Porsche Sportscar Together Day 2019: Porsche Esports Racing & PCM Course

Posted: June 23, 2019 Updated:

Porsche Esports Racing Japan Season 1

Of the races held at this Porsche Sports Day Together Day 2019, only one did not use this course of Fuji Speedway. The venue is Fuji Speedway (FSW)!

Yes, there is a Porsche race that does not run the FSW course even though it is in that FSW ... This time, "Porsche E Sports Racing Japan Season 1" has reached its 1st season.

In other words ... Simply put, it's a "game." Virtual racing.

It is a Porsche race using the race game "Gran Turismo Sport" for PlayStation 4, and it is a well-established car race that Porsche officially positions as "race" called "Esports Racing" that Porsche is beginning to focus on.

This time, the FSW will be held in the semi-final and final tournament (including the repechage).

It seems that tens of thousands of people from all over the country participated in the qualifying until they won the finals. Tens of thousands! very.

Certainly, it is quite difficult to easily participate in a car race using an actual car, saying "Let's try it for the time being", but when it comes to a game race, "If you have a Sony PlayStation, you may be able to do it. Obviously, the height of the hurdle to participate in the race is different because you can easily participate.

Perhaps there was someone who thought, "Oh, I'm a little good at Gran Turismo, so maybe I should try participating in the qualifying." I wonder if that is the case ^^?

But.

But, but, but.

but! !! !!

When I saw this final tournament in front of me, I was so afraid that I thought, "No, I should try to participate in the race lightly just because it's a game." I feel like apologizing (laughs).

No, anyway, it was amazing!

Even I, who is just looking from behind as a spectator, runs at such a speed that it is difficult to follow with my eyes, but from that running line, how to pull out, everything, everything is at a very high level.

It was a moving level race, saying "It's really amazing !!!", which is completely unsatisfactory with the expression "You're good at it".

Everyone was wearing headphones during the game race.

This is because live broadcasts will be broadcast at the venue so that they can be heard and focused. So that's it.

Certainly, in the case of a real car race, the driver may not hear the voice of the live broadcast of the race, but in the case of the game, the live broadcast in front of you, the voice of the surrounding audience, etc. Because you can hear everything, the environmental things during the race are also completely different from the driver of the actual car.

No, of course, even if it looks like the same race on the screen, in reality, everything is different between the actual car and the game ^ ^

For the actual car and the racer of the game, even if you "run the car", the "ability you are using = the ability you are good at" is probably a completely different place. But I think each one is amazing!

It was also an event of Porsche Sportscar Together Day 2019 on that day, so when I was having lunch at the FSW lounge leisurely, the player who participated in this final was sitting next to me. It was people.

I thought, "Oh, everyone at Esports," but I'm sorry to bother you while you're eating with the players, so I refrained from speaking out. Nowadays, I regret that I should have asked how I could run so amazingly ^^

No, I'm sorry if I wrote it like this, but I wonder if someone who can run like this at the top of a car game is more "nerdy" or something like that. I had a little thought (I'm sorry! I'm sorry, it's a complete prejudice).

However, the people who participated in the final together at lunch (= the winners in the end) really didn't feel that kind of nerd at all, and they were good young people! With that feeling, they were wonderful people with very smiles ^^

No, I can't race anything anymore, but I feel like I'm more nerdy (laughs). introspection.

Winners invited to Night of Champions Japan 2019

Well the result is:

1st place: T. Sugawara
2nd place: T.Okamoto
3rd place: S.Imamura

Imamura in 3rd place seems to be 3rd place from the repechage, which is also amazing.

These three people have the right to be invited to the awards at "Night of Champions Japan 2019".

This is a place where racers who have won the actual race will be commended, and from now on, the winners of Esports Racing will be commended as well.

Why are you at the Esports Racing venue? There was also an exhibition of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, but the appearance of the GT3 RS staring at the game screen was also very cute.

"What are you doing ~. The FSW course is right in front of you, but everyone doesn't run ~" ^^? Really, Porsche is cute.

Porsche Connect: Porsche Communication Management (PCM) Course

By the way, after watching Esports, before I finally went home, I went around to see various stores / exhibits in the parking lot space on that day.

  • Porsche Center Aoyama (Setagaya)
  • Porsche Center Yokohama Aoba
  • Porsche Center Nagoya
  • Porsche Center Sakai

The classic Porsche booth jointly exhibited by the four dealers ...

PUMA's Motorsport store. Sale such as Porsche Design collection.

Oh, there was Michelin Man who was on the grid walk a while ago. Michelin Man here seems to be more soulless than the person who was walking on the grid walk a while ago, but it's because of his mind ^ ^

And the last thing we visited on this day was the booth where these Porsche cushions were piled up.

That is the booth for learning Porsche Connect.

It's a big deal, so I decided to ask. Demonstration presentation using the actual Cayenne car.

The function that he taught me during the demonstration on this day was that he could lock and unlock the car remotely.

If you have a PCM app, you can lock the car remotely because a lock button will appear when you launch it, so I also listened to it and had it at hand. Launch the app on your smartphone.

The demo went on, and next to my sister and brother saying, "Oh, that's true! I was able to lock it via the app!", I sank, "Oh, no key mark ...".

Hmmm. Yes, it seems that remote lock operation is only for Cayenne (as of June 2019). disappointing.

Then, a demonstration of playing music on Amazon Music. I wanted to try this once, so I'm glad I could actually see it.

By the way, at this time, the song played in the demo was Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody ^^

Porsche Concierge Service

Finally, a demo of "Porsche Concierge Service" connected by Porsche Connect.

It seemed convenient, but I'm not good at using the concierge service (I don't use the services such as credit cards at all), so I don't think I'll use it yet. But I'm sorry.

For those who applied for Porsche Concierge service on this day, it seems that one of the benefits was the Porsche cushion that I put up earlier ^ ^

Try connecting from Porsche to Amazon Music

After hearing the explanation of this PCM, I arrived on my way home, so I tried to connect to Amazon Music, which I hadn't been able to do until now, thinking "Let's try it, let's try it". Via android smartphone.

Oh ~. I'm kind of impressed when I'm connected ^^

But ... I wasn't used to using Amazon Music itself, so I just got tired of thinking about what to use and how to use it (Auntie ...).

There were many playlists preset by Amazon as popular playlists, but for me who didn't listen to Japanese music, I couldn't meet them right away, so I could connect to Amazon Music. This is likely to be the first and last ^^

However, I'm glad that I was able to do something that I couldn't quite do while thinking about trying it.

Lastly, I was able to hear what I personally wanted to hear about PCM, which was very helpful.

… And then the content about Porsche Sportscar Together Day 2019 is over. picture? Is there still? Oh, there is. As usual, I'm sorry for being lazy! Then, it will continue again ~.
