  • HGK Drift Challenge 2018

    Welcome to the Formula D round in Riga.. wait, no.. it’s the HGK Drift Challenge 2018. We’re all familiar with HGK Motorsport and their insane cars, so already for the third year they make their own cozy event. Mostly their drift customers are invited as well as few Formula D guys. This time frenemies Matt Field and Odi Bakchis got acquainted with the fierce Bikernieki circuit. Many agree that after Daigo Saito it was Kristaps Bluss who brought another big change to how Formula D cars are built. Carbon kevlar body panels are becoming the new norm for the sport…

  • BMW Museum / Munich

    There is no point to hide it, I was a BMW fan from my teenage years. Father taught me to drive on an E30 when I was around 11 and I followed brand’s influence on the World ever since. I saw BMW Headquarters cylinder building in some magazine many years ago and since then I knew that want to see it in real life and visit their famous museum. My first attempt was in 2013, but I was in Munich on Monday, so the museum was closed. I got another opportunity to visit Munich in summer 2016 and this time…

    Guest Post // Anton Abitaev / DTM Moscow Raceway

    Anton 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…

  • ADAC Zurich 24h Nürburgring 2016

    I wanted to go to Nürburgring for a very long time. In 2014 I even accredited to the same 24h race, but was unable to go. This time everything went smoothly and I experienced what is the toughest 24h race in the world. It’s hard in general, so when heavy showers, hail and fog hits the track – it all ads up. I was able to make sunny pictures only during the morning training. After morning practice it was time for the WTCC. I will make a separate post about them later on. Now it was time for the main race.…

    When sun sets low and racing stops, you can usually find these tired racing beasts at the garage or in the pits. It’s a good time to make a few spontaneous snaps of them.

  • NEZ DRIFT // ESTONIA / 2015

    North European Drift championship. Few years ago it was most anticipated event in our parts of the world. Now it seems that it has grown into Baltic championship where few Scandinavians are competing for fun. Still almost 40 competitors arrived to put on a show.

Eduard Vahemets made a guest appearance with his Mustang. 3. Juha Pöytälaakso brought his E92 smoke machine. 4. Max Power! 5. Martin Vaga was showing strong runs all day. 6.

    101 Pictures from the DTM Festival

    When you’re not a full-time motorsport photographer, you face a number of difficulties: you don’t know, will you actually get an accreditation or not, you need to find a publication and, usually, you spend own money on travel. Around 10 days before the event I got an email that I’m approved for DTM at Hockenheimring. In this case it’s best not to turn down the opportunity, which I didn’t – so I packed my bags and went to shoot German Touring Masters for the second time in my life. I like Hockenheimring and how it is situated. Comfortable flight to Frankfurt and…
