Rally Estonia 2018
Read more: Rally Estonia 2018Rally Estonia is a commonly known as a shakedown event before the WRC Finland. I went to the local event for the first time and now I know exactly why is that. Estonian southern roads are a copy of finish stages. Same sort of green trees and bushes, and a very similar gravel, just more dusty. Basically, after doing few WRC Finland events and coming here – I rarely could spot a difference.. biggest one being that marshals spoke Russian. Since it is the event prior the big, fast and dangerous “10 000 Lake” event, WRC teams like to participate…

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…

“Park wasn’t my co-driver, I was his pilot”
Read more: “Park wasn’t my co-driver, I was his pilot”Today marks 10 years from the tragic accident that took the life away from Michael “beef” Park. For me it was the period when I was following WRC closely and was cheering Markko Märtin up as a future champion. Unfortunately at the end of 2005 season their car hit a tree at close to 200km/h on SS15 of Wales Rally great Britain and the accident was fatal. After the crash, an emotional Markko said: “Park wasn’t my co-driver, I was his pilot”. Year later, on 20th of June, WRC stars from all over the world came to Tallinn for memorial opening.

Estonian Rally Cross // Vasalemma / 2015
Read more: Estonian Rally Cross // Vasalemma / 2015You should consider this blog as my personal evolution timeline – my journey to becoming great motorsport photographer. That’s why I don’t limit myself with competitions I photograph. Donations and sponsorship is gladly accepted also, always. Basically, I prefer to point my camera at action that is naturally lit and creates an atmosphere, this is why drift or anything on gravel are the events that I prefer. This is how I can describe rally cross: dust, more dust with dirt and close fights in the dust. Also, I believe rally cross is a shortcut to becoming a good rally photographer: you see…
