"2019 Porsche Rally": Part 8 Start of the second day of the rally from the Marriott Hotel-Mentai Park Izu

2019 Porsche The Rally Day 2 Route & Checkpoint

Porsche the Rally, which started Tantarova del Museo in Gotemba at 8:30 am on Saturday, October 26, 2019, and reached the goal of the first day of the rally at Fuji Marriott Hotel Yamanakako.

On the morning of the second day, we will meet in each car by 7:20 and start from 7:30 in order. On the first day, the departure was in the order of "A group-> B group-> C group", but on the second day, the departure was in the order of "B group-> A group-> C group".

The driving route on the second day is as follows.

As was the case with the previous rally, there are lunches and checkpoints on the second day of the rally, but anyway, the main purpose of the day was "to get to the rally goal venue in Tokyo promptly without getting stuck in traffic. "Everyone will reach it", so it should be progressing faster than the day before.

First of all, in the morning, I had a light breakfast buffet with the entrants again and said, "Did you drink too much yesterday? Was it okay?" And greetings in the morning (laughs). (Sorry, I don't have a single photo ... I didn't take any photos of the breakfast scene, so I can see how I was vacant in the morning ...).

As the meeting time was approaching, we headed to the parking lot. A scene full of Porsche 911 spreading in front of me who was asleep. This is exactly the feeling of a dream (no, maybe it's just not happening (laughs)).

The second day of the rally, a happy event before departure

And, when I approached my car for a while, I was a little vacant ... Someone said, "Good morning!", And then "I've finished the car ^^ !!".

Yeah? Did you finish it?

... For the time being, I couldn't understand it well in my head in the morning, so I said "Hey, uh, thank you ~" and went to the car.

No, I didn't really know anything ... I'm sorry.

That is it. Only after a while after I started running, I realized. The meaning of "finished".

so!

On the second day of the rally, I started driving from the morning, but I suddenly saw the rear-view mirror quite soon after I left.

Then, I saw a pattern around the hood of the car behind me, which looked like it had been raining.

When I saw it, I remembered it.

Ah! !! !! By the way, even at the time of last year's rally, when I went to the parking lot on the morning of the second day of the rally, all the 911s parked in the parking lot were very wet with morning dew.

Last year I participated in a black carrera, so when I saw the car, I suddenly realized that it was full of morning dew, but this time it was a white car, so I wondered if there was morning dew or not. I didn't know when I was asleep (too techy (laughs)), so I wasn't aware of it at all.

If you take a closer look at the photos later, you can see the morning dew like this ... The color looks mottled because the morning dew is on. ↓

When I upload it, it looks like this.

Anyway, all Porsche 911s were in a pretty sloppy state in the hotel parking lot in the morning ↓

That's ... "I've finished it" means, yes, wipe the morning dew on my car clean (of course, the one who thinks it won't hurt) and make it look like it's been washed. It was that he kept it ... Impressed already. I was really impressed with this. You're impressed, right? ?? Yeah.

Why didn't you notice me at first! !!

I didn't take any pictures of my car before departure, so I had a lot of sleep and blur, so I managed to move my car.Official siteIt is a picture of GT3 received from ↓

I was able to start the rally on the second day with one morning dew and a beautiful GT3 without it, but I didn't know anything about it.

"The next time I see you at the checkpoint, I have to thank you properly !!!", and after that, I was able to meet at the checkpoint, so thank you for the "facts I finally noticed". I was able to convey my feelings.

Thank you again. I was really happy ^^

Porsche the Rally Day 2 Departure

Oh, I was so excited that I wrote so far, so I hadn't started the second day of the rally yet (laughs).

Excuse me, so let's start!

This day started from Group B. This is followed by a group A pace car, followed by a group A entrant.

As mentioned above, the second day of the rally starts with my driving.

And this time, I started without saying to the pace car in front of me, "I will drive, so please go slowly."

After all, if I want to run hard, I wanted to enjoy 911 as much as possible, not slowly. (While saying that, I was thinking what to do if I couldn't keep up with him ... and told the back, "If it's too late, please pull it out!" ^^)

By the time I got to the first checkpoint on the second day, I started using the highway in the morning.

Until I entered the highway, there were a lot of cars (other than the rally), so I could drive normally.

Then, when I saw the highway entrance ... "Well, Pace Car, how enthusiastic are you ...", I was expecting it.

Hmm! !! amazing!

The moment you enter the high-speed confluence, the acceleration of the Porsche 911 Turbo ahead is completely different. I will not disappoint, "Oh, awesome, this is Porsche!"

Of course, I don't want to leave it behind (No, according to the rules, I don't have to keep up with it, but personally I can't allow it to be left behind (laughs)).

So, following the Porsche 911 Turbo that can be run mercilessly, I also ran while chasing happily with the Porsche 911 GT3.

No! !! It was already fun. The best. After all Porsche is the best because it runs. Ah, I wish this was an autobahn. I wish there was no speed limit ~ ^^

Day 2 Checkpoint 1: Mentai Park Izu

By the way, I enjoyed driving Porsche 911 on such a fun highway, and even though I was asleep from the morning, I enjoyed it with adrenaline & GT3 fully open from the moment I got on the highway. It ’s really the best since the morning.

