As a photographer, I find myself drawn to cars that look great when captured in still photographs. This is apparent in any motorsport discipline I find myself photographing –be it ALMS, FIA GT, Land Speed Racing, or pro drifting. In Formula D, I have a personal list of cars I find myself shooting all the [...]
We've reached the end of another busy month Speedhunting, and that means it's time to go through the scraps and give you guys a little bonus action from our shoots this month. Let's get things started right away with this sideways Miata at All Star Bash. Another scene from ASB. Stickers anyone? A quick tire [...]
For the better part of the "noughties", the popular German car magazine Sport Auto has been holding an event at Hockenheimring called the sport auto Tuner Grand Prix. The event was akin to a Time Attack event, where a grid of mostly European tuner cars competing for overall and class fastest times. It also included [...]
After a titanic struggle between the #33 Audi and #76 BMW lasting 13 hours of the 24-hour race, the Belgian WRT Audi team won the Spa 24 Hours – less then five minutes ahead of the trio of Team Need For Speed drivers in their BMW Z4. ? Both WRT R8 LMSs finished in the [...]
I have been up for 30 hours now. I am not sure how much longer I can hold out but I am more zombie than photographer at this point. I am still happy as a clam and I would not have had it any other way. The weekend started out very wet… …and it stayed [...]
I'm feeling pretty grimy right now. I really need to eat something, wash my face, and change my clothes. More importantly I could really use a shower right now… and sleep… lots of it. But like the teams who are currently pushing themselves to last the 1 and a half odd hours to the finish [...]
? We're over two-thirds of the way through the race now: it's after 9am here in Belgium, the sun is up – somewhere there behind all the cloud that still cloaks the circuit that is – and now it's the race to the flag. Just the seven hours to go… Up front it's still the [...]
The summer X Games has become the event of the summer to watch for a good portion of America’s youth. It’s every popular action sport packed into one weekend. There’s skateboarding, BMX, motocross, and the newest addition to the games, rally cross. Last year, the X Games Rally portion was held in the Los Angeles [...]
I thought it would be nice to show you guys a different side of the 24hrs of Spa. I’ve been sitting here, working all night with the Speedhunters crew in the media center prepping our stories and photographs. From our vantage point we can see the headlights in the distance, racing through the night. [...]
I am proud to say that it is hour 11 and I have yet to fall asleep. At around 11pm Belgian time the sky lit up with all sorts of colors from a firework show. Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see any of it. Drivers made more and more mistakes as darkness fell. The [...]
Normally when we do these big Speedhunting trips, I take the time to meticulously plan out all our story deliverables. Each of the Speedhunters on site: myself, Larry, Jonathan and Jeroen all have very specific jobs to do on site, and time shifts to allow deep, around the clock coverage of this epic Belgian motorsport [...]
On lap two the #59 McLaren MP4-12C driven by Andrew Kirkaldy, crashed at turn one. He was transported to the hospital immediately with light back pain. Let's hope he's ok. Larry

I am giddy as a school girl since this is the first time I am covering a 24 hour race. Everything I have heard about this event is true. The amazing scenery and the even more amazing cars just blow me away everywhere I look. This is the beginning of a long and exciting weekend. [...]
Those of you who can't make it out to the Spa 24Hs today will be able to follow all the action from the comfort of home. We'll be launching a live video stream here on Speedhunters closer to the race start time in around 2.5 hours. You can also follow along our Twitter channel where [...]

One lucky contest winner got to ride in Ken Block's RallyX Ford Fiesta from Los Angeles International Aiport under police escort to the X Games in downtown LA –a 25 minute freeway hop. The word cool doesn't even suffice to describe that situation. Though one lucky person got to experience the real thing, the rest of [...]
