Monster Energy at Gatebil Rudskogen festival
Read more: Monster Energy at Gatebil Rudskogen festivalMonster Energy supports Gatebil festival for many years now by bringing together international drift and motorsport stars. This year Gatebil veterans like Luke Woodham and Dmitriy Illyuk were joined by Sultan Al-Qassimi, Steve “Baggsy” Biagioni and off-road star Casey Currie. Guys try to put a show on and off track. Close proximity drifting, backwards entries and insane cars is what Monster does best on track. Parties, free energy drinks and Monster Girls in the pits and at the concert area is what they’re famous for during the night. Baggsy brought his new GT-R that was revealed only a week ago…

Gatebil Rudskogen // 2016
Read more: Gatebil Rudskogen // 2016Just before the current trip to Gatebil I realised that this would be my fifth time at the event. A small anniversary then. So why do I keep coming back? Since I even didn’t like last year’s event that much. Not to mention that I’m getting more and more introverted with age, so loud parties and 40 000 crowds are usually a no-no to me. Heck, I even bought a pair of noise cancelling headphones recently, just to keep the outside world a bit more away. I can’t really explain it, but every time the dates for next year’s main…

How hard can it be to make a “Gatebil” in Baltics?
Read more: How hard can it be to make a “Gatebil” in Baltics?Hello beautiful reader, it’s cold in the parts where I live and my camera is hidden for few months already and awaits the next racing season to start in April. Although I have ideas for visiting some winter-cold WRC events in between. Today I want to talk about one event that many people believe is the mecca for automotive pleasure. It is called Gatebil which means Street Car in Norwegian. It’s an event where 40 000 people from all over the World come to enjoy themselves, get inspired, be astonished, to feel free to express who they are and what…

September Gatebil in the rain or the story of 10 spectators
Read more: September Gatebil in the rain or the story of 10 spectatorsEarlier in autumn, I went once more time to Norway. My main priority was the NEZ Formula Offroad final in Skien, but there was also a Gatebil event at the same time. I arrived Friday evening and based on the weather forecast, decided to go to Rudskogen, also it seemed a better place for sleep than some petrol station. Rain already passed when I arrived, but Saturday looked to be a different story – heavy rain all day long. At the moment everybody were mainly eating and preparing for some 90’s euro-disco party. Why, yes why, you don’t hear any…

Gatebil Rudskogen // July / 2015
Read more: Gatebil Rudskogen // July / 2015I 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…

Remembering Gatebil Rudskogen
Read more: Remembering Gatebil RudskogenIn 2013 I went to Gatebil for the first time and caught the bug.. I came back in 2014 and already booked the trip for 2015. I seen Gatebil action on “Getaway in Stockholm” DVDs and never understood what is actually happening. Top rated car media blessed this event and as soon as I got there I agreed with them. I know why it’s the best speed festival on Earth – because Scandinavians. People in the North don’t know how to drink moderate, don’t know how to keep a moderate number of cars on the track, don’t know how to…
