60周年を祝うランボルギーニデー＠鈴鹿サーキット：①ウラカンステラートとの出会い

60th Anniversary Lamborghini Day Japan

On February 23, 2023 (Thursday), Lamborghini Day was held at Suzuka Circuit to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Lamborghini.

Thinking that this would be a great opportunity, my family also made a day trip to Suzuka Circuit from our home in Tokyo on this day in the Huracán EVO~^^

Until now, I hadn't had much time to run long distances with the Huracán EVO, so it was a very enjoyable experience, including driving to and from.

Now, I would like to share with you the Lamborghini Day that I have seen.

Go to Suzuka Circuit with Lamborghini Huracan EVO

On the day of the day, it's dawn... no, it's midnight? After 3 o'clock in the morning, I first filled up with gasoline and left Tokyo, heading for Suzuka in pitch darkness.

My husband drove halfway to Suzuka, and then I drove.

I have bad eyesight, so I can't see well in the dark (compared to when it's bright).

Huracan EVO, is it because the map has not been updated? I thought I was driving on the Shin-Tomei Expressway, but when I looked at the navigation system, it seemed that I was driving on a road without a road.

Where are you running? (laughs)

I left home early so as not to be late, but there was no traffic at all and I was almost at Suzuka Circuit, so this time I stopped by Suzuka PA.

Among them, Suzuka's original formula car race "Formula Enjoy" vehicle and exhibits such as Lewis Hamilton's handprints. As expected of Suzuka.

Suzuka Circuit for the first time

After spending a little time at Suzuka PA, it's time to start again.

After putting gasoline before arriving at Suzuka Circuit, finally to Suzuka Circuit. Hmmm impressed!

for II have run twice to Suzuka Circuit for the purpose of the BMW stamp rallyHowever, at that time, I was only able to get stamps in the middle of the night, so I had only gone as far as "in front of the gate".

This is at that time↓After taking a commemorative photo of the BMW M3 in front of the gate, we were heading to our next destination. nostalgic ^^

So, this time, I was able to enter the Suzuka Circuit for the first time after going through the Suzuka gate, and I was moved just by that alone.

From the beginning, I was screaming, "Wow, I've entered Suzuka!"

Although I adjusted the time at Suzuka PA, I still arrived quite early, so I was grateful that the parking position that I was guided to was quite the best position.

Oh yeah, there was a miracle this time as we headed to this Lamborghini day.

A chance encounter with an acquaintance Urus when it was running on the Shin-Tomei.

When I was driving leisurely in the center lane, thinking, "I'm scared of the dark," I suddenly looked in the side mirror and saw a Urus running from behind on the right.

When I thought, "Huh? Urs?", this car was an acquaintance who had been in contact with me in advance, saying, "Would you like to go to Lamborghini Day?"

Great coincidence. I didn't expect to be together when I was driving around Nagoya on the Shin-Tomei.

When Urus came, I, who had been running leisurely until then, wanted to see it, and it was just dawn and it was getting a little brighter, so I followed behind.

This is the Urus that I encountered ↓ The brown metallic Urus.

This Lamborghini Day celebrates the 60th anniversary of Lamborghini, and this 60th anniversary logo is everywhere.

It's cute that the 60 characters look like a cow... No, it's cool. It's a fighting bull.

near the receptionUrspel Formante, which was premiered in Japan last yearand a Japanese drum performance.

Lamborghini often collaborates with shamisen and taiko drums.

I would like to go to the reception.

This Lamborghini Day @ Suzuka Circuit was also the starting point of the Lamborghini GIRO Japan, Lamborghini's official driving tour, so all the GIRO participants were there.

After you check in, you will receive this tag, so you will wear it and participate in the event for one day.

Furthermore, on this day, applicants were allowed to run the parade of the circuit in the order of reception, so I applied here as well.

As we arrived early, we were the 4th runner in the first of several parade runs.

This tag is attached to the rearview mirror of the car.

After completing the reception, you have free time until the driver's meeting for the first parade run.

I went to the long-awaited Suzuka Circuit tour.

I will go out from the pit to the course. Ahh, I'm so impressed. First Suzuka Circuit.

You can even see the Ferris wheel!

I was so excited that the first thing that surprised me was when I saw this straight.

Is the home straight of Suzuka Circuit so downhill? ? surprised. The degree of descent that you can only realize for the first time when you actually stand in front of you. It's amazing ~.

Lamborghini Day Lounge

The whole course can be seen in the parade run later, so for the time being, I was impressed by seeing a part of the home straight and the pit, so I went to the lounge prepared by Lamborghini.

This is the lounge ↓ Others were prepared separately for families and GIRO participants.

I wonder if this place is like the so-called Crystal Room at Fuji Speedway.

I was able to watch the game from this room or even outside, so this is good ^ ^

Free drinks in the lounge. Presented by JW Marriott.

oh. this bike isWhat was on display at the previous Lamborghini Day in November 2022is not it. cool.

Lamborghini Huracan Stellato

And the main car displayed in this lounge was this Lamborghini Huracán Stellato.

My first encounter with a real car.

Hmmm, isn't that cool! !

But with this cool Lamborghini, I'm the only one who doesn't feel like driving off-road, even if it's a Stellato... (laughs)?

I'm sure it will demonstrate excellent driving performance even on off-road, and you can see it in the videos that Lamborghini has released, but even so, if I ride the Stellato, the ride height will be higher. Even if I say, it seems that I can't go off-road because I'm too concerned about "Ah, ah, no, I can't go because I'll rub my lip" ^ ^

The logo of Sterrato looks like this.

There is also an LED light on the front. It looks like an image that doesn't look like Huracan if you cut it only here (laughs).

The DJ was playing music next to this Stellato on display, and I felt that the feeling and atmosphere of the music selection was the same as the previous Lamborghini Day, so I said, "Maybe November Were you a DJ at Lamborghini Day?”

Then it was the same person

I personally like it very much, so I'm glad I was able to tell you about it. Even so, brother, you look young, but when you see that vanilla ice is put in on the way, is it actually the same generation? (laughs)

It was a tour of Stellato while enjoying the music. Lambo events are often loud and lively, and that's one of the things I really like.

Oh yeah, when I looked at the part of the Stellato where this bolt was fixed, the shape around the bolt was a hexagon, which is one of the characteristics of Lamborghini.↓

When I looked at the bolt part of Urspel Formante, the shape around it was not hexagonal, so I thought there was a small difference around here.

Here is Urspel Formante ↓

Since it's a big deal, I also have a picture of Ursperformante that was on display.

The bonnet part was white and carbon, but although the bonnet part is all carbon, it seems that there was a part that was intentionally made white in the design (I'm sorry if it's wrong).

I was happy to be able to slowly show Urspel Formante as well ^^

If you think about thisThe very first article on the blog is about when I was shown Ursu for the first time.That's right (even though it's a Porsche blog (laughs)).

When the Urus was announced, I couldn't help but want it, and I remember shouting "Urus, Urus" every day.

Now my Urus fever has calmed down and I can now watch Wolf Performante without making a fuss (laughs), but I still think Urus is cool ^^

Well, it looks like it's going to be long, so let's continue. continued →Lamborghini Day @ Suzuka Circuit celebrating the 60th anniversary: ② Parade run and exhibition cars
