  • 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO – How Does a 72M$ Car Look Like

    To put it simply, it looks like an old Ferrari with gorgeous design. What makes it special is that only 39 were ever made. GTO stands for “Gran Turismo Omologato” – yes, it’s a 60s racing car. There are many stories connected to this model, so you can Google those. What struck me was that the car stood on the lawn without any barricades, security and even no sniper on the roof near by – anyone could come close and even touch it (small kids were particularly fond of doing this). This weekend this exact car (chassis 4153 GT )…

You can feel that there’s a good reason that it takes Kazunori Yamauchi and the whole team of Polyphiny Digital years to release every version of Gran Turismo franchise.

  • Gran Turismo Baltica // Auto24ring / 2015

    I’m already used that in the end of July I get to shoot some supercars at Auto24ring. Gran Turismo Baltica have been coming to this circuit for four times now and always attracts plenty spectators. 2. Organisers themselves say that the race track in Pärnu is one of the finest in Eastern Europe, so event is always fully booked. 3. Finest supercars come to the track 4. I photographed this event a bit differently this time, almost didn’t use my trusty 70-200 and put pressure on the other equipment that I have and that I don’t use most of the…
