"2019 Porsche Rally": Part 2 Rally Eve Festival @ Tantarova del Museo Gotenba

2019 Porsche The Rally Amazing Moment Eve Festival

This second Porsche 911 Rally was different from the previous one, not only from the driving route but also from the starting point of the rally.

The first rally started from Daikanyama T-SITE (Tsutaya Bookstore), which is said to be a sacred place for car lovers in Daikanyama in Tokyo (I wonder if it is ^^?), But this time it started from Tokyo. Apart from that, this time it is said to be a sacred place for Porsche lovers (... I wonder if it is ^^?), "Tantarova del MuseoIt became from.

Therefore, the meeting time on the day of the rally is early before 8 o'clock in the morning, so it seems that many people stayed at Gotemba for departure at this rally.

Perhaps in anticipation of such an eve, the eve of the rally was also prepared at this Museo restaurant the day before the rally.

I was also enthusiastic to participate from this eve with Mr. Entrant who participated last year. Ready to drink with you anytime. Oh, not the one who runs, but the one who drinks (laughs)?

Heavy rain the day before the rally

Shika ~! The day I was thinking of leaving Tokyo around noon to head for the eve of the festival. It was a really heavy rain from the morning.

First of all, when I ran in Tokyo in the morning with black carrera on this day, various places have already begun to become tremendous puddles.

Eh, is it so submerged in such a place in the city center? !! I was surprised at the amount of rainfall from the morning.

Participated in the second Porsche Rally with Porsche 911 GT3

I decided to participate in this rally with Porsche 911 GT3 instead of Carrera.

Furthermore, my husband could not enter Gotemba in time to participate in the eve due to work reasons, so in order to go to the eve, in this heavy rain, I used the Porsche 911 GT3 with 2 cup tires and rear wheel drive. It was necessary for people to drive to Gotemba.

That's true ... it's a little too dangerous.

I want to go to the eve ... I would like to meet the entrants who were talking about having fun together from the eve of the festival ... I want to keep the promise I told you, "I'm going to the eve!"

I was already worried about when to leave the house and when to leave the house while watching the heavy rain outside the window and the future weather forecast, but I was frustrated and could not leave the house easily. ..

At that time, on Twitter, YouTuber Fabio told me that MR McLaren (720S) slipped and caused an accident even though he was not running at high speed in this heavy rain. I saw it being done.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The McLaren 720S accident is a single property damage accident, and there is no difference in life.

The following video explains the details of the accident.

I would like to explain about today's McLaren 720S accident. https://t.co/qaV9OyqpTA

First of all, it seems that he wasn't injured, and although I think it's the best thing, it must have been a real shock ... I can't help but feel that feeling (tears).

And this time, I received the message that Mr. Fabio had been issued after the accident, "Be careful if you drive today. I uploaded a video to see this and hope that even one accident will be reduced." I decided to cancel my participation in the eve of the day.

If you run forcibly and something happens, it's not the rally from the next day. I am grateful for the decision to stop overdoing it here. And although this decision was sad, I think it was correct.

After all, cars are fun because safety is the first priority ^^

I contacted the cancellation of participation in the eve and waited for the rain to stop. It was forecast that the rain would stop at night, so after night I decided to head to Gotemba with my husband who had finished work and stay the night before.

May the rally be sunny on the day ...

I talked with Porsche on the day of the rally the next morning, and that person is also a "sunny man" and I am also quite a "sunny woman".

That's exactly what our conversation is ... At this time when these typhoons were steadily coming, "The two days of the rally were sunny, so it was raining all the day before! "(Laughs).

How positive ^^ No, but I really feel

"Hey, it will clear up from the rally."

is. Oh, please do it like "Weathering with You" (laughs).

Now, back to the story, the day before the rally. It rained at night, so I left for Gotemba at night. Of course, even if the rain stops, the road surface will be sloppy, so drive safely.

When I arrived at the hotel in Gotemba, the first thing I asked at the front desk was "Is the bar still open?" (Laughs).

Unfortunately, the answer was "It's already closed", so if I was asking "Where you can buy alcohol ... Is there a convenience store nearby?" ... (How hungry you are for alcohol?" (Laughs)).

At that time, the one who also came to the front desk was Mr. Entrant, who was with us for dinner at the rally last year. "Wow !! It's been a long time ~", it's already a moving reunion ^^

And this entrant said, "Once I arrived, the hotel bar was over, so I'm just going to a convenience store and buying sake! It's in that direction!"

No, how much entrants are willing to drink. The behavior is exactly the same (laughs). I think it's fun because people who say "Let's have a lot of fun!" Are gathered in this way. Hmmm, everyone is ready to enjoy it. The best!

That's why the next day's rally start time is early, so I said goodbye to Mr. Entrant on the spot and headed to the convenience store to get a drink. The eve of the festival without permission at the hotel ^^

Porsche Rally, actually Ferrari event and batting

Oh yeah, when I come back to the hotel from the convenience store and park my car in the hotel parking lot ...

Oh oh. Ferrari is there. That's right, I remembered when I saw this Ferrari.

In fact, the Ferrari event was to be held at Fuji Speedway on the same day as the Porsche rally. Ferrari event hosted by Cornes Motors (CORNES).

This Ferrari event was an event that my husband had been looking forward to attending. It seems that my husband wanted to participate in that as well, so before applying for the Porsche rally this time

"Then, I'm attending the Ferrari event, so Rika-chan should be attending the Porsche rally! So when the Porsche and the others come to FSW, I'll go see them for a while ~"

We have never had a couple quarrel since we started dating and got married, but at that time, we suddenly asked, "What ?! What are you talking about?" ? Porsche Rally has been decided as the highest priority !! ", for a moment (only for me ^^) it became a terrible atmosphere (laugh).

It was a parking lot where Porsche and Ferrari coexisted to remind me of that.

The silver Carrera S parked in the back is the car of the person who was with me last year. In the foreground is Carrera 4 GTS. This was also the entrant of this rally.

Furthermore, Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive-sama! This is also exactly! I'm the one who was with me at last year's rally ^^ At last year's rally, the number was close, so I've been together in quite a variety of situations, and I'm really looking forward to seeing you again this time. I was doing it.

Really cool. Overwhelming presence.

It was a very happy eve of the rally to meet Porsche of Entrant and others for the first time in a long time.

I was not able to participate in the Porsche rally eve, but in the end I was feeling better for the rally, and while watching the Porsche in the parking lot, the excitement became unstoppable. ^^

Well, it's finally the rally tomorrow. It is a Porsche rally. It is a rally of Porsche 911. It is "The Rally -Amazing Moment-". I'm sure "Amazing Moment" is waiting for you again.

So, let's continue.

What?

Isn't the rally starting yet in the blog? ?? So you said that! My rally article is "long" (laughs).

I'm sorry, it's finally the next rally!
