2020 driving lesson payment is Sunako Juku

Black Carrera returning from repair, celebrating the resurrection at Sunako Juku ~

A little while ago, on November 5thParticipate in the Porsche Truck ExperienceAt the tip of the arrowMy beloved Porsche 911 Carrera that has broken..

After that, it was stored in the Porsche Center for about 3 weeks for repair, and on November 25, it was restored to a state where it could run properly again.Came back to me..

After the black carrera came back, I was able to drive without worrying about driving in the city, but I still feel like "when I suddenly make a full brake, it may be useless again". I couldn't go until I was completely struck by the Noh weather and became "the best of 911!"

Even now, it's been almost two months since the black carrera broke, but even now, I always step on the brakes before I start driving, and the brakes become fluffy. I am checking for any strange feelings.

And every time I check it, I remember the "feeling of the brakes being released" when it broke.

Once I start driving, I'm running without worrying about it, but ... well, I think it's a good idea for a while, and it's not a bad thing to check before driving, so it's better. I try to think that I have a habit ^^

Well, such me.

Carrera came back, thinking that "enjoy the full throttle of 911" and "it's okay to brake fully" so that Carrera who returned from repair can feel at ease within herself. About a week later, I headed to a certain place.

Driving gloves purchased at KakazanHowever, I was happy to finally be able to use it with Porsche 911 at this time! It's still really good ^^

On this day, refuel near the destination first.

Well, after all, at the time of this refueling, the feeling of excitement was already increasing in me, and for the time being, I was only excited, so the more I write it, the more traumatic the brakes are. Isn't it? I thought (laughs).

No, there is!

It should be)!

… So I'm going to overcome this trauma! !!

Yes, the gasoline is full, and this is where I arrived.

This is the gymkhana field of Tsukuba Circuit.

I participated this time"Sunako Juku", which I have participated in several times in the pastis.

Well, just because I came here again with Black Carrera, I was impressed by one person.

After arriving at the site, I didn't have time to just look at Carrera and be impressed (although).

Because I had a child's plan from the morning on that day, I was already late for attending the Sunako Juku, so when I arrived at Tsukuba Circuit, I was over an hour late.

Everyone, I had already finished the morning lecture and started running.

Oh. The yellow Fairlady Z was my husband ^^

The instructors are Mr. Tofuya and Mr. Ara from around the world.

First of all, I would like to say hello to the instructor of Sunako Juku, who arrived late.

Speaking of Sunako Juku, of course, it is Sunako Juku President.

Oh, you're here, you're here. As usual, the participants are seriously watching the running.

To say hello. Sunako! !! I haven't seen you! !!

...

… Who ’s that? !! who is it? !!

Hahaha. Well, I'm very sorry.

I already know.

This is the Super Endurance Series this seasonTeam Sao Tome Principe with StudieThis is Takashi Tofuya, a racing driver who runs the BMW M4 GT4.

Mr. Tofuya was the instructor at Sunako Juku on that day.

It was fun to meet Mr. Tofuya for a long time and talk about various things ^^

After arriving, I had a lot of fun talking to him, but if I had been chatting with Mr. Tofuya forever, I wouldn't be able to run with Carrera (laughs), so I finally ran, "Then, I'll run!" To prepare.

And on this day I had decided to do something.

What did you decide?

That was one of the major purposes of my participation in Sunako Juku on that day. What is "being" which is the big purpose of this day for me?

That's right, this one is involved! !!

Yes, that's right, this is Seiji Ara, a racing driver, "Ara of the World" ~ ^^

When the black carrera broke in November, Mr. Ara was there as well. You were just looking at it right after it broke.

So, I wanted to report that Carrera was revived properly and I was able to run properly & I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused when it broke, I wanted to thank you. It is.

* Of course, I would like to tell other people who came when it broke, but on behalf of Mr. Ara, I had the opportunity to meet him this time.

Furthermore, in addition to this report on the resurrection of Carrera, I have "what I want you to tell me from Mr. Ara", and I will definitely tell you that on this day! I was thinking.

That is my biggest mission of the day.

I can't write that all at once here, soI will write it separately..

For the time being, Mr. Ara drove a steady circular turn, which is a lesson run at the very first gymkhana field of the black carrera revival.

Before starting the first run, he said, "I have Carrera's brakes fixed properly, but in the unlikely event that something happens ... it's the same at that time! Really unpleasant student ← I (laughs).

Also, I will write about my maximum mission specially requested from here, but anyway, I made the first run rough (I am the passenger seat).

At the end of the run, Mr. Ara stepped on the 911 and finally squeezed! After feeling the flow of the series of 911, I was really happy and laughed, "It's easy to do, 911 is really fluffy." When I saw Mr. Ara, I thought "fufufufufu".

Feeling the sharp running and braking of 911 by Mr. Ara, I was happy with "Fufufufu" and 911 in the car with two people, and at this point, "Brake again" I thought that the thought of "maybe it's no good" has completely disappeared from me (after all, it's simple (laughs)).

Even though it is a steady circular turn, it does not slip

Next, I finally run by myself.

