This is the big one: who deserves to be crowned the 2010 Speedhunters Car of the Year? This new award pits the winners of each category against one another, irrespective of their genre or discipline. Each nominee was chosen by you in our month-long voting frenzy. It's certainly a diverse selection of cars and we [...]
Here's a quick submission from Wellington, New Zealand. Speedhunters reader Aaron Beck works as a Senior Concept Artist, and was recently a Lead Designer on Mad Max 4. He sent us some images of the model cars scattered around his workplace. Of course his collection includes the obligatory Mad Max Interceptor. Aaron also modified this [...]
I know I'm not the only one who has a love affair with the P10 chassis Nissan Primera (Infiniti G20 stateside). I was browsing through the Primera section of Minkara this morning when I came across the black car you see here. This one is rocking an SR20DET swap, big brakes, one-off suspension, and a [...]

The thing that I really like about the Speedhunters Awards is that they have all been decided by you, the people. We’ve spent the past few days collating the thousands of votes that have been cast, and it’s now time to start unveiling the winners. The overwhelming favourite in Concept Car of the Year was [...]
Le Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans is without doubt the biggest motor race in the world. The Indianapolis 500 may have more spectators on the day or at least it did when it had relevance. There may be bigger yachts moored at Monaco with even bigger egos on display, during the Grand Prix but Le [...]
A year is a long time to fight for something. But to stand on the top of that podium as the best in your motorsport discipline is a fight which results in the champagne tasting so much sweeter than it ever has. It's time to choose which one of these champions is the best of [...]
Just a couple days left in Collectables month, but the cool reader material keeps popping up. Christian from Germany sent us this photo of his 1/20 scale Aoshima Honda Life Step Van. Christian added some personality to the little micro van by slamming it, adding some 1/24 scale Rays Garcia Tune Choppy wheels, and some [...]

While browsing through several forums I came across this Chrysler 300C. In Europe we are used to small cars so you can spot these cars very easily on the highway. I have always liked the original look of the 300C, but when you dip it in a VIP cocktail it can look like this. The [...]

While the attention of the SpeedHunters’ Tribe when focused on sportscar track action natuarlly gravitates towards the GT battles, witness the scale of coverage on this site, there is, of course, another side to that form of racing. The Prototypes. The contest is played out at the sharp end of the field and in the [...]
I was pretty excited that this month's Speedhunters theme was collectables. Having just being forced to hang up my racing boots due to other commitments, I had recently discovered the joys of building model cars instead. While I certainly don't consider myself to be an expert, I thought it could be a cool idea to [...]
Here is a second selection of my favorite pictures from 2010. It's been an extremely busy year with lots of traveling but seeing these pictures reminds me it was all well worth it! Above – D1 Grand Prix Round 4, Okayama Circuit, Okayama-ken – Kawabata doing one of his famous rear-end-first entries. It all [...]
World Time Attack Challenge, Sydney, Australia: 2010 has by far been the best year of my life, not least because I turned 18! It's quite amazing to search through terabytes of images over the duration of the year. A main highlight of 2010 would have to be the World Time Attack Challenge which was held back in May, [...]
As 2010 heads to its end I've been spending the last few quiet days reminiscing through all the events and cars I've shot in the last 12 months. I've driven all over Japan's Honshu island covering the best this country has to offer the enthusiast, striving to give you a true and authentic look at [...]
Picking up where I left off last week, I want to continue sharing some of my motoring-themed comics from Japan. Although I've have had long-lasting love affair with Japanese pop culture, I've never been particularity into anime, manga, and things like that. Throw some automobiles in though, and everything changes. I've only managed to find [...]
