Going Undercover At The FlatSix Show

Michał Fidowicz — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 05:30:53 +0000

Normally I rock up to a car show in some sort of BMW. Those who’ve read my articles in the past will know that my alliances with the Bavarian titan are blood tight. Fidowicz with no BMW is like Christmas with no pine tree. But this time I’ve gone undercover. We’re going to infiltrate the […]

When An F1 Team Takes On Tin-Tops: The Williams BTCC Laguna

Chaydon Ford — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 05:30:10 +0000

With over a million people tuning in on a Sunday to watch their favourite drivers battle it out in the British Touring Car Championship, few other live sporting programs came close. To have Williams run Renault’s works team showed just how serious the French automaker was about winning. Williams had plenty of driver and constructor championships to their name in […]

Drift Masters Rd3: A Wild Ride In Finland

Vladimir Ljadov — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 06:30:26 +0000

Before I delve into DMEC 2023’s third round, let’s recap on what happened at Round 2. Piotr Więcek may have easily won the first round, but the Pole had a tough time in Sweden, dipping out in the Top 32. Meanwhile, Juha Rintanen raced to the top step of the podium. I really don’t know why Drift Masters took so […]

A Porsche 997 GT3 Carrying The Torch For Mid Night

Toby Thyer — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 03:30:02 +0000

And how many of us wished we could be a part of it? Admittedly, back in the day I was fantasising about joining the grunge band Nirvana, not an underground racing team in Japan. But despite the car culture bug biting me a bit later than some, the magnitude and history (spanning four decades now) of Mid Night […]

Campsite Curiosities At The Le Mans Classic

Michał Fidowicz — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 05:30:51 +0000

In Le Mans especially, regular hotel or AirBnB arrangements tend to be either ridiculously expensive or straight up unavailable due to scarcity. At the end of the day, the population of this city in northwestern France is just 140,000, so there really isn’t a need for a huge infrastructure of hotels only to be used […]

CE28N-Plus: RAYS Revitalize A Volk Racing Icon

Dino Dalle Carbonare — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 02:00:06 +0000

In fact, I’d go so far as to say that legendary models like the Volk Racing TE37 and CE28 represent far more than just original wheel designs; they are visual representations of the JDM tuning and racing scenes. Because nothing screams ‘Japan’ more than a car running a set of forged Volk Racing wheels. The CE28N […]

Car Crop Circles At EuroTreffen

Cian Donnellan — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 05:30:51 +0000

Big car show are great, but lately I’ve found myself enjoying the more chilled out vibes of smaller events. They have the atmosphere, people and the cars, but distill things down to a level that’s devoid of the panic and madness you find on a packed show floor. So what’s not to love?! Northern Ireland’s EuroTreffen is […]

7’s Day Japan 2023: A Rotary Celebration

Dino Dalle Carbonare — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 05:30:16 +0000

We’ve been covering this car culture spectacle since the very start of Speedhunters in 2008, and 15 years later the official unofficial gathering of RX-7s and other rotary-powered machinery still can’t be missed. Because, despite the fact that Mazda no longer produces a rotary-powered car, the passion surrounding the famed RX models is as strong as ever. As […]

Super Tourers: The Golden Age Revisited

Chaydon Ford — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 05:30:18 +0000

The budgets were astronomical and the drivers were rockstars, but the cars were relatable with production models they were based from found on most UK driveways. For many of us, the mere mention of Super Tourers conjures up images of tarmac-hugging cars, heated arguments and ultra-close racing. Understandably, touring cars have evolved in the time […]

Zero Lag: The MCRacing Twin-Charged Lancer Evo V

Rick Muda — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 05:30:34 +0000

Ok, so the bright green paintwork may have initially caught my eye, but it only took a split second look into the engine bay to know that I needed to shoot this very cool Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V GSR. The Evo is the work of Andre Pratama from MCRacing in Jakarta. While it’s technically not an MCR […]
