I find it harder and harder to find something I feel is worth sharing, but the photos that Laurent Nivalle took at the Le Mans Classic are something I really enjoyed. Car photography is something of an interesting topic that leads to some points that we’ve come to believe. There are two types of photographs of cars, the ones you take to look at the car, and ones that treat the car as part of a greater picture.
Ok so I think I might be a little tired and thus blabbing. But basically I love the cinematic feel of Laurent’s photos. You can check out my favourites after the jump or see the whole gallery here.

After our escapades to the Core Series final on Sunday, last night we dropped by the monthly JDMST Brisbane meet to see what these guys get up to. Reports were that last time over 150 cars turned out, so expectations were high. Needless to say, we weren’t disappointed with plenty of cars turning up. It’s nice to see there’s a move away from the candy paints, giant chrome wheels and airbrushing that seems to dominate the Australian scene. We didn’t bother taking too many shots because aside from there being plenty of guys that shoot all night, we’re still a grip on shooting in different settings.
Big thanks to Riley and Rory for making us feel welcome, and to all the guys and gals that grabbed some stickers cheers. I’m sure there were plenty of “what the…” reactions from those who found P4 stickers shoved under their windscreen wipers, but hey we’re shameless.
For more pics and future event info you can head to JDMST or check out Downshift Aus.

The other week saw the most recent running of the Pikes Peak hill climb. Whilst much of the track is paved nowadays, the course is still insane. Ride along with Jeff Zwart in his Porsche GT3 as he sets a new class record. Video comes care of Will Roegge.

I’m honestly trying to find something worth posting but I think I’ve become too cynical. I can’t even scrounge enough stuff together to do consistent Top Ten posts (I’m getting close to having enough for a new one though). As a result the blog has been pretty dead recently, which we’re both sorry for but I’m sure you can identify with the lack of truly interesting stuff in streetwear lately that hasn’t been done 800 times already. It’s probably more a result of being bombarded with new products every day over the last 3 years.
In the mean time, you can go for a (sighting) lap around the famous Circuit De La Sarthe in one of the best sounding race cars in the world, a GT2 Corvette C6.R. Chuck it on HD, turn the sound up full blast and try not to have a huge grin for the next six and a half minutes.

It’s no secret that I’m a complete sucker for some car racing, and the Le Mans 24 Hours is the pinnacle of motor racing. Every year over 50 cars hit the public highway in France to compete in the most gruelling sports car race in the world. Because I don’t have any friends, I plan on spending as much time as I can watching the race (dad had to go and be born on Le Mans weekend…jeez) The racing will be broadcast on channel ONE in HD for a few hours, as well as Eurosport on Foxtel for 22 of the 24 hours.

I posted about this collaboration between Jeff Koons and BMW a little while ago, and just a week ahead of the race it will be competing in, the 17th BMW Art Car has been unveiled. I’ve noted before that Jeff Koons is an artist whose work I’ve admired for a while, and I really like his livery design for the M3 GT2. This car carries the tradition of BMW Art Cars at Le Mans and I’ll be supporting them for the GT2 win. I’m sure they’ll have stiff competition in the GT2 category this year, especially with the infamous Corvette Racing crew competing in the lower class now.

Great short movie from Tim Hahne catching all the drama of the brutal Nurburgring 24 Hours endurance race run a few weeks ago. For the motorsport nerds there’s some very familiar faces throughout. Almost makes me want a Canon 5D… Almost…
June 12-13 is the 24 Heuers Du Mans and most of it will be televised on ONE and Eurosport… No sleep for me that weekend then!
- t, the video is best watched in HD of course

There’s a few things about the newly announced Livestock x Ferrari x Puma pack that really annoy me. Rather than subjecting everyone that reads the site to my mindless drivel, I’ll post my thoughts after the jump.
