Seiji Ara won the BMW M6 GT3 riding together! … But FSW fully open driving experience with M4 GT4

BMW Motorsport Festival 2019 Racing Car Taxi

BMW event "BMW Motorsport Festival 2019" held at Fuji Speedway on June 23, 2019.

I participated in this event, but in addition to pre-registration and registration, various types of FSW driving and riding together were prepared by lottery with the application on the day.

The items that were applied for and drawn on the day are as follows.

The application form is posted in the application box, and the winning is a lottery format on the bulletin board.

There are two types of lottery formats. The first is to fill in the desired program and time frame on the application form and post it in the application box.

When you receive the application form, you will be given a lottery number in exchange, so you will need to check later whether the lottery number is on the "Posted Winning Number". That is the following three programs.

• BMW M Taxi Drive (FSW main course driving with M model driven by a professional driver)
• Special Test Drive (FSW main course driving by driving various M models by yourself)
• BMW Test Drive (Drive your own BMW on a short course)

Winning announcements will be posted at a fixed time like this.

The lottery number will be distributed on the main stage, and Ara will announce the winners on the main stage.

The second lottery format, the following two programs, were the main lottery programs at this event.

Here, lottery tickets will be distributed on the main stage only twice at a fixed time, and when it is time to announce the winning, professional driver Seiji Ara will draw a lottery number on the main stage and on the spot Winners will be announced.

If the winners do not raise their hands immediately after being there, the winners will be invalid, so many people gathered around the stage when the winners were announced.

There are two main lottery programs on this day.

• M-Town Taxi (M TOWN TAXI running on M TOWN has appeared, and FSW main course running with it)
• Racing Car Taxi (FSW main course running on BMW Team Studie M racing car)

Miraculous encounter at Fuji Speedway

This time, I missed all the lottery in the form of putting the application form in the first application box (No, it seems that this was also a great magnification), but I was seriously aiming for the first. The "racing car taxi" is the highest program of this event.

How, you can ride a BMW Team Studie M racing car (M6 GT3 or M4 GT4) and ride in the passenger seat of a serious run where a professional driver runs the FSW main course with a serious full throttle.

When Ara also drew the lottery number, it was declared on the main stage that "(in this ride) I will run at full throttle with slick tires!"

Of the only two lottery, I went to get the first lottery ticket. It seems that the number of people who gathered for the lottery ticket is over 700 people against the lottery ticket distributed under the main stage in the yellow circle ↓

The lottery tickets were distributed more and more, so it was a tremendous number of people, but it wasn't lined up for a long time forever, and it was quite efficient and I was able to get the lottery tickets quickly.

My first lottery number is ...

e. 571.

Isn't this "not coming"? The moment I thought.

The child who looked into the number from the neighbor said, "Oh, that's not coming! It's impossible!", He pointed out that I didn't want to admit it, and I didn't want him to say it. Hmmm, I wonder if this is "not coming" (laughs).

I think there is a problem with having almost given up in this way, but when I saw this "Konai (571)", I was disappointed and still couldn't win in disappointing mode. You have to feel better ~.

The moment I raised my face thinking that it was no good, then I wondered if I would go to play again until the next lottery.

I had an eye with a certain person. e? that? Well, "What are you doing !!!"

Yes, I was there beforeSunako Juku, where I took a car driving lessonMr. Kochiya who is an instructor of.

When I asked him what he was doing, "What are you doing! General public participation ??", the reply was "Today is a BMW event, Porsche is prohibited!" (Laughs).

No, I was told that, but more than that! !! "Mr. Sunako is now in Suzuka to participate in the Blancpain GT, so I'm running instead, so I'm the driver of the M4 GT4 of this racing car taxi today!"

* By the way, at this time, Blancpain GT @ Suzuka Circuit, BMW M4 GT4, which is the 81st car of BMW Team Studie in GT4 class, Tomohiko Sunako & Mr. Kinoshita won the 4th pole to win ^ ^ Congratulations!

