a 291 km/h art form. Roaring away with it’s 400 horsepower race engine.