Just hear the engine sound of this Porsche 911 and you will wake up. It's too good.

Before we knew it, we arrived at "Mentai Park Izu", the first checkpoint on the second day of the rally.

At Mentai Park Izu, this time my departure was Group A, which departed after Group B, so the people of Group B had already arrived, and it was really nice that "the feeling of being crowded with Porsche 911" was already good. It is ^ ^

Since the first day was the first group, there was no 911 parked ahead of us.

The appearance of entrant's new Porsche 911 (Porsche 992).

Really, the more you look, the cooler it is! It is 992 that seems to be. want! (Oh, I said (laughs). Porsche's lumps of worldly desires are being revealed more and more ... Hmm? Have you already been caught?).

Subsequent members of Group A arrived more and more, and the parking lot of Mentai Park was filled with Porsche in no time.

Turbo Exclusive and GT3. It's too beautiful! I don't think the fact that the center is open doesn't mean that we're on bad terms (laughs).

The lizard green stands out after all!

By all means, I like black cars, so I am so fascinated by black Porsche that I look at it every time I see it. It's too nice.

Furthermore, since Group A is followed by Group C, it was refreshing that Group C, which collected Porsche classic cars, arrived after Group A.

The spectacle that comes in more and more is extraordinary.

What's more, it's not a place where more and more air-cooled Porsche can come in to the parking lot where many new Porsche 911s are waiting, not some Porsche event venue in Stuttgart, so let's do something. , It's "Kanefuku no Mentai Park"! !!

A customer who happened to come to Mentai Park on that day and was present at this place regardless of Porsche Rally, "How much do Porsche 911 owners like mentaiko !!" Was it (laughs)?

The souvenir trap for Porsche the Rally was here ...

Oh yeah, this is a rally checkpoint that you shouldn't forget. Please stamp it.

At the checkpoint where you can stamp, I wrote that you can get souvenirs every time, but of course, I was able to get souvenirs here as well.

That's what I was expecting for a while, "This is a park where the place is awkward, and this is ..." and gave me "Here, please!".

it's here! "Something" in a plastic bag called "Mentai Park".

Isn't this exactly the "mentaiko" I expected in terms of size? ?? ?? No way? Really?

With a little excitement, I asked the management brother who gave me this, "Is this a mentaiko ???"

My brother immediately answered, "Yes! That's right!"

I did it! !! !! I'm super happy.

Since I came to Mentai Park, I wanted to buy Mentaiko, but when I arrived here, I was told that "it's only 5 minutes before departure", so it seems that shopping will not be completed in 5 minutes. Then ... I just took a commemorative photo with "Dr. Taracon", the character of Kanefuku who came out of the shop, and gave up buying mentaiko.

It's a souvenir that fulfills my desire, "But I wanted mentaiko." Impressed.

I have to eat this when I get home! !! I was very satisfied and left the Mentai Park.

That's it.

I'll skip a bit ... after the rally is over and I'm back home.

Of course I remember. "Oh! I have to put the mentaiko in the fridge as soon as possible! No, I should eat a little before putting it in."

I said, "Wow!"

No, really. This will make a voice.

Because, no matter how you look at it ... it's not Mentaiko! !! !! !! !! !!

Cho, Porsche, what do you think of this feeling of "I want to eat mentaiko, but I can eat it because I got it" that I am dragging from this Mentai Park! !! !!

The management brother said "Yes!" To "Why are you a mentaiko?" With such a big smile! !!

If you think about it, take a closer look and you will see this fish sausage (?), Which is properly "with mentaiko". surely

"Are you mentaiko?" "Yes!"

There is no lie in the content of the conversation. The management brother, I'm not lying ... It says "Mentaiko (entering)" very big (laughs).

At the time of the first rally in 2018, "At the checkpoint of Yokokawa's Oginoya Kamameshi,When I thought he gave me a mini-kamameshi, it was Ame-chan who pretended to be a kamameshi.There was a punch line.

Uu. They got me. The punch line for the second rally was here.

You can see the state of the management meeting during the rally preparation period of the management people.

"Where should I prepare this material?"
"Well, how about putting something that looks like mentaiko in a bag of Mentai Park and actually fish sausage (with mentaiko)? Then, even if you are asked" Is it mentaiko? " It's not a lie. "
"Like, adopt it!"

Ah, it was done, really.

… That's all my paranoia (laughs). excuse me. I was really alone at home, and after the rally, I fell down from my knees in front of the refrigerator and laughed ^^

By the way, I would like to return to Mentai Park, where there was a fun event (?) That made me laugh even after I came home after such a rally.

At this time, I didn't know anything yet, and while smiling thinking that I got Mentaiko, I headed for the next checkpoint (Oh, does it sound like I'm still resenting? That's not true (laughs)).

Going in front is Porsche 911 GTS! Cool ~. The color is also wonderful!

No matter how much I look at the Porsche 911, I never get tired of it, so I'm too happy to be able to run in an environment where various 911s are always in sight.

Now let's move on to the next checkpoint.

The first highway on the second day of the rally was fun, but the roads from here onwards were even better! !! It was too fun! !!

… So, continue ^^
