  • History of Drifting at Goodwood Festival of Speed

    Drifting is a common sight in most countries these days. Even Charles Gordon-Lennox, Earl of March and Kinrara invites them to pollute his backyard with Asian tire smoke during a classy event called Goodwood Festival of Speed. Drift cars are mixing with F1, legendary Group C Le Mans prototypes and DTM cars just fine. Only difference between three-time Formula D champion Chris Forsberg and Sir Jackie Stewart is that the first one is more accessible and friendly in the paddock area.

  • Formula D // Wall Speedway / General Thoughts

    I was dreaming to come and photograph Formula D for quite some years and 2016 was the year for me. FD at Wall Speedway neatly fitted to my holidays in New York. I jumped into a rental and drove those 100 miles to New Jersey state jumping few road tolls on the way (why nobody warns that there maybe no one in the booth and that only exact coins are accepted?) I’m a bit spoiled with FD drivers in general, meeting and seeing half of them in action on different European circuits, but when it all comes together – it’s…
