Porsche "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" Experience: Part 11 (Day 2) Porsche Rally Completion Ceremony and Gift Rally Stamp Introduction

"The Rally -Amazing Moment-" Finally Completion Ceremony

Porsche 911's "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" event held between Tokyo and Karuizawa from Saturday, June 2nd to Sunday, June 3rd, 2018 finally reached the goal, and after the goal, it is adjacent to the Palace Hotel. The rally completion ceremony was held at "Wadakura Fountain Park Restaurant" in the park.

The time to reach the goal was completely different for each entrant, so I wonder if the person who scored the first goal had to wait a long time. It was that kind of feeling. However, drinks and light meals were prepared in a comfortable room, so I think I was able to relax. ??

Entrant-sans (laughs) who became refugees in the parking lot like us also gathered one after another, and the venue was filled up at once.

Greetings from President Porsche Japan Toshiyuki Shimegi

First of all, there was a greeting from Porsche Japan President Toshiyuki Shimegi. What impressed me very much was that President Shichigosangi was probably the most impressed with this rally because of the "wonderfulness of management."

This is because greetings in such places are likely to be centered on messages to "customers," but President Shichigosanki's speech seems to be centered on the message to the management side that "the operation was wonderful." Because I feel like it.

If I really talk about it here, I think that it must have been possible to say that this rally was successful and successful, even if I was in a position to speak. In this place where I was impressed with the feeling that the rally was over, I think that the only thing that came out honestly was the wonderfulness of the management, no, the wonderfulness of the staff involved in the management.

UU. I'm writing, remembering and crying (tears). No, I still remember the smiles of the staff. The smile made the entrants smile ... and there were my favorite Porsche 911s ... all of which made everyone who was there happy.

It may sound exaggerated, but the more days after the rally, the more dreamy the dream was, the more united this "operation + entrant + 911" was, really, really, the best.

… Ah, once I start writing emotions, it doesn't stop, so I'll move on to the next ^^

Porsche The Rally Award Ceremony

Furthermore, at the completion ceremony, various awards are prepared, and various awards such as "the person who applied for the rally event first" and "the person who participated from the farthest place" are given.

Furthermore, it seems that the rally actually had a ranking, and those who ranked 1st to 3rd in that ranking and those who were ranked 5th after that were commended.

By the way, most of the products of each award were hats and tumblers, but the top prize winners came out in various ways such as tool kits, and the product for the rally winner was ... "Porsche 911 GT3 exhaust type speaker". It's completely enthusiastic, but it's nice ~ I wanted this a little ^^. I want to decorate it!

At a later date, everyone's standings were also sent. At this rally, the only thing I thought about and the questions around me was how to rank them.

In the first place, if I didn't know that I could get a ranking, I didn't know what I should do to improve my ranking, so even those who won the top prizes felt like, "Why don't you know why you are in the top?" was.

After all, it seems that points were added in order of good results at the activity event in the middle, and the ranking was decided by the total value, but this does not mean that the activity will be good just because I heard it. But ^^), I wanted you to tell me how to evaluate in advance, and if you did not participate in the activity, it is absolutely impossible to win the top prize, so I thought it was a pity. .. This was the only thing I was interested in in this rally (not complaints or complaints !!)!

There is a saxophone player, Shu Asaoka, at the venue, who acts as a DJ for the music in the venue, and also plays the saxophone to the songs he plays as a DJ. I heard it. It was cool! It was a nice saxophone with depth, even though it seemed to be played with a very light feeling.

Will the children get somewhere at a later date? This Mr. Asaoka was listed as a "guest"! "Oh! The saxophone at that time!", I was a little happy.

Finally here. Everyone in the shooting team for this event. He did his best to take various pictures. Hmmm, shooting with this roller blade was cool ^ ^

And since the two men of this shooting also came to shoot at other Porsche events, at the Porsche event (in the case of sponsored by EBI Marketing), it may be that the shooting is basically outsourced to these people. ... I don't need to write about such outsourcing status (laughs). I'm really curious, so I'm sorry ...

The graduation ceremony / after party of The Rally -Amazing Moment- ended successfully. After this, the management people carried each entrant car from the nearby parking lot to the Palace Hotel.

In front of the Palace Hotel, I got in my car and said goodbye to the real people there. The real rally event is over. I feel happy and lonely.

Thank you to all Porsche staff!

Until the very end, the operators sent out each and every one of them really hard. Starting from the early morning one day ago, everyone who is feeling really hard under the scorching sun and who will have exhausted their physical strength, but I will not be distracted until the very end, and this is the response.

I was only grateful to see everyone sending out other people from behind. Everyone is really nice people. Porsche in Japan, I'm happy to have such wonderful people treat me with love. Ah, the more I talk about it, the more my suspicious Porsche and my love for Porsche will come out ... Even with this, I will do my best to write with restraint ^ ^

No, I think that the entrants who participated had the same feeling that they really wanted to say "Thank you" to the operators many times. Thank you very much for your wonderful time.

