Run the Sodegaura Forest Raceway with the 992 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

I did a 992 test drive about the leading car

The other day, when I took a test drive of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S at the Sodegaura Forest Raceway, I was able to drive the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S as well.

This is the car. It's always cool, Porsche 911 ↓

As for the Porsche 911, I usually ride a 991.2 Carrera and until last monthI was also riding a Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2)From that, you can understand the basic operation ...

Furthermore, about the new Porsche 911 type 992, beforeI have done a test drive in the citySo, I knew it somehow, so I got into the car with a feeling of "fun !!" without feeling nervous.

992 type Porsche 911, even though it is not a sports run with a leading car, it is completely different to run on the circuit, after all it is completely different from running in the city or on the highway, so anyway, I am worried about "speed violation" I was very happy just to be able to run without doing it ^ ^

Regarding the test drive of Taycan, I only wanted to know what kind of car Taycan is, so I did not think about the course of the circuit in particular, and anyway, I concentrated on "just following the leading car" After that, I was running thinking "Let's concentrate on the Taycan character unique to Taycan".

But.

Maybe you can run the Sodegaura Forest Raceway on Porsche 992 on this day? It was a situation that seemed to me, so if that happened, regarding the Porsche 992 ... It was already decided to ride for the purpose of "enjoying the 992 on the circuit", I.

Although it is a hero hero driving, even though I am an amateur hero hero, I still do not have a chance to run 992 on the Sodegaura Forest Raceway, so I will enjoy this precious experience as much as possible. I have to do it !! "

Learn from Seiji Ara's circuit capture video

That's why ... Actually.

ha ha ha

That is right. Unless anyone said, "Please attack the circuit seriously!", I knew that this time it was a "test drive to experience the car", which was not so fast.

Hi, I studied about Sodegaura Forest Raceway well in advance. I'm too enthusiastic (laughs).

No, because if you can get such a chance, you will be hit if you do not experience it properly with the thought of 100% that I can have.

It is too rude to both Porsche and Porsche Japan to go without advance preparation for such a wonderful experience. I will prepare well while being an amateur ^ ^

So, I checked the course of Sodegaura Forest Raceway, simulated it in my head, and evenPorsche truck experienceI learned by watching You Tube in advance, where Mr. Ara from the world, who is also an instructor of the Sodegaura Forest Raceway, talks about how to capture the Sodegaura Forest Raceway.

While wondering what I was going to do, I learned the points of the circuit course.

Yeah, I'm writing and it really seems like "I'm too enthusiastic" (laughs).

No, that's not the case! There is no waste! I think that it was because of this prior study that I was able to run the Sodegaura Forest Raceway with Taycan and 992 in a more enjoyable way.

This is a video I learned as a preliminary study ↓

In fact, when I was running at 992, "Oh, Mr. Ara said,'Oh, it's better to turn like stepping on the black part beyond that red curb,'" I ran while thinking. Even though it's a test drive!

Whether or not I was able to do what Mr. Ara taught me, it was very good to see the course running in the video in advance.

I'm not running sports, but while I'm running at 992The word "maximum rudder angle in front of the clip" by Tomohiko SunakoIs always in my head. Well, that's why I was aiming for a test drive (laughs).

The exhaust sound of Porsche 911 is something that grows

By the way, when I started running on the 992, the first thing I thought was "It's completely different from the Taycan!" Is the exhaust sound of the gasoline engine.

The acceleration sound of Taycan's "Hyui-n" was also the best, but after all this sound of 911 is too great.

However, as soon as I started running, I thought, "Isn't the sound a little quiet?" And said, "Oh, you surely had a sports exhaust, right? It's not turned on right now, right?" In order to do that, I searched for a place to switch.

However, I'm not so used to 992 yet, so I was confused as to "Where are you switching spoeki? !!!".

Since I was running on the circuit, I was more attached, but I managed to find it and turned on Spoeki.

Hmm?

However, I feel that it was not the sound that "this, this, this !! this sound!" Than I expected. After all, my black carrera (late 991 bass model) Spoeki seemed to sound overwhelmingly better.

When I ran the Fuji Speedway beforeThe sound of black carrera was such a wonderful sound that I couldn't forget, and I couldn't forget the sound of black carrera. To do.

However, I didn't feel the sound of "This is the best!" For this 992. Of course, it sounds good. However, I thought that this difference in sound was probably the result of "the sound grew" because my 911 was already riding a long distance and was running at full throttle many times.

In other words, what I felt this time was, "After all, Porsche's (but not) sound grows."

The latest Porsche is the best PorscheI think that, but even so, just because this sound is up to date does not mean that it is the best from the beginning, and it still takes some time to make the best sound. ..

With that in mind, I can't seem to let go of the black carrera, which sounds too good for me ^^

Even with this 992 type Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, we fully opened it on the home straight. The Taycan was amazing, but after all 911 is also amazing. Great feeling of acceleration. I really like 911, which changes suddenly the moment it opens fully.

Difference in consciousness when driving Taycan and Porsche 911

This time, when I ran the Porsche electric car Taycan and the latest Porsche 911 on the circuit, I thought about comparing these two cars ... This may also be my strange feeling. The engine sound is something that supports or inspires me.

What I thought was that when I fully opened the Porsche 911 or ran at a high speed, the exhaust sound emitted from the engine raised my feelings, and I felt more like "Go, go!" ..

But that so-called GT3 is Dogone! There is no exhaust sound like Carrera's boo (that is, what a tiny sound I express (laughs)), just the sound of "Hui-n", and the rest Taycan, who is quite quiet while driving, thought that he could actually "focus more on running."

This is not the story of running in the city. It's a story when running on a circuit or at high speed.

Unlike 911, where the sound inspires me even more, I run on the circuit in a world where there is no sound that inspires me ... In a sense, it may lead to more concentration on "running". I wondered if there was one.

You can concentrate on the fact that running purely is fun.

Exhaust sound, I love it, so it may be strange to say that I love driving while listening to that sound, but when a professional racer runs, it is actually better to drive with a Taycan. I thought that I might concentrate on operation and driving.

That's why I think that Mark Webber and Lars Khan are more likely to run Taycan and think "It's amazing!" Than the average person.

I don't know, but ^^ (as usual)

It was a test drive of the Taycan and Porsche 911 (992) circuit that made me think of such things.

It was a lot of fun. I am truly grateful for this opportunity. thank you very much! !!
