When a whole image is motion blue but a single happy Miata face, I think the sensation of speed is being pretty well-captured.

(Mostly) Nissan Drift Pack
A pack of Japanese sports cars going sideways in a haze of tire smoke should best be described as “driftacular”.
Flat Tire for Miata Roadster
The trajectories of the motion-blurred cars in the background make clear that, by contrast, something is not going right with this Miata roadster-class race car. The rapid unplanned disassembly of its right rear tire resulted in a sudden drift into the grass, through I’m happy to report that it was still able to return safely to the pits.
Leave the Excavation to the Professionals
Drifting is an activity best left to professionals, but no professional is perfect—this BMW is doing some earth moving of its own in plain view of a true earthmover.

More from the #GRIDLIFE Pits
#GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends last fall was an incredible photographic legend—way more than could fit in just one post. We’re back again, this time focusing on happenings in the pits (which were open to the crowds.)
This black Nissan GT-R R34 was lurking in the shadows.
The gold shades on this S2000 driver were extra-dramatic with a fisheye lens.
Rounding out the action, this C5 Corvette rumbled down the pit lane. Given that it and the R34 share similar tail lights and paint jobs, the similarity in style seemed justified.
Drift Loose
The smoke and the motion in this shot of a drifting 86 at #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends last month really grab my attention, but it’s the little detail of the hand making the shaka sign out the window that puts this image over the top.

Margaux Sunset Clouds
The enormous Margaux Farm seems, like some equestrian Jurassic Park, to stretch from one horizon to the other.
Red Spinnaker
Racing sailboats on San Francisco Bay is the sort of upper-class pastime that seems perfectly suited for a flawless blue evening in late spring. Placid water meets busy city meets bright sails.
More Than a Nose
Dollar Days at Golden Gate Fields: dollar beers, dollar hot dogs, dollar admissions. Delicious, preposterous revelry. And rivalry.
Mostly, I just love the dynamic sense of motion captured here. (And the texture differences between horse, grass, and dirt.)