So, back to the story, yeah yeah yeah! !! !! !! The racing car taxi M4 GT4 is BMW Team Studie's No. 82 car, which is it! !! !! ↓

Lie! !! Isn't it exactly what I lost in the lottery right now! !!

"Eh !!!! Maybe if I win this, will I be able to ride in the passenger seat of Mr. Tofuya's driving ?? Will you seriously drive at full throttle?" I will ask you.

Isn't it amazing?

The instructor who has always been indebted to me by chance at this wide FSW is the driver of the racing car taxi that I really wanted to ride this time.

This is a miracle. I really thought, "I have no choice but to guess."

Before the second lottery, I went to the pit and asked Mr. Tofuya, "I'll definitely hit it! Wait!" Declaration of war? What (laughs)?

With a probability of 5/700 ... to win

And it was time for the second lottery.

My lottery number this time is "375". Yeah, this number doesn't mean "I don't come", and I might have a chance.

It's finally time for the announcement. Ara reaches the stage and begins to draw lottery numbers.

At this time, an older sister who was distributing Red Bull to me and my children came and gave me Red Bull (laughs).

He talked to his sister and children, saying, "I can't drink if I'm under 18", and the children also said, "Well, this is a great color."

So, I drank the Red Bull that I had opened ... What did you say now?

e? Didn't the moderator's sister say "No. 375" on the stage right now? ?? ?? ??

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! I'm here, number 375! I'm drinking Red Bull! No, I'm here ~! !! I hurried to the stage.

No, I could only say that this was a miracle.

It was a racing car taxi that only 5 out of 700 people could win, and Seiji Ara's BMW M6 GT3 was on board. It's too miraculous! !! !!

I'm alive only with luck (laughs), so I think I'm pretty good luck, but I don't think I'll win this racing car taxi. I'm impressed. Thank you Ara for drawing the number (crying)! !! !!

After receiving the pledge and the tag saying that you will be riding the first car (M6GT3), you will return to the children and Red Bull's older sister. Oh, I left the children completely and left it to Red Bull's older sister ^ ^

I came back and said "Wow!" With my sister and children.

Here, at a later dateWebCG articleIt was on ↓

I was able to become the "winner who got the platinum ticket". I really appreciate it. Thank you ^^

Red Bull avoids wings

He told Red Bull's older sister, "This is a win for winning by drinking Red Bull!", And she also said, "Please upload it to SNS!" I've done it, so I'll upload it ^^ (I'm sorry to hide me! I've agreed to post my sister).

Immediately after this, I will contact Mr. Tofuya. "I'm going to ride because I hit it !!!" (laughs). Mr. Tofuya also said, "Huh ?! Did you hit it ?! Really ?!"

Actually, on this day, I was really enthusiastic about hitting this racing car taxi and a special test drive, so I was worried about not only having long sleeves and long pants, but also taking a helmet from home. It was about to go out. I'm too enthusiastic (laughs).

However, it was said that you could lend it if you hit it, so this time I will rent it.

Change from M6GT3 to M4GT4

It's time to head to pit 4. Ah, I'm thrilled.

And. Here, I actually won the race with Ara's M6 GT3, but I dared to change it to Mr. Tofuya's M4 GT4.

Hi, I'm sure some of you thought, "Mottainai! It's a drumstick!"

However, for me, I happened to meet a person who is taking care of me as an instructor at Sunako Juku at this large venue, and I heard that he is the driver of this racing car taxi. I think it was a enthusiastic win, so I thought it was more important for me to get in Mr. Tofuya's car this time.

Ara, actually not in my group,Porsche truck experience the other dayYou also came as an instructor.

So, this time, I felt a lot of connection with Ara, but I believe that one day I will be able to ride Ara again, so this time it started from Sunako Juku. I wanted to cherish this relationship, so I changed it ^ ^ (* The person who changed it kindly agreed, there was no problem & BMW is also OK).

It's finally my turn.

