When was the last time you guys stayed up for 24 hours? Easy right? Warning: this is when the nerd in me comes out. I used to stay up for 24 hours on a regular basis back in high school when I used to go to LAN parties. It was so easy to play video games through [...]
While the rest of the Speedhunters crew freezed their behinds off covering the Tokyo Auto Salon, my face was getting sun-burned and sandblasted as I was covering the Dunlop 24 Hours Of Dubai at the Dubai Autodrome in the United Arab Emirates. I arrived in Dubai tired as ever after a 15-hour trek from Los Angeles, [...]
The Nürburgring is an amazing circuit that surely needs no introduction, and it’s as difficult as it is rewarding not only for drivers but also photographers. Trudging through the mud, slipping and sliding and hiking through the woods and going up and down extreme grades can be tiring, but the pay-off is always undoubtedly worth [...]
Do you have a favorite event? It’s a question I get asked regularly enough, and a fair one too. We all have our favorites – cars, food, songs, movies, books etc. but rarely enough do these favorites spring to mind with no opposition. We need to think about them, as declaring something as our absolute favorite is almost a character defining declaration. If you were to ask me my favorite car, depending on the day and my humor at the particular time, you could get one of several answers. Ask me my favorite event regardless of the situation? There is only one answer – The Nürburgring 24 Hours.
Guten tag! At the end of last month, I experienced the race event of a lifetime. I'll do my best not to bore you with details and sentimental meaning… but naturally, there will be some dorkiness (disclaimer). As I sort through photos and footage, I'm reminded of just how lucky I am. To have had [...]
Ascension Day, 2010, Eifel Mountains, Germany. The conditions are grey, cold, misty and muddy. The campfires are burning brightly, the fans huddled round trying to stay warm, the beer is flowing like, well, like beer, it is Germany after all. If the environment is somewhat hostile the expectation is huge, both on and off the [...]
Hello Speedhunters! My name is Patrick Soderlund and I recently trekked out to the UAE to race in the Dubai 24Hs. We finished the race last year in fifth and came to the event with the goal of a podium finish. The competition for the 2010 edition of the race was tougher than last year, [...]
In conditions that ranged from monsoon to the height of summer via cold spring mornings, the 2009 edition of the Spa 24 Hours followed the usual pattern of the event in trying to bring a year's worth of weather to 24 hours in the Ardennes. The race was expected to be a run in the [...]
One weekend, two of the most beautiful circuits in the World and a bunch of cool guys. That pretty much sums up my weekend with Rod, Antonio and John. I really had one of the coolest automotive weekends of my live. I left real early on Friday morning and drove to Liege in Belgium [...]
The 24Hours of Spa-Francorchamps was just insane. Our resident sports car pro, John Brooks, will be posting up a more complete event report very soon, but for now I just thought you guys might like to see this moment I captured on pit lane. The Spa 24H was such an awesome experience. Prior to attending [...]

Hey everyone, we're here at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit in Belgium. The 2008 Total 24 Hours race at Spa is just about to begin, so I just thought I'd go up to the media center to show you all some photos of the on-track action over here. These particular pics were taken during practice [...]
