Porsche "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" Experience: Part 5 (Day 1) Former Karuizawa Club-Takamine Kogen Hotel (Regular running) -Raiden Kurumi no Sato-Onioshidashien

On the first day of Porsche "The Rally -Amazing Moment-", we will aim for the checkpoint of "Takamine Kogen Hotel" after having lunch at "Kyu Karuizawa Club".

At the lunch venue, A to D, which are divided into four groups of entrants (participants), are sequentially replaced, so when we leave the lunch venue, there are still many 911s who will enter the venue. I did. What's nice is that there was communication with the entrants (even if it was Porsche), waving their hands when they passed each other.

Of course, when you are serious about driving (depending on the location, you may pass each other while running at a fairly high speed), of course, you can only feel "Oh, entrant" at the edge of your eyes ( (Laughs), I usually had some kind of smile, nod, and waving communication, which I liked again.

here! Actually, there are almost no pictures until I arrive at Raiden Kurumi no Sato. why…. Yes. There was an event activity in the "8.8km" section on the way to the next checkpoint, the Takamine Kogen Hotel, on the mountain road.

It is called "on-time running", and the fixed distance = 8.8 km this time is run at the private time set by Porsche, and the person who is closest to the private time wins (ranks are given) ,. Here is a frame diagram of the part of regular running ↓

When I participate in this, I think seriously, and if I don't capture the "private time" first, I can't attack! I thought, I started to consider by identifying the place and capturing the time. No, I wasn't really serious about it, I just enjoyed it while drinking, and if it wasn't this, I just did it ^^

so. This was the 8.8km that I identified as "here" before departure. Actually, it started a little earlier, but I wondered if it was almost the same.

The speed limit of this road is "60km" and it is a "mountain road" with "no traffic light".

The time when traveling a distance of 8.8 km at the full speed limit and an average speed of 60 km / h is "8:48". However, this is not at all realistic. It is impossible to drive on a mountain road at 60 km all the time, and Porsche said in advance that "It is a limit of 60 km, but it is dangerous to run at that speed", so Porsche sets such a fast time It can't be.

Then, the next thing to think about is the number multiplied by "911" or "70th anniversary". The next thing you can think of is "9:11". I think this was predicted by quite a few people. However. In order to set the time of 9:11, the average speed is 57.4 km / h. This is too fast. Judging that it is still too fast for the speed that companies set for play driving for the general public.

Then "19:11"? No, this is too late. When it comes to that, it's strange that there is a zero in a while, but it's "11:09" (← opposite of 911), or "13:56" to commemorate the first Porsche registration 356. "16:08" to commemorate June 8th.

Now, let's take a look at the map ↑ above again. Yes. The running time recommended by Google teacher is "15 minutes". In other words, it generally takes about 15 minutes for a normal person to pass through here ... When running 8.8km in 15 minutes, the speed is "35.2km".

When it comes to. In the end, the numbers that are close to that are narrowed down

11:09 ⇒ 47.3 km / h
13:56 ⇒ 37.8 km / h

Isn't it either? Porsche cannot set the speed to be "slower" than the speed given by Google teacher. Therefore, when that happens ... it's subtle. to worry! Hmmm, but after all, if you set the number 4 minutes faster than the number that Google teacher says (11:09), it may be unexpectedly dangerous, so after all this is only about 1 minute faster than Google teacher " 13:56 "is not appropriate.

So, I have no choice but to decide here, so it's a bit slow, but I decided to run for "13:56" this time! !!

Once you've decided, all you have to do is run that way. From the starting point, I managed to run "8.8km at 13:56" with the trip meter and stopwatch of the car! … But there is another problem here. What. When the distance of the car reached "8.8km", there was no goal yet.

"Yeah! I made it exactly at 13:56 at 8.8km! I don't have a goal!" Maybe the actual distance was about 10km? I think, but how about it?

Anyway, I didn't have a goal, so there was a gap at the end ... but. As a result, this was a "too late" time anyway (tears). The scheduled time announced after the event was "11:09" (crying)! !! Ah. I misread it! !! Judgment was wrong! !! That's right. People riding Porsche are serious and fast. If anything, I ran aiming for "9:11", but because it was a mountain road, it became "11:09", so it might have been better to think at a level like that.