And here, this time, for a short distance to get into the car ... These wonderful people escorted me! !! Yes, the two race queens. ↓

Do you understand? In this way, the race queen's older sister guides the passengers with an umbrella (it was not raining at this time ^^) to the passenger seat of the car ↓. great.

They will guide you to the place where you get in, and when you get in the car, the staff will firmly fasten your 6-point seat belt.

The race queen's older sister was very cute ^^ The smile is wonderful.

Even though I am of the same sex, I was very happy to meet a beautiful older sister and escort me, so I thought that I would have been more happy if I was a man ↓

My turn came and I was guided ... The moment I got into the car, I said "No!" With Mr. Tofuya (laughs). What is this glue? Before the start, Mr. Tofuya also said, "This is already Sunako Juku !!"

I also had a conversation saying, "Please give me your best lap time, please do it seriously! I will report all of today's runs to Mr. Sunako !!"

Team Studie was also preparing and I was seen asking "What are these two people?" ^^ No, really, the probability that such acquaintances will be together in the M racing car riding together, I think it's hard to do. Already, Mr. Tofuya and I are completely Nori of Sunako Juku.

I can't take pictures while riding, so I don't have any images or videos, but the other day.I wished that I would like to experience running on the FSW racing line in earnest.However, it didn't work. BMW's proud M4 GT4 ran seriously. Impressed.

However, I couldn't take a cute feminine attitude, such as "Kya", even when I was racing (laughs), "Huh, this is the line", "After all, it's like the GR Supra corner or the Panasonic corner. I wonder if there will be a difference in the corners where more control is needed. "

Ah, I wish I could have a cute feminine reaction like "Cha ~ scary ~! Amazing ~!", But what is this calmness (laughs).

Even after driving, the first impression that "No, bucket seats are essential for circuit driving" comes out first.

The other dayWhen I led the FSW with my 911Although it wasn't a terrific full-throttle run like this time, it was difficult to control my body from being affected by a normal seat, and I had the experience of having a backache for the first time after driving the 911, and maybe He seemed to be quite fluffy to support his body, and the next day, he had a muscle pain in his leg.

This time, I experienced running with a full bucket seat + 6-point seat belt, and even with this fully open running, if it is a full bucket, it will hold my body so much! I was really impressed. Too wonderful.

Oh yeah, by the way, on this day, the road surface was a little wet, so I saw somewhere that even Ara's M6 GT3 kept the home straight to about 270 km, but at this time I let him ride. The home straight of the M4 GT4 I received is 260 km. I was able to experience quite a speed.

Also, according to Mr. Tofuya, I was on board for the 4th time out of 4 times, so I was grateful that the tires were warmest and in the best condition.

Thank you, Mr. Tofuya, for a very enjoyable and wonderful experience. It is a miracle that I enjoyed the full throttle of the FSW main course with Mr. Tofuya's M4 GT4 this time. ... Well, I have to make a real useless thing that I can't write here next time, Mr. Sunako ... That's a lie ~ ^^! I'm sorry, I just wrote it at the drinking party, I (laughs).

Now, while I was enjoying racing, I had the kids wait while eating at a restaurant. It seems that he was watching from the restaurant, "I saw you running!"

After all it was a miracle of "Sako Juku"

Oh yeah, and finally.

The first lottery was "571" and "Konai" was rejected. And the second time I won, the winning number "375".

Later, Mr. Tofuya said, "Isn't it" Snako "?", Oh! !! It became ^ ^

3 is Su from Three, "Sunako = 375". Really amazing!

"It's too amazing that I won the prize at Sunako and had the experience of a racing car at Sunako Juku", and it was exciting again (laughs).

It was a very exciting and fun BMW Motorsport Festival. I really appreciate, thank, and thank you for all the miracles.

next time,Sunako JukuI'm looking forward to participating in and looking back on this day ^^

Once again, Mr. Tofuya, thank you for running the FSW main course, which was my dream, at full throttle (and with the BMW M4 GT4!). It was cool ^^!

It was a great experience!
