Zero Velocity
Soaring down a racetrack at a neck-breaking 300kph, white-knuckled, eyes bloodshot, muscle straining where the margins of error are razor thin. Completing one lap only takes a minute or two but being able to do it continuously over a 24-hour endurance race while travelling around the globe week after week is what competitive driver, André Lotterer, does for his 9-to-5. Car racing in the World Endurance Series and Formula-E, André lives his life in top gear.
Undergoing pressures from his team, sponsors, and those closest to him is a responsibility he’s grateful to bear to fuel his passion. But he often reaches for his camera when he needs to disappear from his environment and be a witness to his surroundings.
On a consistent rotation between his go-to digital Leica M and analog M6, André finds a time and a place for each camera. Whenever he finds himself in a new city on the year’s racing schedule, he’ll take at least a day to get lost in the city only accompanied by his camera.
