  • American Beauty Car Show // 2016

    American Beauty Car Show in Haapsalu was always one of my favourite events on the year, just because of the aura it brings to this small city in Western Estonia. I won’t bore you a lot with details, I wrote all that in previous years here. For photographer’s point of view, what’s happening on the streets is more interesting than what is at the show venue. Two takeaways I made: 1) Estonians started building hotrods based on american cars 2) pinstriping got more popular. Enjoy the gallery! ON THE STREETS IN THE CASTLE

  • Fastest Corvette C2 in the world

    I’ve photographed this 1965 Corvette few years ago on a very hot sunny day, so hot in fact that my shoes were getting glued to the tarmac. Owner (Kimmo “SIX-5” Nevalainen) bought it around 10 years ago, fully rebuilt it, repainted it, changed everything. Car is built for multi-purpose, it’s good in corners, good on drag strip and at a car show. In April Kimmo improved his World Record run (fastest C2 Corvette) for Standing Mile – 201.3 MPH (323.96 KMH) He drove it on Le Mans track, at Nordschleife, Hockenheim, etc. Engine is aV8 400cui that goes to 7000 rpm, 1000+ hp

  • 24 Hours of Le Mans // Entertaining Statistics / 2015

    As some of you know, I’m not only a motorsport photographer, but an Internet marketer that loves analytics. In a recent press release from World Endurance Championship (WEC) I read that the latest edition of Le Mans 24 hour race attracted 263 500 spectators, the biggest in the past 20 years. Here are some interesting statistics (and my pictures from 2014) that I got from WEC: Spectators at the circuit – 263 500 spectators at the circuit, 200 more than in 2014. – 30 100 spectators at the first day’s practice (Wednesday 10th June), 56 000 the second (Thursday 11th…
