Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTM
Read more: Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTMWhen I attended my first Goodwood Festival of Speed I met face to face with around 50 of my dream cars. It’s very hard to say what car struck me the most: Rothmans Porsche 956 or a Ferrari 250 GTO or maybe this DTM prepped Alfa Romeo 155. First time I saw it in Gran Turismo computer game and it was my dream to see one in real life ever since. Seeing this car in some museum is one thing, but it’s a different experience to see it on track at race pace. Yes, car looks amazing, but best goodies…

BMW Museum / Munich
Read more: BMW Museum / MunichThere 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…

World Rally Cross 2016 // Latvia
Read more: World Rally Cross 2016 // LatviaEver since I’ve first visited a World Rally Cross event, I wanted to come back for more. This racing discipline is so packed with high adrenaline drama, that it’s impossible to not to ask for more. Round in Riga got on my radar from the moment World RX organisers published the calendar for their 2016 season. New country, new track and a new winner – as we got to know after the weekend, but let’s not hurry. Forecast was ambivalent: sun on Saturday and heavy rain on Sunday. Well, doesn’t happen often, but indeed, forecast was 100% correct. Saturday welcomed…

MY TOP 5 RACING STREAMS
Read more: MY TOP 5 RACING STREAMSI belong to a generation that watches news, different events and plain entertainment on Internet rather on a TV. I’m used to the idea that most of the action can be watched LIVE online. Here I made my personal Top 5 chart of the online racing streams I follow. 1) NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series This one is probably my favourite, even though I can’t check it live. Event is usually uploaded on the next day. The fact that it’s not live actually makes it even better, I’m able to fast-forward the slow parts: pre-staging, interviews, etc. American drag racing is…

101 Pictures from the DTM Festival
Read more: 101 Pictures from the DTM FestivalWhen 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…
