As part of our commitment to shine the spotlight on more up and coming photographers, this we week we are proud to introduce you to the work of Alexis Goure. The 26 year old from Le Mans in France recently graduated from the IAE of Toulouse with a masters in Marketing. However, Alexis is currently focused on developing his career as a motorsport photographer. As you will see from the following, he’s a dab hand at it too…
It’s right back at Daikoku PA now for a final look at the other day’s supercar gathering. During the few hours that I was there I literally never stopped walking around, because as cars left, more kept coming in. By around lunch time the lot was so full that a many were forced to park [...]
It’s not often that I go to Daikoku PA during daytime, but a couple of days ago I made an exception. I’d heard that a lot of supercars and various car clubs would be holding a meeting across a series of parking areas, starting off at Tsuzuki in Yokohama and eventually ending up at the [...]
I can’t speak for everyone out there, but for me 2012 has been a remarkable year. I think when I look back on my career (or even my life in general) decades from now, I’ll see a clear turning point that happened this year. A very large part of this change has been the once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity [...]
I’m glad the Super GT Set Up post was so well received, obviously this is one area of the vast Japanese motorsport scene that is unanimously appreciated. That’s great because I have a little more to show you from my walk along the pits, starting off with a shot of the mean Raybrig HSV-101GT, one [...]
Super GT is a series I had almost forgotten about, put on the side if you will, as I got on with my job of featuring and covering the bread & butter of the Japanese car culture. You see way before I became part of the Speedhunters project, before SH actually even exited, I used [...]
Sometimes feeling confused is a good thing. Let me elaborate; for us Speedhunters feeling a little disoriented at events or shops means we are usually surrounded by a lot of goodness, goodness that plays havoc with our brain making it hard for us to decide where exactly where we should begin our coverage. This is [...]
The weather decided to play in parallel across the hemispheres last weekend. As the drifters in D1 show-boated around Odaiba (and even the American Le Mans Series regulars initially paddled in the rain at Long Beach in California), so the GT racers in the Blancpain Endurance Series prepared themselves for a race around the lake [...]
If you’re like me you just can’t stop looking at this amazing machine… With it’s hard angles and magnificent paint who wouldn’t want another look? So I figured the only thing to do to was to offer up some high res desktops. Get your fix of desktop images by clicking the thumbnails below. More Lamborghini [...]

I am not a “morning person.” In fact, I’m about as far from it as one can get. I can count on my hands how many things in this world I view worthwhile enough to get up before 10AM for, let alone 4:45AM. The opportunity to drive and photograph a limited edition track day Lamborghini [...]
There couldn’t have been a better start to the World GT1 campaign for the Speedhunters-backed WRT Audi team: the cars finished first and second in this afternoon’s Qualifying Race at Nogaro, after starting second and third on the grid. The #32 Audi R8 LMS of GT veteran Stephane Ortelli and single-seater convert Laurens Vanthoor came [...]
There’s just one more week until the opening round of the 2012 Blancpain Endurance Series: it’s the place for GT racers to compete en masse in proper, long-distant sportscar races. Pre-season testing has been recently been completed down at the Paul Ricard High Technology Test Track near the Mediterranean coast of France and the cars [...]
Returning from a cold and wet – but excellent and exciting – European Rallycross event in the UK, it was great to see that the WRT Audi team have managed to complete another 1-2 in the FIA World GT1 Championship opening round at Nogaro in France. That means maximum points for the teams and drivers, [...]
The #50 AF Corse crew of Francesco Castellacci and Federico Leo held onto their Drivers’ Championship lead at the end of the final FIA European GT3 race of the 2011 season, taking fourth position as the flag dropped at the end of 35 laps of the Zandvoort track – enough to clinch the championship for [...]
When you are around the GT3 cars for a while you start to notice a lot of different approaches that teams have taken to build their car. I have seen our own BMW Z4 taken apart and rebuilt again several times. But the other cars on the grid are still some sort of a mystery [...]