"Carrera-san, let's have fun," said the steady circle after a long absence.

Until now, I had a strong feeling that I had to slip, like "I have to slip anyway" and "Counter when I slip".

However, at this time's Sunako Juku, I was deeply and deeply convinced that the essential meaning of "why do you practice steady circular turning" was taught again, and this day was not "sliding" for the first time.

"I haven't gotten that far (understanding the car), so instead of forcing it to slip, I first know and understand when the front tires can't stand anymore. "

I concentrated on that.

When I was looking at it from the surroundings, it might have been "What is that person doing without slipping at all?"

But for me, "Oh, the front starts to rattle at this point" "Then, what if I keep accelerating for a little longer?" "What if I turn the steering wheel more here?" I changed it and tried what kind of movement my Porsche 911 Carrera was and when the front tires would say "No more, I'm gonna say it".

Somehow, it was the first time that I thought "I don't want to slip" while doing a steady circular turn, but it was a very plain thing, but the steady circular turn on this day is the most fruitful for me. I think it was there.

It's embarrassing because it's too low-level story ~ ^^

There is a change in this Sunako Juku!

I wanted to understand the behavior of the front tires with a little more steady circular turning, and after that I wanted to finally go to "Let's slide", but since I was originally late, here time up.

It's lunch time.

Surprise again at this lunch time! !! !!

That's right. This time, Sunako Juku was completely different from what it used to be. Is it because there is no Tomohiko Sunako? !! Is it Tofuya Juku style? !!

What surprised me most about this "unusual Sunako Juku" is ... here! !! !!

Well, the lunch was fried chicken ~! !! !! (Eh, there?).

Because it was always shrimp chili. A fairly large shrimp shrimp chili. I was looking forward to shrimp chili.

It ’s fried chicken. I like it.

But where's the shrimp chili ...

Sunako Saaaaaaaaa. Mr. Tofuya is changing to fried chicken! !! !! !!

… As good, the fried chicken was also delicious ^^

The afternoon session will start from the lecture again

After such lunch time, the afternoon will start with a lecture.

In the afternoon, we will drive using the entire Gymkhana field of Tsukuba Circuit. Mr. Tofuya and Mr. Ara will explain the explanation.

At Sunako Juku on that day (or maybe it's the case these days?), The number of participants was limited to 10, so even if it was full, there were very few participants.

Therefore, even with regard to running using the entire Gymkhana field, I was able to run as much as I could run more and more without taking a break anyway, "Is this a club activity!"

Oh yeah, the sprinkler on that day was a yellow whale. The sprinkler is one of the things I always care about ^^

Oh, and there was another lesson in the morning, not just in a steady circular turn, but there was "Understanding the amount of brakes that can turn most smoothly" and "Connecting the lines well. I also practiced "running" and trying to get an image of that kind of thing.

* The purpose of the practice written here is just my case, at my level. For those at higher levels, the goals to be achieved in practice will change.

It is an afternoon practice while making use of such things.

If you want to learn, you can teach me as much as you want

This time, I had another thought when I participated in Sunako Juku again.

What that means is, "You have to get what you want to learn from yourself."

Sunako Juku, of course, it's a driving lesson, so everyone can drive with them (both instructor driving or passenger's seat), and there are lectures, and after driving, each person says, "A little more like this. It's good, "or even if this (participant) is dumb, please tell me properly.

I think that there is enough to learn from that alone, and I think there are many things to notice.

But this time, I learned more.

As I wrote earlier, it is important to "get what you want to learn from yourself."

Even in the same lesson, I thought that if there was something I didn't understand, I should listen to it more and more. "Is that okay over there?" "What is the correct answer here?" If there is something you don't understand, "listen".

"Why do you practice this?" Because if you don't understand "why you need to do this practice", you don't know what you're aiming for by doing that practice, and this is a temporary shame to hear, and a lifelong shame to not hear.

If you listen to it properly, you will be able to receive more and more "advice to yourself that suits your level" rather than just "tell me", and both Mr. Tofuya and Mr. Ara will do that. Can tell you

"This person (I) isn't aiming for such a professional driver, he's not driving on a circuit, well, is this enough?"

Instead, he teaches me very well, so on the contrary, I

"Huh? Was my goal to be in the Carrera Cup?"

I think it's an illusion (laughs), but I think I'm aiming for a higher place beyond that. He talks so seriously and enthusiastically that he thinks.

Such hot words that speak from the bottom of my heart really resonate, and even if I can't put them into practice right away, I'll gradually understand them in the corner of my head, and various things will happen little by little. But I felt like it was changing.

In fact, after having Mr. Ara do a model run, he said something very rude, such as "Hmm, (running) is too different dimension and I don't know if it was helpful!" Although I am (← really rude (laughs)), if I approach it with the attitude of "I want to know more about 911", he will respond seriously.

I would like to give you a video of Mr. Ara's model running and my running for reference in the afternoon lesson ↓

picture? Don't you need me? Please don't say that. No, it's not worth seeing (laughs). This is up for my memorial and record ^^

First of all, this is Mr. Ara's model run.