That's why I broke the jade with a complete misreading. Well.

Anyway, before I left, I enjoyed drinking while drinking, "Isn't it like this?" "Isn't it?" And enjoyed running exactly at the set time, so it was fun, not the result. !! We never do this kind of thing by ourselves, so we enjoyed it as a "play"! But next time, I'm sure I'll think seriously again ^^

Check in at Takamine Kogen Hotel and get off the mountain road again. When I got off, I passed a lot of 911s who were climbing up, but everyone was quick! I was attacking with great momentum. As expected ... Since the descent is not related to regular driving anymore, my husband was out so much, so I can not afford to take pictures (laugh)! My car is fast, and the oncoming car is fast ...!

Finally, after finishing the mountain road, we will head to the next checkpoint, "Raiden Kurumi no Sato", a roadside station. On the way, when I saw Mr. 911 running in front of me, there was no bib. I ran behind while talking, "Oh, I happened to meet Mr. 911, who is not Mr. Entrant."

On the way, I met 911, who is not an entrant, actually quite a lot. Some of you may have come to see this event, and there are quite a few who are running completely differently. Even so, I feel like "every 911 is a friend!" During the rally, so I was happy to meet any 911.

and! This white Porsche ↑. I'm sorry, the white vertical line on the rear is the one that has been sunk from the glass ... This was another great coincidence, and it was the car of the person who commented after I posted the blog after I returned.MinkaraIt is a comment in)! !! Such a coincidence! !! And later, I was impressed again ^^. I'm glad I was able to join you even a little!

By the way, following this white 911, we arrived at "Roadside Station Raiden Kurumi no Sato". Many 911s have already arrived.

The people who came to the roadside station looked at it with great interest, so I think there were more galleries. Everyone, I was happy to wave the flag.

"Raiden" in Raiden Kurumi no Sato is the name of sumo wrestler.The station name was named "Raiden Kurumi no Sato" because it is the hometown of the famous wrestler "Raiden Tameemon" in the Edo period and the famous production area of "Shinano Kurumi".And that. Therefore, at the stamp at the checkpoint here, Sumo wrestlers picked up 911. pretty! ... I remembered hereIshiura-san's McLaren make-upIt was ^^.

Here are walnut sweets as souvenirs? I received. I took it home and the children ate it, so I don't know what's inside (laughs).

Well, here! It's a driving change ~. Since the highway from Tokyo and the mountain road are over, I drove to Onioshidashien from here. It feels good! !! I started without 911 around so much, so I could run without thinking "I have to catch up in front!" Or "It may be too late and annoying behind!", So it was very easy and fun to start driving for the first time. I was allowed to run.

By the way, just before arriving at Onioshidashien. It is the Onioshi Toll Gate. There is no ETC here, so only cash. I didn't have any cash in the car, so I parked in front of the tollhouse and took out my wallet, and the 911 ran all the way. Please put it behind the pace car and go through the Onioshi Toll Gate.

It was a miracle that I was able to put it behind the pace car here! Because, when I arrived at Onioshidashi-en, I went according to the frame diagram, but "there is no white Porsche flag". The pace car was also in trouble and stopped, so we stopped together. All the following cars also stopped (laughs).

The pace car contacted the person who runs the car and said, "It seems to be the xx parking lot!", So I followed it and arrived. If I went around to the back of the Onioshidashi Garden, I would have arrived, but at first glance I didn't know, so this was the point where I thought, "Where are you going?"

Oh yeah, it is the impression that I ran on the mountain road at the end. As a result, "I didn't get drunk at all"! I was in the passenger seat while looking at the stopwatch and the timetable, but I didn't get drunk at all. I used to take anti-toxidrome for the time being. I think the reason why I didn't get drunk was that the 911 itself wasn't fluffy at all and it ran firmly and tightly. I was impressed by running on the mountain road and once again saying, "It's a wonderful car!" It's really the best car.

There are many events at Onioshidashien! Continued next ~.
