Drifting Finnish National Championship was held in historical Ahvenisto Race Circuit in August. Drifting is very high tempo and aggressive sport which demands highly skilled photographer. Because on the speed and smoke focusing and composition of the photos is very hard. I manage to get this photo through the smoke by thrusting my experience. Race driver Niklas Wik was placed 7th in the Championchip series. Drifting cars are like beast, over 800hp and the speed in the circuit can raise to 200km/h.
