Blancpain GT Asia @ FSW Part 6: Support Porsche in Round 8 of the 2nd day!

Support the Porsche team with "Blancpain GT Series ASIA Races 7-8 (Blancpain GT Series Asia Round 7 & Round 8)"!

Of course, we will support the Porsche team in Round 8 on the second day of Sunday, July 22, 2018.

Naoya Yamano and Tetsuya drivers came to the Crystal Room from the morning to look back on yesterday's race and talk about how to challenge today's race.

We didn't participate, but on the night of the first dayMuseo GotenbaThere was also a party to eat with the drivers, so Mr. Yamano and his friends were detained at night ... I think they were quite tired.

Furthermore, for the talk show of the day, the editing of the video shown on that day was done at night ... Even though he was a driver (laughs)! However, on this day, I was able to see various things such as the GoPro from the perspective of Mr. Yamano and the video taken with the GoPro installed in the car, so the content was very fulfilling.

Even so, it was interesting to say that Naoya Yamano said, "Someone who came to the dinner show last night ..." and corrected "Oh, it's not a dinner show" (laughs). But I'm sure he was attending with the feeling of holding a dinner show. Even though I am a driver, I also have a mission to increase customer satisfaction, and I think it is really amazing to be moving around so powerfully. Thanks.

Well, on the second day, I finished the pit tour and grid walk, and then I just waited for the start of the race.

I watched the game from the crystal room on the first day, but the Porsche salesman took me to the place called "TGR corner" which is the first corner on the second day, so at first Watch the game from there.

It was really hot, but it's completely different from looking through the glass or the screen, it's good! The power is different.

Cars running through in front of you one after another.

At first, I don't really know who is where, but after watching a couple of laps, do my eyes get used to it (laughs)? Now that I know which team is in which area, it's becoming more fun to watch. Even so, it's hot outside ...

That's why I came outside so I took a little shot with a single-lens reflex camera here as well. In front of the Porsche sales person, the nerd degree is fully open (laugh) ↓.

However. There is a wire mesh in this corner. Yet again. Therefore, it is still quite impossible for me to shoot the car for the second time, focusing only on the car running at a tremendous speed with manual focus over the wire mesh and shooting it. I tried taking the first few shots and gave up shooting them.

After all, if you want to take a picture, you have to decide "take a picture!" And go to a place where there is no wire mesh properly (laugh) ← It is natural. Next time, I'd like to shoot from a place where there are no obstacles in front of me.

Well, it was a good memorial and experience! I stopped shooting in the sink, and after that I focused on shooting the Excellence Bright.

It's cool! !!

So, I went to the crystal room again. Ah, how comfortable it is. Porsche people also gathered and nailed in front of the screen. EBI's older sister explained the race on this day as well, so I enjoyed it in an easy-to-understand manner. Thank you very much!

You can also see where and what car is running on the course, Wakalyasui ↓.

As a result, the Porsche team on that day was "15th". Yamano brothers, thank you for your hard work ~. Mechas waving and waiting for the Bright to return. Something is good ~.

Just next door was the Mercedes team that won the 8th round this time, so I was able to see the mecha and staff hugging each other and rejoicing. Even though it's a team of people, I was impressed to see everyone hugging each other and being happy (laughs).

The Bright is back. Thank you for your support. Anyway, I was able to finish the race and came back.

Drivers and everyone who greet everyone in the Crystal Room from the outside.

One child said, "What's your dad? Where's your dad?" And stuck to the glass. yeah? I thought it was Naoya Yamano's child. After that, my dad noticed me and waved my hand. "Daddy!" ... too cute! !! Daddy, it was cool! !!

That's why it was the 7th & 8th rounds of Blancpain GT Asia that ended successfully. It was a lot of fun to be able to watch the race with everyone who came to support the Porsche team, Porsche.

On the second day, a customer sitting at the same table played with my child, and while watching the race, I was thrilled and had a relaxing time. Thank you!

And on the 1st and 2nd day, I am very grateful to the Porsche sales staff for picking up and dropping off between the parking lot and the paddock on the way back and forth. Also, the other Porsche staff were always smiling and responding, and they were all really nice people. Thank you very much.

Thank you to all Porsche for always having fun! I really love Porsche, cars and people ~.
