Porsche 911 RSR comes to Fuji Speedway ~

2022 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) Round 5 Fuji 6 hours endurance race

The 6-hour endurance race of the FIA World Endurance Championship will be held at Fuji Speedway on September 9th (Fri), 10th (Sat) and 11th (Sun), 2022.

Here comes the Porsche 911 RSR!

Wow, I want to see the actual car running. However, I have a lot of work to do this weekend from the 9th to the 11th, so unfortunately I won't be able to go there.

This race @FSW will be held for the first time in two years (2020 and 2021 will be canceled due to the influence of Corona), and it seems that the people who will be competing from overseas are excited about the race in Japan for the first time in a while. Right ^^

The Porsche team competing this time about FSW:

• Very long straights require air resistance to be as low as possible to achieve high speeds
• At the same time, there are a lot of semi-high-speed corners, so a lot of downforce is needed.
• In other words, you have to find a compromise between these two to set up your car.
• This year's race will be held one month earlier than usual, and it's still the end of summer in Japan, so the temperature is expected to be quite high, which will affect the tires.
• Furthermore, FSW's asphalt is quite difficult (Is that so?)

etc., were raised as concerns.

After that, Porsche is also introduced about the "Circuit Safari" at FSW's WEC round, and when each team runs at least one vehicle on the circuit at almost the pace of the race, the bus carrying the fans is also at the same time. It seems that running is regarded as a very impressive event ^ ^

It's a shame that I didn't have the chance to see so many Porsche 911 RSRs running in front of me.

After all, the accidental miracle that the final will be held on September 11th, the day of "911", will only win the Porsche 911 RSR! I'm thinking.

Takeshi Kimura, who suddenly had to run, must be having a hard time, but I would like to support him ^ ^
