One of the things that fascinates me most about car culture is the different ways automobiles are perceived and loved across the planet. The cars themselves be nearly identical physically, but as you visit new places you begin to see them in different ways. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution in particular is a car that will [...]
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, [...]
I’ve always known that the people from the United Arab Emirates were crazy about cars, but until my recent visit I never fully understood why. Of course people like you and I think car culture is cool and driving a car is the most fun you can have with your clothes on, but for local [...]
You know the feeling you get when you are at a club or concert and the music hurts your ears but you enjoy it anyway, even though you know your ears will be ringing in the morning? Well, it was that way for me when I was flooring this 591-horsepower Mercedes rocket through the tunnels [...]
I spend a lot of my time these days looking at stats. Whether it’s graphs showing how our Speedhunters EDTN daily sales are doing, readouts of live webstats, or weekly facebook reports, I make it my business to keep a snap shot of Speedhunters in my mind’s eye at all times. This helps me get [...]
Let’s not kid anybody: all of you Speedhunters out there have likely done some ‘spirited’ driving on the streets in one form or another. But we all know that it is very dangerous. Too much spirited driving on the streets is a very real problem in the UAE – especially in Dubai. In an effort [...]
Hello Speedhunters! I hope you’ve had a good holiday season and are looking forward to the new racing year. I've just returned from the Dubai 24 hours and have written up this driver's blog of my time in the UAE. One thing new for this year is that I arrived in Dubai as the reigning [...]
It's normally around this time of year, we would be returning from our adventures in the UAE, after shooting the Dubai 24HRs. However, due to time and budget constraints, the Speedhunters team had to give the event a skip this year. As much as we love the enduro in the desert, it just wasn't possible [...]
Edward: Okay let’s see what happened from early morning and the battle to the flag at 14:00 PM. I seem happy and it’s hard to not be when you’re in the lead. The true thing is that you don’t want too be too happy. So much can still happen and a small silly mistake can [...]
Tommy Milner: What's up SpeedHunters! Welcome to a two part blog about the Dubai 24 Hours from half of the winning driver lineup, Edward Sandstrom and myself, Tommy Milner. The Dubai 24 Hour race is, for some people, a warm up for the 2011 season and for others their biggest race of the season. I've [...]
I caught this image moments after the sun poked over the horizon to illuminate the grand vision that is the Dubai 24Hs. Team Need for Speed Schubert car number 76 continues to control the race from the front. Less than five hours to go! Pick up the high rez desktop to share the moment. :R

It's now around 06:30 in the morning here in Dubai and there's still around 7.5 hours left to run in this race… Think about that… it's a full days work yet to come. I wonder how the drivers are feeling after so many hours of racing. Hell I feel pretty rubbish right now. I thought [...]
We have over 14 hours of racing left in the Dubai 24Hs and I'm happy to report that Team Need for Speed Schubert is at the top of the leaderboard. We've had the race in hand for around the last four hours and are controlling the pace from the front, three laps ahead of 2nd [...]
