Ferrari Event CCES 2: Oval & Slalom Driving Lesson

"Cornes Circuit Experience'Secondo'" (CCES)

Ferrari event sponsored by Cornes held at Fuji Speedway on October 28, 2018 ``Cornes Circuit Experience'Secondo'(CCES) morning program "Wet Road / Oval Lesson" and "Slalom Lesson".

Slalom driving lesson at Fuji Speedway P15

On the day, the participating drivers were divided into average class (general) and experienced (experienced) groups, each of which divided the oval training and slalom training into two in the morning, taking turns in the first half and the second half. I did it.

By the way, the number of participants is 20 average and 20 experienced.

The group we participated in started with the "Slalom Lesson" held at FSW P15.

We were led by the people of Cornes using a walkie-talkie, and we all ran side by side to arrive at P15.

Align in a fixed position. After that, everyone gathered at the place of the tent ↓ set up here and explained the lesson contents and tips to be held from now on.

Slalom runs on the road where the cone is placed in a zigzag manner so as to avoid the cone on the right and left, and runs while avoiding the cone with "・" as shown in the picture below. Repeatedly coming back again.

Cornes Circuit Experience How to spend a companion

By the way, the companion waits leisurely around this tent while observing the lesson situation. A lot of drinks such as coffee and San Pellegrino, snacks to pick up easily, chocolate sweets, etc. were prepared, so you can see them while having them.

The weather was not too hot and not too cold, so it was very comfortable for those who were watching. I talked with the wife who came to the tour with me even though my husband participated like me, and I had a good time to visit ^ ^

The drivers will return to the car and line up again with instructions.

It's such a spacious place ↓ We will create a place where you can have two slalom lessons in this parking lot, and the lessons will be divided into two groups.

This is a slalom lesson place that is made further in the back ↓ On the way, the front and back places were alternated for lessons.

Even so, what I was looking at was that "Ferrari really becomes a picture." Just looking at the cars lined up, all the cars are really cool ...

And again, the appearance of such cool cars lined up as the teacher told me and waiting in line is called Gap Moe (laughs), it's so cute, this Ferrari is waiting in line. I really like seeing it.

Change places with a group far away and practice slalom in the same way.

No, why is Ferrari so picturesque? Really beautiful! It's beautiful even if it's stopped, but it's really too nice when it's running ...

I will post some of the photos I took.

Time trial at the end of driving practice

After the practice run is over, we will gather once and run one by one this time. yes! At the end, each person's slalom running time trial is on the way.

Both slalom and oval will take time at the end, so the attitude is "let's practice seriously" toward that. The results of the time trial will be finally aggregated and the ranking will be announced. It makes me nervous!

In the slalom time trial, two slalom parts, which had been divided into two places so far, were attached and measured through the two slalom places. Moreover, there were two cones at the final goal point, and the time measurement would not stop unless the car was stopped exactly between the cones.

In other words, if you fully accelerate toward the final goal and pierce through, unless you return to the center of the cone and stop, the time measurement will continue all the time, so you can not shorten the time with forcible acceleration at the end. That's why.

I managed to finish the time trial for everyone, and moved to the parking lot (P7), which is the venue for the next oval lesson ... but before that, I had some time to rest, so I took a restroom break. There is a little distance from P15 to the toilet, so the Prius was put out as a restroom shuttle car (laughs).

Wet road oval driving lesson at Fuji Speedway P7

Now, I moved the place to FSW P7, and this time I sprinkled water with a sprinkler and practiced oval driving with the road surface wet.

Exactly here, last time,Where I did the same thing at Sunako Juku(Laughs) The sprinkler is also familiar here! The capacity of 4,000 liters of solar construction equipment rental ... I'm worried about the capacity of water that can be carried, and when I meet many times, I get familiar with the sprinkler ...

On the way back from FSW, I found this branch of Taiyo Construction Machinery Rental, and while driving, I was impressed with "Oh! That usual sprinkler!" ... People are maniac like this. Will we step into the world ... (laughs).

Now, here too, we will first gather in the tent and explain. Again, the sight of Ferraris lined up is a masterpiece! It was too cool.

It runs on a wet road surface like an oval. How to enter the corner from the out, reach the in, and go out again, the bending power, the accelerating point, the braking point, how the braking grip power of the tire can be used up greatly ... It's like a lesson that you actually run and experience.

I feel that the 458, 488, and California T were the most popular models in the group we were participating in this time. I heard everyone running this time, and the sound of every car was the best, but I think I liked the sound of 458 the most. It was a very good sound.

Everyone, act side by side according to the teacher's instructions. It's cute (laughs). In practice, each person runs around the oval for about one minute to one and a half minutes, and when the time comes, the transceiver gives instructions, so he goes out of the oval.

After practicing running around the two ovals made in the parking lot in two groups, there was an explanation of the time trial again at the end, and each time trial was done at once.

In the time trial, the time to get out of the oval is measured by going around the oval "3 laps". There are two cones just outside the oval, and even here, if you don't stop properly between the cones, the time won't stop.

By the way, as with the slalom I mentioned earlier, if you hit a cone during a time trial, you will receive 3 seconds of time for each hit cone (laughs).

Well, the long, quick morning program is over, and everyone will line up again, line up and return to the paddock with instructions.

Surrounded by a lot of Ferraris, seeing and listening to Ferraris running with a lot of good sounds, in the atmosphere that makes me feel like a circuit, I feel really happy and indescribable. I did. I wonder, this feeling of happiness.

It's not limited to this Ferrari event, but I never imagined that there would be a day when I could experience such happiness through a car.

And every time I feel this happiness, I thank Mr. Porsche after all. myMy favorite car, the black 911 CarreraBut for me, it was the first step towards this fun world.

Next, I will continue to the article about the afternoon program, Fuji Speedway main course circuit driving ^ ^
