Ferrari Racing Days 2018: Part 4 Family Drive (Family Driving)

Held at Fuji Speedway for 2 days from June 30th (Sat) to July 1st (Sun), 2018Ferrari Racing Days 2018I participated in the first day of the race, but there are two types of circuit driving that I applied for on that day.

One is a family drive and the other is a circuit drive.

"Family drive" is a so-called circuit where you can drive a passenger in your own car. It's not the purpose of speeding up or competing for speed, but the experience driving that I wish I could drive the circuit with my own car purely fun.

While looking sideways at the wonderful Ferraris who are parked in the parking lot again, first of all, in order to receive a briefing that is "required to participate" in order to participate in the family drive, the briefing at the back of the second floor Head to the room.

When you enter the entrance, you will first have to sign a form with disclaimers etc. (signs of all passengers are required). When that is completed, it will be confirmed that the time and name of the running frame are correct, and if it is OK, you can enter the briefing room.

The briefing room looks like this.

Family Drive has only a simple rule that you should not overspeed or overtake the car in front of you (assuming common sense rules about other driving, of course) and not yet. School children were not allowed, but elementary school students and above were able to ride with them.

This time, I didn't bring any children to my house, but it seems that some people were running with their children on board, and it's amazing to be able to experience running on the Fuji Speedway circuit at Ferrari from the time I was in elementary school. I thought ^^

In this family run this time, I will also be in the passenger seat, so I decided to take a picture with my hand without installing the GoPro in the window.

Also, here is a sticker that you can get after signing the disclaimer at the entrance and getting confirmation.

"1st" means that it is a vehicle that will participate in the first running frame of the family drive of the day.

Attach this from the outside to the windshield sticker where the parking lot pass is affixed.

When Ferraris line up before starting the circuit, the Ferrari operator will see this sticker to see if the person in the right time frame is in the right place.

The briefing was completed successfully, and the stickers were properly attached, so it was time to head to the entrance of the circuit. You will be guided to "Please come here" and stop in line at the designated position.

When. The moment you park your car at the designated position! 4 mechas? Surrounds the cars all at once, and it's a mess! !! And started something.

↓ It looks like this.

Yeah yeah! very! Yes, how. this. It tightens all the tires with a torque wrench, like before a race.

Really, the moment the car stopped after being guided, the car was surrounded and it was a mess! He tightens it with great momentum, so for me as an amateur, I was surprised at the momentum of "Well, maybe I've made a pit stop (pit stop) now?" I did (laughs).

It was too early work, so when I got out of the car and talked to the manager after finishing, I asked "Please pretend to be a little tighter and let me take a picture" and took a commemorative photo I will let you.

"Eh! Is it okay to pretend ?! I need a face (laughs) ??" Haha, thank you ~. It was fun ^^

After that, there is a little time before the car departs and is called to start driving, so I will go out of the car and relax.

When I glanced around, La Ferrari and others were next to me!

Among them, La Ferrari and others came out in front of our car, but it is an impossible miracle that their cars are stopped side by side behind these two La Ferraris.

It is the greatness of Ferrari Racing Days that such a miracle that can not be done in everyday life occurs normally!

Well, and. When I came back to my car, looking around, the following mecha people were gathering looking at the rear of our car.

↓ Can you see that the finger is being pointed at the lower right? I wondered if it was a serious defect, and I was worried and asked, "Ah ... what happened?"

"Oh no! This,There is an alphabet in the number!! saw it for the first time! !! "

And that.

I see. I'm glad it wasn't a problem ^^ And even among the people who work in cars such as Ferrari, license plates with alphabets are still rare. that isParking lot should not be supportedThat's right.

While doing so, it's time to start. I will go to the management people and wave my hand to enter the circuit.

Oh oh. This is too nostalgic! !! After all, I think that the last time I ran on the FSW circuit before was when I ran on BMW at the time of the BMW event. Was it 550i at that time?

But this is my first time on the Ferrari circuit.

No matter how fast the family driving is, it was a moving experience for me to be able to drive on the circuit with Ferrari. The sound is also good!

I was able to enjoy driving very comfortably and comfortably. I think it was good for my husband to be able to run the circuit once before the next sports run.

There are many Ferraris behind.

I think everyone enjoyed the drive as they pleased.

I was really happy to have the opportunity to run the Fuji Speedway circuit on our Ferrari, which was a very valuable experience.

I will come back for the time being, and return to the lounge while looking sideways at the Ferraris in the parking lot.

Oh. Are these two white Ferraris very similar? ?? Like twins ^^ The only difference is whether the rear part is white or black? ??

As sports drives and family drives come in occasionally during the schedule, the vehicles participating in them move, so the parking positions of Ferraris in the parking lot also change from time to time.

So, the parking situation of Ferraris who are parked every time I walk often changes, so the atmosphere looks a little different every time I walk, which was also fun.

Before going to the lounge, I also took a peek at the shops on the first floor.

I feel that there were quite a few items on sale here (Ferrari car models cost 200 yen ... Of course, the car models are limited, but it's cheap for those who want it).

However, I'm not very good at flashy things, so I couldn't afford Ferrari goods, which are often based on bright red.

As for minicars, Cali T already has a minicar with his own specifications, so I don't have much desire for it anymore.

The 1/18 model Cali T, who can be bought at a toy store, has already been bought by the children, so I'm satisfied for the time being.

↓ At this shop, there was also a 1/8 model car that was made with drawings supplied by Ferrari, which was insanely authentic, and the price was over 1.5 million. Hey! You can buy a car that you can really drive!

In addition, Poltrona Frau has opened a store. Poltrona Frau actually liked the sofa here so much that Otsuka Kagu had made a reservation with a deposit.

However, because it was quite expensive in total, I was worried, and just before that, the children were still preschoolers and small, so there is a risk that Poltrona will be put (dirty). If is too big, I'm worried and cancel.

Because of that, Poltrona Frau is still longing for me.

There is also an exhibition of JBL by HARMAN.

I still don't know enough about this, but if I can buy it, I've been to Yodobashi many times saying that I want B & W's 803D3.

… But (there is 804 in Yodobashi), but I still haven't touched it. But that's why? It was attached to McLaren,I was run over by a B & W diamond tweeterThere is also a background.

What was the story (laughs)? Anyway, there were a lot of longing goods ^^

Next is sports drive.
