2022 square training paid! Sunako Juku @ Fuji Speedway P2

Black Carrera for Christmas

I decided to spend Christmas with a black Carrera this year.

On Christmas Eve the day before, the whole family ate cake and other things, and spent the Christmas spirit together as a family. I messed up ^^

I play with my favorite black Carrera at Christmas!

On the morning of Christmas, when presents arrive from Santa Claus, the children wake up early, so when they see the presents that have arrived in the morning, they are having a great time. Ready, ready.

"Okay, let's go" and depart.

After a pleasant morning run, we arrived at the Fuji Speedway, where the pure white Mt. Fuji greeted us right in front of us.

This year's Christmas will be spent at Fuji Speedway (FSW) P2 ^ ^

Sunako Juku Limited program for vehicles equipped with a rear engine

Last time in September 2022,Participating in a rear-engined car-only program and thinking, "This is fun."So, this time, I will participate in Sunako Juku, which is limited to cars with rear engines.

The instructors for this program are Mr. Kochiya, the secretary general of Sunako Juku, and Mr. Mitsuhiro Kinoshita.

I really like the "how to handle Porsche" that Mr. Kinoshita talks about.

We had a very hot talk on this day as well.

The most asserted point this time is that it is difficult to bend a Porsche. If you just listen to it, you may think, ``Huh?

But that's just a story about running on a public road, and Mr. Kinoshita is talking about driving on a circuit, or when dealing with Porsche when the driving skill is higher.

To put it simply, it is important to "turn using the front load", and in order to learn it, you teach me various things. *Of course, PTX will also teach you how to bend using the front load, but I feel like you took more time to teach me this time.

He taught me about braking, accelerator work, etc. about how to bend Porsche with front load.

Porsche can bend in deeper dimensions

What is very impressive is that when it becomes possible to bend with this front load, "Porsche will realize that it can bend in a deeper dimension".

"Porsche can bend in a deeper dimension".

What a nice word! ! !

When you say so, don't you think "I want to know Porsche in a deeper dimension!" ^ ^? ? I think I still don't understand even if it's a shallow dimension (laughs).

He explained in a really easy-to-understand manner that this "turning corners" area is the great thing about Porsche. He also told me about the mechanism (brakes) that is designed to be safe even when turning corners at high speed, and I am deeply convinced.

Listening to various stories, I think that Porsche is a great car after all, and I want to feel a little bit of "Porsche's amazing area" that I explained, so I'm going to practice.

In the morning of this day, we were first divided into two groups, and the first group started practicing J-turns.

A J-turn is, as the name suggests, a course that looks like the letter "J" in the alphabet (too complicated explanation (laughs)).

This J-turn practice is not just about running in a J-shape, but based on Mr. Kinoshita's story earlier, we practice brake release from full braking and accelerator work from steering operation.

Just J, but J, I can't do it well at all (laughs).

Even so, there are moments when the front load suddenly turns, and I feel like "Ah, now!"

In my case, I still can't do it at all, so every time I think, "Is full braking from this distance?" Isn't it right?" I am confused every time (laughs).

But it was fun~^^

Another group is:

• large steady circle
• 2 small steady circles
• large oval

are prepared, so you can practice each of them. Of course, this group is not left alone to train on their own, but Mr. Kofuya is giving us instructions (Mr. Kinoshita is watching the J-turn).

two days before this day iI was just able to do my first drift lap at the Porsche Experience Center TokyoSo, I wanted to be able to do one lap of drifting normally in the steady circle practice of the day, but it was no good. Why?

According to Mr. Kofuya, "If you look at it, it's about half done." Well, this year's result is "I can do half a lap".

Even so, I made a fuss with Mr. Kofuya (because he is also an acquaintance of Mr. Sato), "Shunsuke Sato is a witness to the fact that I was able to complete one lap of drifting!"

I was very lucky to be at Sunako Juku that day.

After all, the number of participants!

Of course, from the Sunako Juku side, I think it was a bad thing (laughs), but from the participants' side, it's great that fewer people can run more.

Sunako Juku usually fills up pretty quickly, but on this day, probably because it was Christmas, there were surprisingly few people attending.

