Porsche "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" Experience: Part 7 (Day 1) Porsche Group Photo Shoot-The goal of the first day at the Karuizawa Marriott Hotel!

The long first day of Porsche's "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" is finally coming to an end. After finishing the Gymkhana event (... to put it properly, all the gymkhana runs weren't finished yet, but they were temporarily withdrawn), where the entrants & 911s all gathered for a group photo shoot. It's the beginning!

This isOfficial The Rally FacebookIt is a photograph that was published in. Since it is posted on the official site as it is without mosaic, I will reprint it as it is.

Until this photo was taken, it was first necessary to "arrange neatly" the 911s that were parked in various directions and parked with disjointed gaps. I think it was difficult for the people who run it. The owners went to see Gymkhana, strolled around there, and so on, so they weren't always near the car ...

Until the very end, one entrant did not return to the car, and in fact it was in such a situation until the last minute ↓. do you understand? Only one is on the opposite side and is stopped. However, when I talked about this, "It seems that there is a conductor in the orchestra," and when I was told, it seemed like that, and it was quite a favorite sight for me ^^

The group photo is taken by a professional photographer from the top of the overpass. By the way, an admission fee was required to enter this viaduct (because the entrance to the Onioshidashi Garden is before entering the viaduct). The owners also wanted to see the view from the top of this viaduct, so I went to the entrance to this viaduct, but no one was willing to pay the entrance fee (laughs), and I desperately took the picture below from the edge of the viaduct. I was taking a picture.

Then, the staff of Onioshidashien said, "Maybe you are a participant? If so, please come in!" And all the owners said, "Thank you!" And free admission.

Everyone has a fairly expensive Porsche, so I thought that I would pay quickly without worrying about this, but no one can enter the overpass until I pay the entrance fee. However, I felt a sense of intimacy again. Hahaha. Of course, I was the one who was shooting from the edge of the overpass until I was told "please" ^^

The staff of Onioshidashien also said, "No, this is the first time I've done an event like this with Onioshidashi !!", so I was very happy.

By the way, the entrants who were on the overpass are also below for the movement of the car and the group photo. After that, the cameraman took a picture from the elevated. I enjoyed shooting in a very peaceful atmosphere.

Furthermore, at the time of shooting, after all! This is the time! Also flew ~.

Drone! Actually, from the time of departure, I was thinking, "I thought I had a drone, but I didn't. I think it's a regulation in a densely populated area."

The operator instructed me, "Please turn to the drone! Smile! Shake your hand!", But I was deliberately maneuvering this drone because of the wind. I don't know if it is, but it seems to be quite suspicious, so the entrant group looking up from below said, "Ohhhhh! Doesn't it fall? Doesn't it fall?" Of course, it's a fun story.

Shooting with the drone is finished safely, camera shooting from the elevated is finished, and the operation is relieved. By the way, when it comes to shooting, there were other shooting scenes that I was a little worried about. First of all, here is one. It's amazing.

Another cameraman gently pushed the video shooter wearing the roller blade to shoot the video. Instead of a slider? This is an idea because the photographer can move around and shoot beautifully. Of course, it is impossible to get over the roller blade. * By the way, this person will be photographed while self-propelled with a roller blade. It was so good that I was able to shoot a video while sliding backwards!

In addition, there is another one in connection with shooting. At the starting point of Daikanyama, the cameraman was shooting each of the entrant cars individually.

… And the story went off to shoot, but this is the end of the checkpoint at Onioshidashien. At Onioshidashien, there was Gymkhana from the moment I arrived, and soon after that I moved to a group photo ... so I completely forgot to get a stamp! It was dangerous!

When I saw the tent in the group photo, I remembered "Huh? Did you forget to do something?" And got a stamp just before returning. I had something like an energy drink here.

Now, all we have to do is aim for the Karuizawa Marriott Hotel, which is the goal of the first day! From here, my husband changed driving again. This change of driving was really wise. because. Yes, the mountain road on the way back from this Onioshidashien (Shiraito Highland Way?), Everyone, I was able to get off at a very fast speed ^ ^

I really go by the speed of "Well, is this road okay at that speed?" My husband also follows while saying, "Everyone, it's fast ~", but if you relax a little, the front will move away in a blink of an eye, so you can't really keep up. It was the momentum to be shaken off. As expected, everyone, Porsche ride. Driving is different ... It's a run that I can never do ^ ^

I ran through the waterfalls of Shiraito (everyone is fast, so I'm thrilled in the passenger seat and I don't have time to see the waterfall (laughs)), so I finally got out on the general road and settled down ... It was fast ... After that speed, when I saw the back view of Porsche who was laid down on the road like this, everyone felt that "Oh, it was fun, let's go home already", I felt like I was done. Everyone looked very cute in the back.

Before scoring for the Marriott Hotel in Karuizawa, the entrants have a final job to do. That is "putting in gasoline for tomorrow." If you stop at a gas station during the second day of driving, you may be separated from the group, so if possible, at the end of the first day, you will be instructed to fill up with gasoline again. It was in.

So, the gas station that was there before I arrived at Marriott is in this state. The gas station is completely "Porsche traffic jam".

Other places are Porsche-congested gas stations. When we were getting gasoline, the gas station manager asked, "Are you doing any event?" And explained, "No wonder you see a lot of Porsche! I was convinced. Surprisingly, even if you have an event at a local gas station, you don't know.

We also filled up the gasoline safely, and finally we really headed for the goal of the first day. On the first day, the last Porsche white flags came into view. Finally, we arrived at Karuizawa Marriott Hotel.

A goal was set, and beautiful older sisters and management people welcomed us. For the time being, I'm relieved. And this time, the Porsche sisters who accompanied me were very beautiful & cute, very kind and lovely!

I made a goal safely, stopped the car, and then checked in at the hotel. Anyway, this is the end of the first day of the rally. was fun! Everyone, it's really great that they arrived safely without any accidents.

Thank you for your Porsche. Thank you for running a lot all day and entertaining us together! is.

… The blog is still going on… (laughs).
