Ferrari Racing Days 2018: Part 5 Sports drive (sports driving) Maximum speed 273km!

Held at Fuji Speedway for 2 days from June 30th (Sat) to July 1st (Sun), 2018Ferrari Racing Days 2018On the first day of the event, I applied for two things, "Family Drive" and "Sports Drive", so this time I will talk about "Sports Drive".

Same as for family drive, To participate in sports driving, you must participate in a preliminary briefing. Once again, from the hospitality lounge, walk down the long corridor to the briefing room near the edge of the building.

Every time I walked in the outer corridor, the sight I saw was Ferrari-sama! This spectacle is always spreading in front of me, so what an environment it really is.

Even if it is a circuit called Fuji Speedway, the extraordinary feeling is amazing, and when many Ferraris spread out in front of me, the extraordinary feeling was not complete anymore.

In this briefing as well, the driver will first sign the disclaimer form.I was signing when I was driving a familyHowever, I had to sign it separately this time. Also, passengers are not allowed in sports driving, so basically only the driver signs.

If you can sign on the paper, the time and name of the running frame will be confirmed again, and if you get OK, you will get a sticker for sports running and you can enter the briefing room.

↑ The yellowish sticker that says 2nd is a sticker for sports driving.

The reason for the 2nd is that we were applying for the time of "the second frame of sports drive". Paste this from the outside, around the parking pass and family drive stickers.

When lining up at the entrance of the circuit, check if the person who is applying for the correct running frame with this sticker is in the right place at the right time.

The sports drive briefing is different from the simple one at the time of family drive, and the explanation of the type of flag posted on the circuit (explaining what to do if the yellow flag appears, etc.) is also firmly done. I was.

Also, when the last question was "Do you have any questions?", No questions were asked during the family drive, but some questions were asked during the sports drive.

What impressed me was that there was a range of questions from those who were new to the circuit to those who probably ran a lot on a regular basis.

For example, from the question "Do I have to wear a racing suit?", "I'm thinking of bleeding the tires a little for circuit driving, but is there a place where I can re-air after the race?" ..

Also, one of the things that was said at the briefing was "Be sure to attach a tow hook before driving."

When I heard that, I thought, "Well, I didn't bring a tow hitch. What should I do?", But it's normally installed in a car ... I didn't know at all. ← Too ignorant.

yeah? Perhaps this kind of thing is properly included in Porsche? ?? When I think about it, I have no idea what is installed in my car and where, so when I take this opportunity, I would like to check my car as well. I have no knowledge about this, so I have to do something about it.

So, here is the tow hook that came out from under the trunk.

Please attach this when you are lined up before driving. When I handed the hook, "Please," he said, "Please," and he quickly put it on.

When I was looking at it, I knew the location, and I turned it around like a screw, so I can do this myself from the next time if necessary! (lie)

This person got in by car and quickly handed over the hook from the window and had him attach it. The series of flows is very dignified ^ ^

Well, that's right. Passengers are not allowed on this sports drive, so of course I can't ride either.

that's why! When my husband was preparing to run by wearing a racing suit, I changed the parts and changed the specification so that GoPro can be attached to the window.

Actually, it seems that I forgot one small part to bite in between, so I could not bend it to the angle I wanted to bend (laugh), but well, there is a beginner who touched GoPro for the first time a few hours ago. I'm Yoshi because it's charming.

Installation is completed on the passenger seat window like this.

Even if it is attached to the outside of the car body, is it 240 km / h? It seems that it can withstand up to that point, but I don't have the courage to do that suddenly, so I installed it inside.

I've successfully set up my GoPro, so I'm leaving here. Well, I'm not running, but I'm nervous again! !! !!

Were other people nervous too? Or is the person who actually runs more excited than nervous?

No, but (maybe because I was nervous), I feel that the lines of cars waiting for me were more nervous than when I was on a family drive ^^

Finally, I will go around and enter the circuit. Everyone, have fun and do your best ~, see you off.

After seeing off ..., I moved to another place immediately. If you want to run with all your might, I would like to take a picture of "running" from the outside.

I thought I could take a picture, and while recording a video, I thought I'd try to find my husband's car ... but ... well, I can't do it from this place! !!

It may be that someone is running, so I will post a video from the first point. ↓ This is the second sports drive frame on June 30, 2018.

In the above place, I can not shoot unless I avoid the fence through the fence, I can not see the cars all the time because the light is dazzling from the front, and the distance to the car is unexpectedly far, so my eyes I don't know which car is ours because I can't see the number number well! It was too difficult (laughs).

By the way, the song at this time was Shawn Mendes' Treat You Better. I just ask ... I don't need music!

So, I moved from here in a hurry. The aim is here. When I was driving a family, there were people who had a lot of cameras around here when I saw it from inside the car, so I thought it would be easier to take pictures here.

It's a place where the speed slows down, but that's why it's easy to distinguish.

Oh. I'm here, I'm here. This may be easy to see.

If you take a quick look at this place for about one lap, you can see which of your husband's cars is from the second lap. For the time being, I am relieved to be able to take videos and photos. If I didn't understand at all and said "I'm sorry I couldn't shoot", I thought it was bad, so I'm glad I didn't.

Here, only one video from this place.

As before, this is the second run of the sports drive on June 30th. The problem here is that the speakers are too close and the music gets too big ... but, well, the song selection was Justin Bieber's Despacito, so let's say OK.

Speaking of songs, most of the music that was playing at FSW on that day was almost the same as the song selection I usually hear at Porsche, so even though this is outside again, it is somehow in my car I was feeling like that.

My husband also said, "It looks like you're in Porsche." Most of the time, it's a trendy thing in Western music, so I think it's a place where such songs are selected ^^

By the way, this is the one that caught my husband's sports drive (although it is a distant one) ↓

I didn't bring a single-lens reflex camera when I said "taken", but this time I only took it with my smartphone, so in reality, there is no such thing as "taken!" (Laughs).

But I'm glad that I was able to take some pictures properly.

And here is a shot from the video taken with GoPro ↓ Since the video was also taken properly, I was able to see the video with GoPro and the video of the dashcam from the front.

Pick up the car that came back and try touching the tires for the time being! !! Oh. Petopeto-san!

A tire shop that was installed outside because of the tire connection? ↓ photos are also posted.

yes! and. This sports drive. My husband was the first Ferrari circuit, but when I checked it later, I found that the maximum speed was "273km" on the home straight. Quite fast! I'm impressed that Ferrari, which ran on the circuit for the first time, was able to step on this far.

Well, it's not the first time to run on the circuit, but even so, I thought 273km was amazing. When I think that Kari T will come out so much, it's kind of amazing. Moreover, it is running with the air conditioner on (laughs).

At the top of this article, I wrote that "GoPro (suction cup) can withstand up to 240 km / h even if it is attached to the outside of the car", but it was good not to attach it outside. At 273 kg, I can't stand it (laughs). It is truly Ferrari. The speed to shake off GoPro.

I met a Cornes salesperson on the way, but even after the sports drive was over, I happened to meet again and said, "I saw it !! I also recorded a video!". I was so happy that I recorded the video and watched it ^^

It's okay to pull out other people's cars for sports driving, so everyone was pulling out and pulling out quite a bit.

No, anyway, everyone was able to finish the sports run safely without any accidents, and above all. Thank you to everyone who was sports driven.
