Downshift Media

Last weekend, I traveled to Adelaide to cover the Adelaide Motorsport Festival as accredited media, and it was an unforgettable experience.
This annual event is a celebration of motorsport history and performance, bringing together an incredible mix of race cars, supercars, and historic machines for fans to enjoy up close. Held at Victoria Park, the festival creates an immersive atmosphere with high-speed demonstrations, interactive displays, and a strong connection to both past and present racing culture.

The lineup of cars was nothing short of spectacular, featuring everything from modern Formula 1 machines and thunderous NASCARs to GT3 race cars, hypercars, and legendary Le Mans prototypes. Exotic road cars also made an appearance, ensuring there was something for every type of car enthusiast. The combination of on-track action, passionate fans, and the chance to witness rare and iconic vehicles in motion made this event truly special. I can't wait to share more of the moments I captured throughout the weekend!

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph the stunning Lotus Emira, finished in Zinc Grey, courtesy of my local Lotus Cars dealership. This particular example is the latest addition to their showroom, with just around 250 km on the odometer.

The Emira represents a new era for Lotus, blending the brand’s signature lightweight handling with modern refinement. It’s available with two powertrain options: a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four, producing approximately 360 horsepower, or a 3.5L supercharged V6, delivering around 405 horsepower. Designed to be the most refined Lotus road car yet, the Emira features a beautifully crafted interior, cutting-edge aerodynamics, and a chassis engineered for both daily drivability and thrilling performance on the road or track.

A huge thank you to Lotus Cars Perth for giving me the chance to capture this masterpiece of automotive engineering!

Another favourite taken over at Craftsmen Automotive Professional - CAP earlier this year - a McLaren 675LT. It's great heading into their workshop to photograph these beautiful vehicles, and see their meticulous attention to detail with the wrapping work they do.