Porsche The Rally's original 911 stamps

At this rally event, I was given this stamp ledger first, and stamped it here for each checkpoint. * The color is a little darker, but it is darker brown.

The stamps of each place are like this when summarized, and 911 is drawn as a feature of each checkpoint. Everything is cute! !! 911 is not only cool but also "cute", so if you use a stamp like this, it will double the cuteness again.

Souvenirs from Porsche The Rally

Lastly, I would like to introduce the souvenirs I received at this rally event. I received a lot of information in various places such as morning and dinner venues, hotel rooms, graduation ceremonies, etc., but for the time being, I will introduce only the products at once.

Two knapsack colors with Porsche's The Rally 2018 Special 911 Touring logo. Black and gray. This isUseful for Porsche cooking at a later dateWhat is ... (laughs).

FEILER mini towels and Jaeger-LeCoultre catalog, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay P2 speakers. Personally, I don't use Feiler very much (sorry), but if this is a "Porsche pattern", I will definitely use it!

I thought about it and opened it, but for some reason I could understand the "golf pattern" (not car golf, but sports golf ... (laughs)). Huh. At the very least, even if you give 100 steps, it should be a "car pattern". Naze Golf ... Feiler ... ^^

This polo shirt with the Rally logo. The Porsche Driver's selection's decent polo shirt had the The Rally logo in the shape of an emblem and was attached to the arm. Two of them for two participants. * By the way, the size of the polo shirt is specified by myself at the time of application.

This polo shirt was given at the hotel on the first day, so many people came and participated on the second day!

The first issue of the classic Porsche magazine, the catalog of TUMI, Cole Haan, ic! Berlin (?), And a magnificent box with the Rally logo from Ail.Brand!

These items are in the box from Ail.Brand. It seems to be aisle water (sterilization deodorant mist), aisle wash (cleaner for leather), etc. I haven't used it yet, but I'd love to use it next time I clean the interior of 911!

And two big mugs.

Do you know the size? When I hold it in my hand, it feels like this size ↓. It is a huge size that is not sold much in Japan.

Even when I usually make coffee at home, all the mugs sold in Japan are too small and not enough.24 oz cup of Tervis Cup(24 ounces = about 709 ml (laughs)).

Tervis is a heavy user who has bought it again and again because it is fun to choose various patterns ... but I am very happy that this Porsche mug size seems to be quite usable! * When I measured it, it contained 500 ml. It feels good.

Since it is a 70th anniversary mug, there is also a logo on the bottom.

Finally, we received a printed group photo taken by Oni Extrude and our own result table of the activities we participated in. It will be a good memorial.

In addition to this, I received some sweets for each checkpoint, but I will omit them here because they are posted on the blog of each checkpoint.

Porsche Rally Ross (laughs)

In this way, it was "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" that ended safely and very happily. This event, which ended like a dream in a really dreamy time, later I thought about setting a navigation system in Tokyo, and when I tried to set a destination from the Porsche Connect app ... It was displayed on the car screen The list is this street.

When I saw this list popped up, I remembered in the car again, "Oh, it was a dreamy time," and I was sentimental (sad that I wasn't there anymore). Really, it was a kind of "rally loss" (laughs). However, I think that there were definitely other entrants who felt the same way with this "Larry Loss", and I think that there were also people who managed it! !! Isn't that the case ... ^^?

Two roses I got when I reached the goal. I also carefully decorated this. At the end, it seemed that it would be useless before it bloomed (I wonder if Mr. Rose was weakened a lot while waiting for the goal ...), so at the end I floated the petals and enjoyed it until the very end. ← When the roses die at the end, I feel like I'm completely "finished" with it, and I'm completely in a rally loss state.

Porsche The Rally was an Amazing Moment

Last but not least, thank you for a really nice time. The official name of this Porsche 911 rally event was "The Rally -Amazing Moment-", but who was given this title?

Now that this rally event is over, the participants and the management side can think from the bottom of their heart that "it was a really wonderful time = Amazing Moment", and the word "amazing moment" really expresses everything in this rally event. I feel like I'm there.

I think it's really amazing that it was named as a name before the event started. No, let's name it Amazing Moment and make it Amazing Moment! It may have been Amazing Momemt because everyone worked together as one.

Porsche, everyone involved in the operation, staff of other facilities, sponsors, entrants who had a good time together, and my favorite Porsche 911. thank you very much! !!

By participating in this rally, I felt the wonderfulness of Porsche 911 even more, it became even more fun to drive, and I loved 911 even more!

The rally event blog also ends here. Thank you for staying with us for a long time.
