When I started writing this post I figured it would be a great to include the exact amount of photos I shot this entire year. Well I got halfway and realized that it might as well be one trillion, because that was how many it felt like I had shot. This past year was a growing year [...]
Well guys, this is it, the very last hours of 2012. In fact, some of you will already be reading this in the new year. Very soon the site will return to our usual schedule of awesome feature cars and event coverage, but before we dive into 2013 I wanted to take one last look [...]
Well Speedhunters, two-thousand-twelve is very nearly over and the remaining days on the calendar are few. Fortunately the Armageddon never came and my mind is already looking ahead at how to make 2013 even better, but before I can clear off my plate to focus on the new year there are still two more posts [...]
Held at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, this year star-studded line-up of drivers at the Race Of Champions included three-time Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel, seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher, two-time MotoGP Champion Jorge Lorenzo, three-time World Touring Car Champion Andy Priaulx, eight-time Le Mans 24 Hour race-winner Tom Kristensen, four-time V8 Supercar [...]
Hello Speedhunters fans! It’s been a while since my last blog from the Spa 24 Hours. Well, my season has now finally come to an end. It was supposed to be over after the finale in the Blancpain Endurance Series at Navarra in Spain, but plans changed and I did two more races before the [...]
It was the home stretch… the sun was still barely above the horizon and there were just a short five hours left in one of the most grueling endurance races there is. This was the hero shot: Speedhunters’ very own Edward Sandström, who had traveled all the way from Europe to help the Honda Research West team [...]
I was really excited to cover the 25 Hours Of Thunderhill, as I have heard about the race for years. It is relatively local to me (a seven-hour drive), so I figured this would be the perfect time to see what all the fuss was about. According to the guys who have been coming for years, I [...]
It’s a very modern world we’re living in today and technology is advancing at an alarming rate. Chances are that the device you just pulled out of your pocket to read this very post on has more computing power than the F1 paddock in the ’90s. This never ending desire for improvement is human nature [...]
For years I have been watching Best Motoring and Video Option DVDs, so I have always been a huge fan of Japanese racing culture. I got familiar with drivers like Keiichi Tsuchiya, Manabu Orido,Tarzan Yamada and Nobuteru Taniguchi. Every one of these personalities had a huge impact on bringing Japanese racing culture to America. In 2001 Nobuteru Taniguchi became the [...]
Here’s to the crazy ones. Here’s to the racers all over the world: the professionals, the amateurs, the once-in-a-lifetimers who get out on the circuit no matter the conditions and do what they love doing, no matter the car, the opposition or the track. Here’s to the teams; there seems to be no such thing [...]
I’ve been to a considerable amount of races all over the world, but nothing could have prepared me for the Macau Grand Prix. The uniqueness of this street race comes from the nature of the course. To the locals it is known as Circuito da Guia. To put it lightly, this track is a little rough around the [...]
This year marks the 59th running of the Macau Grand Prix and this will be my very first year covering this historic race, so there’s lots of catching up to do. I arrived in town a few days before the race, fresh from covering Super Taikyu in Japan. As soon as I stepped off the [...]
What’s your favorite brand of car? It seems a simple enough question, but for the petrol head the answer is anything but. While my particular response will probably vary from day to day, the brand most likely to be named would be Porsche. Although I cannot afford to own one (yet), Porsche is a brand [...]
I checked the weather forecast for Round 6 of Super Taikyu a week ahead of time, and it clearly stated that it was going to rain. All the teams knew it and the fans knew it too, but come race-day there were still hundreds upon hundreds of cars packed with fans waiting to get in. They didn’t [...]
Super Taikyu is Japan’s second largest endurance racing series after Super GT. However, where Super GT only has two classes, Super Taikyu has six classes: from ST5, which is mostly comprised of Toyota Yaris’, to GT3, which this year has been dominated by the twin Petronas Syntium Mercedes SLS machines. Lucky for me the Petronas team are big fans [...]