Are you sure there are 12 in the morning? Because it was only like that, I divided them into two groups, so there were only 6 cars in one group. I was able to run janjan.

In addition, in the afternoon, there were some people who went home with errands, so 9 cars in all? ? I've become something like that, so I'm already saying that Nanikore is the best (sorry (laughs)).

For me, it was the last and best Christmas of 2022, where I was able to run a lot with a small number of people ^ ^

The cars that participated that day were all rear-engined cars (mid-engine OK), but in the end, they were all Porsches. Of these, only one is Cayman and the rest are all 911s.

911 has two air-cooled cars and GT cars.

I had a lot of time to run in the morning, but when the end time came, I thought, "Ah, it's already over."

I still want to run.

However, since it was lunch time, I went to get a lunch box. Here for lunch. Is it the same as last time?

After lunch, Ms. Kofuya and Ms. Kinoshita once again explained the afternoon practice (course). During this explanation, we will tell you what to think, what to learn, and what to practice by running this course.

Hmmm, on the spot, I thought I understood it, but when I actually went out to the course, I was like, "Oh, that's not it!" training.

In the afternoon, we didn't divide into groups and practiced by running a course that used FSW's P2 as much as possible.

I immediately had Mr. Kofuya and Mr. Kinoshita drive and ride with me.

Even when I think I'm not good at it, they give me accurate advice, saying, "It's better to do this." very good.

Think more about how you feel about your car

Even so, when I ran the course, my driving was quite aggressive (to the car), and at the moment I finished running, Mr. Kinoshita

"I need to think more about how the car feels"

When.

Whaaaaaaaat. shock! ! I'm already exhausted. I couldn't help but say, "Mitsuhiro-san, that was the saddest thing you said!" (laughs).

I love black Carrera so much, and I want to understand it more, and I'm practicing like this because I want to understand it, but the opinion of the instructor who is looking at it objectively is, ``Think more about the feeling of the car. hand".

Haa. But that is true.

I can understand the moment when I force my car to do something. We have to understand each other so that the black Carrera can run more comfortably, but I feel like I'm forcibly driving with the feeling "I can do more!" .

Next year, I would like to run with a better understanding of the black Carrera, rather than relying more on brute force.

And someday I would like to be able to bend Porsche in a deeper dimension. Aim high!

I had reset the trip meter before starting the P2 run that day, but by the time it was over, the mileage was over 100km. very. I ran a lot. Even though it's only in the parking lot (laughs).

Even though I had filled up with gasoline at Gotemba, it was already running low.

The black Carrera that finished running is quite dirty again.

No, um, when you look closer, what's this really dirty?

No, it's dirty (laughs).

It was too dirty, so I washed the car a little at the end.

They prepared a high-pressure washer and said, "If you want to wash your car, go ahead," but I took out my bucket and washed my car by hand. If I could do it, I also wanted to shampoo and wash the wheels (seriously (laughs)).

I couldn't go that far, but it was really nice to be able to wash the car quickly within a limited time. I wonder if it's a little beautiful at the end of the year.

However, you can see that the sides are whitish even after washing ↓

In addition, the front of the front tire looks like this even after washing it by hand with a cloth.

Yes, these are the Aeon Deposits I made at the Tsukuba Circuit Gymkhana. I'm giving up on this because I can't help myself unless I polish it again.

but nowIf you go to REVOLT Utsunomiya-san, they'll give you a cheap price and bring it back to shiny ^^The sense of security gives me peace of mind. I want to make it shiny again next year.

I was happy to hear from several people who were looking at my blog that day.

one personTire care that I recommend without permission(I'm kind of happy ^^), and another person was very interested in me nowMy Porsche screenI was able to show you the real thing. thank you very much!

And the other one is also a two-shot of Porsche. Black and white Porsche is cute where the sunset in the back is beautiful ^ ^

It was the best Christmas that I could play with my beloved Black Carrera for a day from morning till night.

When I got home and turned off the engine, it was 19:11. Just at the time when "9: 11" is displayed, even if you see this, it's just a smile.

I learned a lot and enjoyed running again this time. By running like this at Sunako Juku, I will like Porsche more and more.

Mr. Kofuya, Mr. Kinoshita, all the staff, everyone who participated on this day, thank you very much ^ ^
