  • 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…

  • Interview with Caitlin

    Caitlin Ting is one of those people who show us what happens at World’s best drifting events via photography. She was involved in OMGdrift project until it closed down. I had the opportunity to talk with her. We discussed drifting, video games, Walt Disney and history. – Where are you from? Westlake Village, California – What are you working on at the moment? I’m currently working on plans for the Formula Drift 2017 season, plans for 2017 for myself and photography outside of drifting, editing photos from my most recent shoot, and planning some different lifestyle shoots. – How would you describe yourself?…

  • 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…

  • HGK Drift Challenge 2016

    Latvian drift car builders HGK Motorsport definitely gained additional respect over this weekend. Not only they brought Formula D drivers (Ryan Tuerck, Chelsea Denofa and Matt Powers) to race at Bikernieki circuit, they also made killer configuration to the circuit itself. It seems that all available HGK cars were in action, Sergey Kabargin even brought his 1000kg Corvette to Europe for the first time. Ryan Tuerck got the E46 Kit Car that he drove back in 2013 when he visited for the first time. Chelsea Denofa was behind the wheel HGK’s fresh built – golden E92. Matt Powers, being a…

  • Interview with Daijiro

    Daijiro Yoshihara is one of the best drifters in the World, mostly recognised for winning 2011 Formula Drift Championship. He participated in US series from Day 1. I had the opportunity to talk with him. We discussed drifting, his car, stunt driving and team management. – Where are you from? – I’m from Hachioji Tokyo, Japan – Never thought going back to Japan and participating in D1? – Of course I have, but I’ve never had a chance. It’s hard to get support over there since all my sponsors are here in the U.S. It would be cool to participate one day! –…
