Assen on Wednesday. Hockenheim till Sunday.
Five days, one camera bag, little sleep.

PCCB round 5 🇩🇪

Touched down in Spain! 🇪🇸

Headed to @andaluciacircuit for @ajithkumarracing’s test with @mahindraracing & @nyckdevries. Despite the tricky weather, we still captured some incredible moments on and off the track.

The day ended perfectly — sharing Indian cuisine and motorsport stories with Ajith and Shiva. A true mix of passion, precision, and flavor! 🍲

Huge thanks to @msmedia.social for the opportunity. Always a pleasure to be trackside! 📸

Saturday at Spa, a few hours before the C1 24H got going.
Autumn in the trees. Umbrellas in the stands.

Small cars. Zero mercy.

Last race of the season. Podium.
And me, holding back the tears. I blame the lack of sleep.

This whole year was about building. With clients, with my own work, and especially with @hjelte_racing

A lot of hours on and off track. Capturing him on the circuit, funny phone calls, a road trip to Imola with a bit of holiday on the side, private talks that stay between us. Most of the time it doesn’t feel like work.

We had strong races, and races that were tough to swallow. I feel shit too when it doesn’t work out. Especially when you know what happens off track: the training, the hours in the simulator, all the work nobody sees. Somewhere along the way he became a bit of a little brother to me, haha.

Zolder, the final round. Race 1 didn’t start as planned. Qualified P5, a grid penalty put him on P10, and he came home P7. One more race to go.

Race 2, P5 on the grid again. Most of the race fighting the car ahead. Trackside, watching the sector times, it was nerve-wracking. Then one of the top three cars got a five second penalty. Hjelte had to get past the car in front and stay inside that gap. He did. P3.

After Barcelona, he did it again. Back on the podium in the last minutes of the race.

Podiums aren’t given. You earn them on track. He earned this one.

So proud of you, mate.

First chicane at Zolder feels quite good when you hit it😎👌

The best part of a 24h race starts when the sun goes down.
