"2019 Porsche Rally": Part 5 Roadside Station Servant-Lunch at Kingswell-Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum

2019 Porsche The Rally Amazing Moment (Featuring Mt. Fuji) Day1 Driving

It is a continuation of running to "Museo-Mizugatsuka Park-Makai no Makiba" on the first day of the Porsche 911 Rally.

After leaving the second checkpoint of the rally, "Makai no Makiba," the next goal is "Roadside Station Servant."

Somehow, "Is it going to be a servant after leaving the ranch of the demon world?" Oh, that's just me ^^

It runs in a very refreshing green. It feels good to increase the pace.

Checkpoint 3: Roadside Station Servant

Roadside station servants arrived relatively quickly from Makai Ranch.

You can see the Porsche flags ... Go to the back.

This checkpoint also stamped and returned the stamp rally mount to the staff without getting out of the car.

Furthermore, the souvenir I received here is Mt. Fuji drop. "Setsuko, it's not a drop" crosses my head. No, so I don't need this comment (laughs).

Porsche flag is a rally essential

so! And this rally.

First, this Porsche flag is distributed to entrants, but this flag is an item that can be used occasionally, such as waving it to passers-by or when entrants pass each other.

There was a point that made me think, "I'm glad I got this flag!"

That is the checkpoint of this roadside station servant.

Well, before I got the stamp stamped at the checkpoint, these cute children were waving the flag toward Porsche with all their might ~ ^ ^

Already, that hard work & smile was cute ~. I also hurriedly looked for the flag and looked back. These little things are also very happy times and experiences at Porsche Rally.

Now, let's see off the cute kids and head to Kingswell, the next checkpoint and lunch place.

There are tunnels on the way, so it's really fun.

When I entered the tunnel ... I wanted to enjoy the sound, so I enjoyed the sound of the Porsche 911 GT3 at 9,000 rpm because there was only a pace car around. Let's go.

A pace car running in front of me is coming and I'm going steadily. How comfortable Porsche running.

While watching the wonderful name and scenery of the Southern Alps, I chase after the pace car in front of me.

Oh, no one is behind ^^

The pace car, of course, is keeping the legal speed range ^ ^, but once the speed difference is a little, the formation will also be separated, and other cars and waiting for traffic lights will come in there. And it will fall apart.

It seems that some people thought that the pace car was fast this time as well, but when the pace car was slowed down in the first place, the pace of the cars that followed further ahead was gradually slowing down. I personally thought that it would be unavoidable for the pace car to become faster to some extent because it would be even slower.

Take a questionnaire in advance when you do the next rally or grouping

• Those who want to run fast so that they can enjoy the performance of Porsche 911 as close as possible
• People who want to touring with other 911s while slowly enjoying the scenery etc.
• Classic cars

I thought that it would be good to divide into 3 groups such as ^ ^

Oh, while doing so, it's a lunch venueKingswellI arrived at the place. I ran in a row with a pace car, so I got the first ride.

About No. 1 ... I had some time before you arrived, so what did my family do ...?

Ah, I'm sorry I've polluted the landscape. Yes, I dried the microfiber cloth that I used when I washed the car a little in the morning ^^ I squeezed it quite well, but I hope it dries even a little more.

Porsche Rally Day 1 Lunch "Kings Well"

Then, I would like to enter the lunch place on the first day.

Oh, it's accepted before that.

This is just a "lunch venue" and was not a checkpoint for stamping, so we will not bring in a stamp mount. Reception ONLY.

It seems that there is a facility called Kings Well, an English garden, and various events are held, and I received a pamphlet that describes them.

If you look closely, there was also a description about this Porsche Rally properly ^ ^

"PORSCHE THE RALLY: Arrived one after another from around 12:00 Porsche 911's special touring is now on KINGSWELL! This rare opportunity ★ Don't miss it! 』↓ It is the red circle.

In addition, melons are sold near the entrance.

When I entered the lunch venue, a buffet was prepared. Seats are free seating. Since I was the first rider, the large venue was rattling and a little lonely at first, but when I talked a little with the people in the room, everyone arrived in no time and the venue was full ^ ^

It's also a fun time to be able to talk with the people who were present at such a small lunch table. At such places, during breaks at checkpoints, the number of exchanges is increasing little by little, and when I notice it, the next time I meet, I get to know "Oh! Hello!"

All the people I meet at this Porsche rally are really wonderful.

I think that there is a big part where everyone feels a sense of intimacy with each other because they are connected by invisible "Porsche love". ... No, I can't see it, or the common point that the participants have "Porsche love" was an event that was so appealing that it was too easy to understand ... ^^

After lunch, when I was still full and went outside, the parking lot that was rattled a while ago was already full of Porsche 911.

I've thought many times, but it's great to have such a Porsche 911 with a really good impact.

The two orange buttocks have been seen as a matter of course, and as far as I can see, it's the best sight.

Furthermore, when I suddenly returned my eyes to the front, a beautiful air-cooled Porsche passed in front of me, just like in everyday life. What a world full of Porsche 911, which does not seem to be the same as the world flowing in this rally with the usual real life, it may seem unrealistic.

What's amazing is that every Porsche 911 is "running". Of course, there are times when it is temporarily parked in the parking lot, but basically all 911s "run", which is completely different from an exhibition event.

Panamera on which the management staff was riding is also cool. hybrid.

Now, let's start for the next checkpoint.

There was a Dunlop truck in front of the pace car, and I followed from behind, thinking, "Oh, maybe I'm going to Fuji Speedway. I wonder if there are a lot of Dunlop tires on it."

Checkpoint 4: Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum

Arrival ~. The fourth checkpoint is the Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum.

If you hang the Porsche Rally name tag from your neck, you can get a ticket and enter the hall. There is also a checkpoint inside the building where you can get a stamp.

First of all, enter the hall and have them stamp it immediately.

And since you only have to return to the car by the set departure time, you can enjoy the hall as you like until then ... but in fact, there was no time at all! !!

When I looked at the clock and asked, "What time do you leave? How many minutes can you look around the hall?", I checked the departure time of my car, and it seems that the remaining time was already 10 minutes or so. I see.

Hmmm, this is not only for listening to music box performance events, but also for buying souvenirs.

So, do you take a walk around the center of the Music Box Museum? Then I returned to the car.

Well, this Music Forest Museum, a long time ago, about twice with children? Wonder? Since I've been there, I knew most of the facility, so it was enough for us to take a walk ^^

"Is there a swan who was there when I came before?", I went to check only the existence of the swan.

I was able to confirm that Mr. Swan was in the usual place, so this is enough for my sightseeing at the Music Forest Museum (don't tell me if it's the same swan as before ...) ..

Ah, the souvenirs I got here are scented goods that you can put between pillows and pillowcases.

I wonder if the entrants who participated in the pair of men shared this and exchanged "Then, I am in lavender" and "Oh, then I am in chamomile" ... I imagined later and grinned (← this) Also has a perverted temperament).

I will return to the parking lot in a hurry.

Also, the continuation from here is next.

Finally, the next checkpoint is "Fuji Speedway," which has the only activity event in this rally. I'm looking forward to it!

It's persistent, but anyway, on the first day of this Porsche the Rally, Mt. Fuji was really incredibly beautiful all day long.

Porsche the Rally was held in such a blessed weather. It was too good. Even if I recall now, I'm really thankful for everything, including this weather.

Continue ^^!
