Over the past year, Photographer / Director David Martinez produced a film following Alp Sungurtekin, a renowned designer of land speed racing vehicles who masterfully blends vintage and modern technologies to push machines to their absolute limits.
The documentary chronicles his remarkable journey, including his record-breaking achievement of 172 mph in the partial streamlined category—accomplished using nothing more than gaffer tape to modify the fork. Alp’s innovative approach led him to shatter an 18-year-old Harley-Davidson record, demonstrating how his unique fusion of old and new engineering can produce extraordinary results.
Check out the film and some stills below.
