Before we round up our stories from the 2012 Nürburgring 24 Hours here’s a final batch of desktops. To close off the coverage we’ll have an insider’s look at the race week coming up courtesy of Speedhunters WRT Audi driver Edward Sandström. Edward will be taking us through the Nürburgring 24 Hours from his arrival [...]
With the Hellaflush Kansai event pretty much wrapped up after the awards were handed out by Mark, I decided to hang around a little longer… …and check out the cars from the main paddock head out. After looking at parked cars the whole day, hearing engine sounds truly added to the experience, especially when it [...]
As promised, I’ve gone ahead and uploaded some high resolution desktops from last Saturday’s Eagle Field Drags for you and your computer’s enjoyment.
Among the images available are the scene above of a sweet Willys Gasser coming out of the hole…
The F40 is a car that has over the last 25 years held its head high against the constant flow of supercars that countless manufacturers have released. It may no longer be the fastest or the most technologically advanced, but its simple formula of putting the driver at the center of its performance has cemented [...]
This upcoming weekend is considered by many to be the greatest weekend for race fans all year.
There are three massive events held over the weekend and we wanted to ask the Speedhunters audience which of these races they’ll be tuning in to watch.
A visit to the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona is an absolute must for fans of both drag racing and automotive history in general. Packed into the museum is a fantastic collection of historic drag cars that represent every era of the sport, but it’s not just the full size cars that need to be seen.
The museum also includes an amazing display drag racing history through a collection of lovingly built scale models.
I consider myself a very realistic person; I keep my feet on the ground at all times and get on with the job at hand. I also consider myself a very lucky individual in that I am actually able to have a job that allows me to indulge in my unrelenting passion for cars. Since [...]
What’s up Speedhunters, It’s been a while! My last blog here was after FD Vegas last September, over eight months ago. I was ready for a break though, as two seasons of the same blog format definitely had an impact on my enthusiasm for the process.
I’m excited to be back and talking with you all again. There is so much to talk about.
Somehow the Speedhunters of mainland China keep up with the happenings in the motoring world even though websites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are blocked. It’s weird how the government selects which sites to block and which sites to allow. For example, my personal website is blocked for some reason, but luckily for the Chinese [...]
I’ve been planning to write this story for some years now, but I kept putting it off. I always tried to make an excuse that I didn’t have the images I needed, or I needed more research, or that I didn’t know the track well enough. Truth be told, you can never accurately portray just [...]
When I headed up the San Francsico Bay Area last month to meet with Sunny Liang and his Reader Car of the Year-winning 240Z, we decided to meet up at Performance Options. This is Sunny’s neighborhood shop, and a place he can be found at regularly having work done on his Z or just hanging [...]
After wandering for hours through the main paddock at Hellaflush Kansai, I headed across to the other secondary display area that was set up. With so many cars participating… …space at Central Circuit was definitely at a premium and if you consider that most spectators showed up with awesome cars too…the parking lots were also [...]
While Jonathan Moore is still recovering and bringing you guys the action from an exhausting weekend at the Nurburgring, I will be once again handling the Week in Pictures.
There’s lots of cool stuff to see, so let’s jump right into to our look at some of the past week’s happenings in the automotive world.
There is no doubting the popularity of the sport of drifting today. It took just one live action feature film staring Jay Chou for drifting to spread through all of China. Imagine having government-backed drift events with packed attendance and in venues that are Olympic worthy. Well, that is exactly what you have in the port [...]
There was a whole lot more going on at the Nürburgring than the fastest 30-odd GT3-spec cars battling at the front for 24 hours. In the build-up to the race there was a whole slew of events to keep the fans entertained – and that’s just as well, as at the Nürburgring 24 Hours there [...]
