  • American Car Show Helsinki 2018

    In my last year’s post I was deliberating, while I go to Helsinki or to Stockholm for Elmia show, but once again I ended up in Finland. It’s already a tradition for me to head to Helsinki on Easter weekend. Helsinki’s American Car Show (actually show consists of four exhibitions: american cars, tuning, motorbikes, motorsport) offers a great selection of builds every time, although there’s quite a lot of familiar cars at the show as well. Well, it’s good to catch up with old friends as well. The Cars corner I understand that these car clubs just take up space,…

  • HGK Drift Challenge 2017

    HGK Motorsport with Kristaps Bluss in particular made the best drift showcase event there is. Beautiful sunny day, action from the early morning and unforgettable battles. Exclusively for the blog I went a bit more behind the scenes/behind the backs/behind the track to show you some portraits, snaps and outtakes. Sadly I couldn’t take more pictures of Dennis Häggblom’s S2000, since he made a mistake in Top 32 and he took the role of spectator. S2000 is sicker than it ever was, proudly wearing that new carbon body. Composite materials was the unofficial theme of the event – three HGK…

  • Gatebil Rudskogen // 2016

    Just 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…

  • Estonian Drift GP // Drift Allstars / Outtakes

    When an event is close to your home, you’re able to devote more time to it. Especially when it’s one of the highlights of the year. This time I was writing the article for Speedhunters, I feel that I covered Estonian drift scene quite well without being boring or writing too much about it – it wasn’t a complete history of course, but probably I will try myself on something like that for the 10th Anniversary (I have all the material from Day 1). You can read Speedhunters story and check the main pictures HERE. Below you can see my…

    Gatebil Rudskogen // July / 2015

    I 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…
