Participating vehicle is Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Club Sport
Finally (?) Officially announced ^ ^
While the participation of other teams was announced more and more, there was no announcement from the EBI Waimarama team, so I thought "Isn't it going to participate this time?", But on February 23, 2022 In the final entry list announced on the official website of the Super Taikyu series, the EBI Waimarama-like team is registered in car 22 after all.
At that time, the team name was not mentioned yet, but if it is the same #22 as last year and the team structure with KIZUNA as the first driver is the same ..., this is only EBI Waimarama. !! But why hasn't it been announced yet, and even in the official test that was also held on February 23? I was wondering.
I don't know why the announcement was made now, but first of all, I was surprised that the vehicle that will participate in the race is the new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Club Sport!
It's amazing. I'm in time! !! (Surprising (laughs)?).
The EBI Waimarama team is good at preparing a car at the last minute (?) Last year, I was able to show such wonderful teamwork firmly, so I'm sure I will prepare a wonderful Cayman GT4 RS CS this time as well. I think it will be done.
I want to see it soon! !!
It looks really cool, and it looks much faster than last year ^^! !! !! I have high expectations and would like to support you.
What was announced here (news release) ↓
The content is that "Porsche TeamEBI WAIMARAMA" will fully participate in the ST-Z class in the Super Taikyu series 2022 Powered by Hankook, and the machine is Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Club Sport as mentioned above.
The driver is:
- A driver: KIZUNA
- B driver: Katsumasa Chiyo
- C driver: Naoya Yamano
- D driver: Riki Ohgusa
It seems that someone will be able to come in with help again during the 24 hours of FSW, which is also fun.
The first day of the Super Taikyu official test is "KIZUNA" day
This time, the official test date for Super Taikyu was February 23, 2022, so I thought this was "how auspicious" for Team EBI Waimarama.
I was really looking forward to the first driver, Team EBI Waimarama, running on this wonderful day, February 23rd.
Do you know why?
This is a pretty geek who understands ...? (Eh? Me?).
It will be 2008, but February 23 is"Kizuna", an ultra-high-speed Internet satelliteIt was the day when was launched! !! The satellite "Kizuna" is said to have been used even in the Great East Japan Earthquake because it communicates from space and is resistant to disasters.
Is not it amazing?
In a sense, the official test date for Super Taikyu, which is the 22nd car of the "KIZUNA", was February 23, when "Kizuna" was launched.
Fufufu ... That's why I wanted you to run on this day! !! !!
No, yeah, but I'm not running, but this kind of coincidence is unlikely, and I'm sure you can expect this! Anyway, I would like to support you again this year as well as last year.
Team EBI WAIMARAMA, please do your best ~ ^^

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