However, even though it is a model, it is actually a one-shot production for Mr. Ara, and it is the first run to make this course.

Furthermore, Mr. Ara said that he will drive without changing the seat position of the student's car during the lesson (only when the student is bigger and the pedal can not reach the seat in front of the seat. In other words, even in this video, Mr. Ara is driving in a very narrow seat position for me, who is much smaller than him, too high for him and too far in front.

It's amazing when you think about it, it's a car of a person who rides for the first time, and in a seat position completely different from my own, I can run suddenly with a margin of "I've run hundreds of times". I can only say that.

This is Mr. Ara's running ↓

And this is my run ↓

Compared to Mr. Ara, if there is no beauty when turning after the first brake, at the end it feels like "Is it weak?" Uuu.

But one by one, I was told "I should do that here" and fixed it, then went to ask "What was it?" And "Next time I should do this". I enjoyed the steady accumulation of trying to fix it ...

After all, while learning that kind of thing, at first I couldn't help but have fun, such as turning with full brakes from the full throttle of Carrera.

Carrera has the best sound.

After all, as it happens every time, when I was running in such a driving lesson, my feelings for Carrera started to rise from the middle, and I was transformed into "Black Carrera-san, I love you !!" I'm running full of maximal feelings ^^

Oh, I really love it too much. Porsche 911, why is it such a good car?

Even at Fairlady Z

Oh yeah, my husband also participated in the Fairlady Z on that day, so I exchanged the car at the time of the first steady circular turn and let me do it in the Fairlady Z as well.

Being able to do this is also a privilege of participating in two cars ^ ^

Compared to Porsche 911, Z really slips in a blink of an eye. This was a good experience.

Thank you for meeting Sunako Juku

In 2020, Mr. Black Carrera broke at the very end, which was a shocking event for me, but this time I had Carrera fixed again, and then It was good to be able to enjoy full braking with Carrera without hesitation, just saying "It's fun !!" without worrying about anything.

I've said it many times through this blog, and I'm sorry to be persistent, but after all Porsche 911 is the best, and my own black carrera is still fun to run a lot by myself.

Of course, I know best about my carrera! And, even though I have a strange self-confidence that is completely unfounded (← and I do not know the technical thing at all, so it is a complete emotional theory (laugh)), but I let Mr. Ara run on this day. The "accelerator" and "brake" of my black carrera are completely different from when I was driving when Mr. Ara stepped on it.

I can't say what's different, but it's different.

It's kind of like saying, "Hey, Carrera-san, what are you listening to so honestly !! I like Ara-san more than I do!"

Do you understand ... (laughs)?

Unintentionally, I told Ara-san, "Somehow, when Ara-san drives, Carrera's behavior is different and I'm jealous."

But that's not just an emotional theory, I'm running with Carrera every day thinking "I love you, I love you", but still, after all, Carrera is properly "as Porsche" " Mr. Ara who understands "as a car", understands and runs it, changes the behavior of Carrera tens of thousands of times more than I who has a lot of feelings, and changes it to a wonderful run that makes me think "Is this the same car?" Will give you.

I felt such an obedient black carrera in the passenger seat, which may be strange, but I was really jealous (laughs).

"You can show Ara-san what you haven't shown to me!"

But that's the reality.

And to know such a real Carrera that I do not know yet, and I do not have a desire to race or something like that, but by learning the behavior of each car like this, in the future Porsche 911 will be more While driving happily, I hope not only will it be recklessly fun, but I will also be able to properly understand the movement of the Porsche 911 Carrera and be able to control the car safely.

I like Sunako Juku, a very friendly place.

The same is true for those who are participating, and so are all the instructors and other managers.

I didn't come on this day, but Mr. Sunako, Mr. Tofuya, and Mr. Ara are so amazing people that I can't even get close to them at the time of the race.I was told the bottom storyAnyway, I can talk at a casual level like "Are you a neighbor, not a racing driver?" increase.

Every time I read an article about when Sunako and his friends participated in the race on the car news, I realized again that "Wow, I was able to talk to such amazing people with such ease."

However, even if I think so, when I meet again at the place called Sunako Juku, I will be able to talk strangely and normally and happily.

This time it was a little too long to write, so I will slowly write about what I personally wanted to teach from Mr. Ara on this day.

I am very grateful to Sunako Juku for telling me about such personal questions (of course, it's about driving a car ^^).

On this day, the fear of running in Carrera was really gone. I was just innocent and had only "fun" and "want to know more".

And I could feel the wonderful running of my black carrera that I couldn't see yet.

I really appreciate it. was fun! !! !! At the end of 2020, it was a very nice driving lesson.

I would like to continue participating in the future. Thank you, Mr. Tofuya and Mr. Ara! !!

Next time at shrimp chili (laughs)!

★ Addition (2020.12.28) ★
As I wrote so far, it turned out that the lunch box so far was not shrimp chili (laughs). Until now, the lunch box was stir-fried shrimp eggs. Haha is too terrible mistake (laughs). I'm sorry ~ ^^ But it's true that the shrimp were big and delicious! I used to make shrimp in my brain without permission ~ (after all, anything is fine (laughs)).
