Porsche Japan Junior Drivers Riki Ohgusa and Ryunosuke Sawa

It was a fun time

The other day, in May 2021Super Taikyu @FSWI was invited by a person I met in Japan, and I will participate in a place where I will talk with Porsche owners, Porsche related people, and Porsche Japan Junior Driver 2021 Riki Ogusa and Ryunosuke Sawa. I did.

Before the two drivers came, I had a lot of fun talking with the Porsche owners first ^ ^

It is one of the happiness that I can feel by having Porsche in my life that many wonderful relationships will spread again just because I like Porsche.

A car is a "running vehicle", but Porsche not only has excellent driving performance, but also makes it a part of my life, so that my life is enriched so much. Besides, it is a very important existence for me who makes me more enjoyable and happier.

Ah, in the flow of this story, it seems that Porsche love will be talked about as it is and it will exceed 10,000 characters, so I will move on (laugh).

After that, I talked with Riki Ohgusa and Ryunosuke Sawa, and it was a lot of fun.

First of all, it's easy, but from the introduction of the two.

The two are those who were selected by Porsche Japan as "Porsche Japan Junior Drivers" of the Porsche Scholarship Program in the 2021 season.

Two family members

The first thing that surprised me when I talked about this time was that they are very close friends. The friendship is not at the level of friends, but rather almost "family". The relationship between these two people was very nice.

Since both of them had been carting since they were children, they hadn't met since that time, and even though Riki is older than Ryunosuke, it's a family that seems to forget that. Conversation like ^^

I was wondering if it was a slightly tense relationship like "senior and junior as a junior driver", so I was surprised because I was too family (laughs).

Now that these two people have grown up in this way, it is really wonderful that they are selected as Porsche Japan Junior Drivers together and are working hard together.

And in the future, when two people like a family will be able to participate in the same race someday, they will become rivals on the spot, which will also be a good stimulus for each other ^ ^

I heard a lot of stories on this day, and I strongly thought, "I want more motor sports to be enjoyed by more people."

I also want to support the racing drivers who I got to know in this way, and I hope that more and more people will know and support me.

Writing in this way, it may seem that Porsche and race discussions were all serious on this day, but that is not the case (laughs). Anyway, it was a very fun time!

We are looking forward to the future activities of the two of you!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to those who invited us this time. Also, it was a lot of fun to be able to talk with everyone I met on this day.

Thank you ^^
