  • Drift Masters GP of Latvia 2018

    Drift Masters GP, biggest and wildest drift event in Europe. For the 3rd round the show moved to Riga, to the famous Bikernieki circuit. As with previous event I made a vlog together with my usual visual report. Hope you enjoy it and find somthing interesting there. Obviously I’m a noob in the fiend and just try different methods as I go forward. https://youtu.be/Ym_tUPucM1E In terms of photography, I mentioned this on the Wlog, I’m a bit tired of Bikernieki. I come here every year and it’s very hard to produce original content. I push myself and try to go to…

  • HGK Drift Challenge 2018

    Welcome to the Formula D round in Riga.. wait, no.. it’s the HGK Drift Challenge 2018. We’re all familiar with HGK Motorsport and their insane cars, so already for the third year they make their own cozy event. Mostly their drift customers are invited as well as few Formula D guys. This time frenemies Matt Field and Odi Bakchis got acquainted with the fierce Bikernieki circuit. Many agree that after Daigo Saito it was Kristaps Bluss who brought another big change to how Formula D cars are built. Carbon kevlar body panels are becoming the new norm for the sport…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Latvian Drift GP // Drift Allstars / 2015

    Drift Allstars in Riga, what to say.. Last time I was at Bikernieki I made 50 pictures and went away, thought that i’ve been too many times here, that all angles are same and done long time ago. At DA I spent two full days at the track, drivers brought inspiration with their car control and attitude. My memory is still overwhelmed with #gatebilexperience and seeing many familiar faces injected that extra bit of excitement. Seeing best polish drivers back to the series was a turn on for me as well. Also so many photographers turned up for the event.…
