Inside Hong Kong’s secret 'Fast and Furious' street racing world
VIDEO: By day, Eva is a nurse. For one night each week she is also an illegal street racer - one of hundreds in Hong Kong who are bound by their addiction to breakneck speed.
As night begins to give way to dawn, 40 high-performance cars pull up on an empty Hong Kong backstreet. While the city sleeps, their revving engines fill the air with a heavy smell of petrol.
The drivers huddle together to set the route, always at the last possible minute. One of them spots the red and blue glare of police lights and they scramble to their cars, regrouping a few miles away to continue the race.
By day, Eva is a nurse. For one night each week she is also an illegal street racer - one of hundreds in Hong Kong who are bound by their addiction to breakneck speed.
With the engine of her black Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII modified to generate maximum power, the 25-year old is only the second woman to join an illicit club whose members include teachers, businessmen, lawyers, and even a Taoist priest.
Most of them would not even cross a pedestrian walkway on a red light in the day - jaywalking is an offence in Hong Kong - but the rules of a normally ordered city are put to one side in this twilight world of street racing.
Tearing along public roads at speeds of up to 200 kilometres (124 miles) per hour, Eva is fiercely proud of her secret identity as an illegal racer -- one that she never plans to reveal to her parents.
