Stumbled on this while walking around Tampere. I unfortunately do not know the artist as it’s not tagged, but I love the colors and style. Rough message to see in Finland though, a country of seemingly infinite beautiful nature.

We hopped down to Estonia for a few days and I found that it’s possible to rent an old Lada rally car to rip around a rallycross track. Cue us driving an hour south just to give it a whirl; quite a piece of rally history when you factor in Eastern Bloc differences from way back. Took me a few laps to get the hang of it but was great fun after that.

Not being run this year, but realized I could go through the road at a reasonable pace and just check it out. Wound up doing a mini recce - the road sucks you in and it’s clear why it’s revered. Lovely tribute to Craig Breen at the end.

An artistic shot of us racing off in to the distance. Shows how long some of the straights at Sandblast can be. Thanks to <a href='https://www.instagram.com/connord.photography/'>Connor DeBow</a> for the fantastic photo. Thanks to <a href='https://instagram.com/rivercityrally/'>River City Rally</a> for the car!

Always wanted to visit here - curiosity about the Portuguese aspect of history was intriguing, on top of the regular things you’d associate with Macau (i.e, gambling and racing). Kind of hard to get a read on this place at first but it’s got charm in a weird way. Grand Prix museum is stunning and worth going to!

A stunningly beautiful city to walk through. Feels simultaneously artistic and hard to even remotely capture well in photos.

A somewhat rare sight of a central street with no people. This city is absolutely packed usually.

Slowly climbing up through Central Hong Kong. The vertical architecture is amazing - and this road struck out at me as photogenic.

Christmas in Japan seemed muted this year until I stumbled on this massive thing. One of the coolest takes on a Christmas tree that I’ve ever seen.

Jaw dropping fall foliage. Getting the chance to drive these roads was something else! Several points throughout the rally I found myself having to remind myself to focus because it was legitimately distracting. Big thanks to Mele Media for the photo!

Fun fact: this originally wasn’t red! It got painted much later on. There’s another lighthouse 42 miles or so north; these two are seemingly the most remote lighthouses in the USA.

Moments before heading out on to the track. Final check with the crew and engineers. Getting to drive this track is beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks to my good friend Tomo Goshozono for the photo!
