Simracing and real-life photographer.
Mainly cars and bikes, but also the occasional nature shots!
It's been a while since I've posted here, so let's get this going again :)

The 2023 LotusEmira, photographed in Forza Horizon 5.

400hp is milked from the 3.5L Supercharged V6, all brought to the rear wheels via a classic 6-speed manual.

A classic recipe for fun that proved itself countless times in the Elise, Exige and Evora.
And it does so once again, in the Emira.

The 1975 Citroen DS23, photographed in Forza Horizon 5

A timeless classic.

The 2020 Saleen Sportruck XR Black Label, photographed in Forza Horizon 5.

For those who find the Ford F150 a bit boring, there's the Sportruck XR.
With a 775hp 5.0L V8 it's certainly no slouch, and with a completely overhauled suspension, it's one of the most competent offroaders on the market.

The 1970 #3 Porsche 917 LH, photographed in Forza Horizon 5.

This specific 917 LH was raced by Martini Racing at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it managed to secure a second-place finish.

The car was designed as a low-drag spec of the 917, rocketing itself to a 386km/h top speed at Le Mans.

The 2010 Porsche 911 "Sport Classic", photographed in Forza Horizon 5.

The Sport Classic hit the ground 2010, designed as a limited-run of only 250 cars, with elements taken from previous, classic 911 models.

The 2019 Porsche 935, photographed in Assetto Corsa Competizione.

Released as a hommage to the famous Porsche 935/78 "Moby Dick", the Porsche 935 was built ontop of the existing 911 GT2 RS (991.2).
Originally meant for just trackdays and clubsport events, it eventually went racing!

The 2016 Pagani Huayra BC, photographed in Assetto Corsa.

The Huayra BC lends its "BC" initials to Benny Caiola, the very first Pagani customer.
Pagani decided to completely rebuild the Huayra, making it the most technologically advanced Pagani yet.

The McLaren 720s GT3, photographed in Assetto Corsa Competizione.
January 21, 2024 at 2:17 PM
The 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS, photographed on the Hot Wheels track in Forza Horizon 5.

340hp of 3.4L Flat-6 fun sent directly to the rear wheels means performance that'll make a 911 sweat to keep up.

Compare the two and it really is just a question of "where would you like your engine to be?".

The 2003 Panoz LMP01 Evo, at Road America, in Assetto Corsa.

The final rendition of Panoz' Le Mans Prototype racer, which competed in the LMP900 class.
Due to being outdeveloped by their rivals, the car was sadly never competitive in its final season, and was ultimately retired after 2003.
January 12, 2024 at 4:34 PM
The 1937 Auto Union Type C, photographed at Fonteny in Assetto Corsa.

Outfitted with a 6.0L V16 sending 520bhp to the rear wheels, in a tub only weighing 750kg, meant this was a pure pre-war deathtrap.
Few drivers dared push this car to its limits, as it most certainly meant an inevitable death.

The 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS, photographed in Forza Horizon 5.

With the launch of the 718-generation Cayman, the fourth gen of Cayman was upon us.
This time using a 2.5L F4 engine instead of the beloved 3.4L F6 from the previous gen.

A change that did not go without the necessary criticism...

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4, photographed at Oulton Park, in Assetto Corsa Competizione.

The natural evolution of a car made for GT racing, it's the little brother of the V8 Vantage GT3.
Built to comply with the FIA GT4 regulations, it has tasted victory in almost every championship it entered.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie, photoghraphed in Forza Horizon 5.

With the Valkyrie, AM brings a new competitor to the hypercar market.
It's as close as you'll ever feel to sitting in a Formula One car thanks to Aston's partnership with Red Bull Advanced Technology.

Road-legal, space-age engineering.

The 2003 Bentley Speed 8, photographed at Mosport, in Assetto Corsa

The Bentley Speed 8 was unleashed to the public in 2001, marking Bentley's return to racing after a 73-year long absence.
And what a return it was, winning the 24hrs of Le Mans overall on its third attempt in 2003.

The 1967 Ferrari 330 P4, photographed at Monza in Assetto Corsa.

Replacing the 330 P3 in the Ferrari bloodline, it had big shoes to fill after it won Spa and Monza in 1966.
Sporting a radically updated 450hp 4.0L V12, the engine famously helped the car sing itself to a 1-2-3 finish at Daytona.

The 1964 Austin Mini Cooper S "FIA App.K".

Full race configuration based on the "Application K" FIA regulations, for pre-'66 touring car racing.

125hp to the front wheels in a box only weighing 620kg meant it was a fierce competitor!

The 1991 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R (Type A), photographed in Assetto Corsa.

A timeless classic.
December 15, 2023 at 9:20 AM
The Vision Automobiles Paris "Vision 1789", photographed in Assetto Corsa.

A quirky concept which, outfitted with a 1000hp V8 that runs on both biomethane and hydrogen, aimed to bring the Le Mans experience to the road.
The concept was co-developed with three 24 hours of Le Mans competitors.

The 2022 Gordon Murray Design T.50, photographed in Forza Horizon 5.

Gordon Murray once again delivering Automotive Art.

The 2021 Pagani Huayra R, photographed in Forza Horizon 5.

A beautiful mix between ridiculous and ridiculously fun.

The Porsche 911 4.0 by Singer, photographed in Assetto Corsa.

A stunning piece of kit!
