Blancpain GT Asia @ FSW Part 2: Porsche Pit Tour

Posted: July 25, 2018 Updated:

Porsche team pit tour at "Blancpain GT Series ASIA Races 7-8 (Blancpain GT Series Asia Round 7 & Round 8)"

One of the benefits of applying to support the Porsche team is that you can tour the pits of the Porsche team. They will put you in the pit just before the race and let you see it. amazing!

On the first day, there was an announcement saying, "Due to the regulation, you may be disqualified if you touch the car, so please do not touch the car!" It's no good !! ”, and he controlled the movement of the child tightly.

If you put it inside, there will be a lot of mecha and staff ...

Porsche who somehow introduces himself to the race queens in front of the car. Is it there? While thinking (laughs), well, it's a relaxing time.

The first day was taken only from the back of the car.

It seems that all the gasoline used for this Blancpain GT series is specified. Working before putting gasoline in the car.

There are mechas, staff, people taking a break, and people who seem to be busy in various ways.

Was this day ready before the race? It is on standby in the "don't touch" state.

About the relationship between Porsche and Porsche owner ...

While watching the game, EBI Marketing's older sister (representative director) said, "Usually, it is impossible to disclose the state of the car before the race. Make it so that customers can see it (pit tour), maybe Then, even though the most important information such as the setting status of the car may be disclosed by the customer on SNS etc. before the race, it is still possible for us to observe and challenge the race with it is our Porsche team. " It was said that.

but. I think it is a fact that I am very grateful that I was allowed to tour the pit just before the race and all the shooting was OK, but on the other hand, "The customer side who is allowed to tour is also before the race. I think that it is a mutual thoughtful relationship that is established because it is thorough that Porsche does not betray Porsche by leaking important car setting information to the outside on SNS. ..

I would never post anything that would be disadvantageous to Mr. Porsche, and I think that was the case with everyone who met there.

Also, in the pit next door, the D'Station people who agreed that Porsche customers would visit the pit also gave us permission to visit the pit by trusting us customers. I think it is. I think I have no choice but to think here based on the innate goodness theory. I believe that no one is bad for Porsche lovers!

I am also grateful to D'Station, who was next to me for accepting the pit tour. thank you.

By the way, for some reason, the pit tour on the second day is OK even if you go around in front of the car. I don't know what the difference in the situation from the first day (only from the back or from the front is OK) ...

For the time being, it was OK to touch it in front of, sideways, or touch it, so everyone took a commemorative photo with the car.

By the way, the difference between Suzuka and this time as a Fuji car is that Fuji has returned to the specifications at the time of 2017, the vehicle height has become lower, and the angle of the wings behind has been changed to a much flatter. It was about. And is it like a slit in front of the front tires? Is gone.

The mecha who was right next to the car taught me various things, such as the fact that the body of the car is made of carbon in a considerable proportion, and that the tires are also made of carbon. Thank you for explaining.

There is also a GT3R notation on the front side.

The mechas were doing some work while we were taking a leisurely tour. I'm sorry for the work in the presence of many such tours ...

Put it on the GT3R just before the Blancpain GT Asia Final!

Moreover! On the first day, I was told "Never touch the car", but for some reason, on the second day, "If you want to ride with children, please!" You put it on (laughs) l Is that okay? ?? ?? My child was also on board without omission.

I don't think my kids knew at all how great the miracle of being in a GT car just before entering this race (laughs), but I'm very excited as a parent.

By the way, the seat of this car is completely Yamano driver specification, and it is handmade from 1. Basically, the system is similar for the brothers, so it was said that the specifications would be tailored to the driver (brother) of Tetsuya Yamano, created at Museo Gotemba, and adjusted to suit the brothers.

I feel like I was told, "Yes, I'm making it at Museo Gotemba" in response to my question, "Are you making it in Japan?" I heard that, but now that I'm writing this, is there a facility that can do that? ?? I became anxious. I'm sorry if I misunderstood (laughs).

This is where we are refueling the car with the gasoline that is decided to be used in the Blancpain GT series. All cars must use the specified gasoline. What's more, you can enter from such a place!

The driver's name is on the side top of the car.

I just got out of the pit to the pit lane. The grid walk (which you can see with the cars lined up on the straight grid before the race) hasn't started yet, so no one has come out yet.

When I was allowed to see the car etc., the driver Yamano brothers appeared, so I took a commemorative photo!

It's a luxurious time! Even though it was just before the race, I was worried that it would be okay if I didn't feel such a loose tension (laughs).

I really felt that I had no choice but to do my best safely! In this way, I was happy just to be here as a member who can support the Porsche team! !!

Continued on the grid walk ...
