Vauhtiajot Drifting & Tuning Show 2018 @ Kapernaumi - 21st of July - Seinäjoki, Finland

Here's photos from a one day trip I made to Seinäjoki in July to their local racing event called Vauhtiajot. Vauhtiajot is a festival which combines motorsports and music. It is held in two locations. Street circuit where all of the racing takes place is build to the industrial area of Kapernaumi near the city center of Seinäjoki. I visited the event on Saturday and only bought tickets for that day's track event. The track event continued also on Sunday but since I only stayed there for one day I had to skip it 😐

Five classes, which are Legends, BMW Extreme, V1600, Touring Cars and Gran Turismo, competed at the track during the weekend. There was also a car show and few exhibitions such as drifting and drag racing during breaks. Most of the photos I took are from the car show and pit area. I felt that it was a bit too difficult to spectate the races and see what is going on at the track if you weren't sitting in a grandstand. So I wish there would have been more of them. I uploaded one clip of the Gran Turismo cars driving in the circuit when they had their practice session to my Instagram account. I'll see if I can make another one of the drifting exhibition. Look out for that 😊

Turku AutoSaloon & Drifttime Shakedown 2018 @ Itäparkki, Skanssi - 14th of July - Turku, Finland

Here's few photos which I took while visiting this year's Turku AutoSaloon. Event was held in a parking garage of a shopping center called Skanssi in Turku. It was my first visit to this show and I was positively surprised by it. The venue was great and there were a lot of room to look around all of the cars. There was also a lot of variety in cars which I enjoyed. Few of my favorites were Porsche 911, Opel Kadett C, oval era VW Beetle, DeTomaso Pantera GTS and supercharged Dodge Challenger.

Event also included drifting exhibitions and a Gymkhana style competition. Track was laid down to the roof of the parking garage. Here's video clips from the competition I posted on my Instagram 😊

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

EPUA Drifting 2018 @ Ala-Talkkari Areena - 26th of May - Lapua, Finland

Here's a throwback to EPUA Drifting event held in Lapua at the end of May. One day event gathered a lot of people to watch drifting at the Ala-Talkkari Areena. Event was not part of the Finnish championships but many of the pro drivers from that series participated to it. You can find few video clips (#1 & #2) from my Instagram account. Next Saturday I will be traveling to Kokkola and visiting Venetsia Drifting and cover that event later so stay tuned for that 😊
