Porsche "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" Experience: Part 9 (Day 2) Route & Start from Karuizawa Marriott-JA Saku Asama-Seisen-ryo (Kiyosato Ranch)

Porsche 911's "The Rally -Amazing Moment-" event held between Tokyo and Karuizawa from June 2nd (Sat) to 3rd (Sun), 2018, but after the long first day, finally the second day It's a start. On this day, the goal in Tokyo is to aim for "Palace Hotel Tokyo".

The schedule (route) for the second day of the Porsche Rally event is as follows.

The morning of the second day starts with breakfast.

Breakfast is buffet style at the same place as the dinner venue the day before. The breakfast venue will open from 6:30 in the morning, so go to the venue at your favorite time, eat freely, and just say, "Please be able to leave in the car by 8 am (waiting in the car)" It was that.

In the morning, all the Porsche-sans I saw before heading to the breakfast venue in the main building were wet with dew. As expected, Karuizawa gets quite cold in the morning and evening in June. Can you see that the pictures below and the windows are all cloudy? The body is also full of dew.

Since I was asleep from the morning, I completely forgot to take a picture of breakfast, so I don't have a picture of breakfast ... And I was drunk the night before, so the next morning it was enough to just have a cup of coffee and a little bit of something.

Breakfast was also free seating, so I was able to spend time with the entrants, who I will talk to for the first time, to talk with them. This kind of time is really nice.

I had breakfast quickly, and when I went outside, the temperature had already begun to rise little by little, and the dew on the cars was almost disappearing.

Unlike last night's 911s in the darkness where the whole area was asleep, everyone was lit by the sunny light from the morning and said, "Now, I'll do my best with the owners today!" I felt the spirit of "^^

I think that things and cars also have feelings, so on this day, at the parking lot at night, 911s also said, "Well, is your place running like that?" "Our owner, I don't think he usually rides so much, right? " 911s, everyone has a refreshing look from the morning! The weather was nice on the second day as well, which was really good.

By the way, it is finally the second day of departure, but here is the "sudden departure traffic jam". What's more, it's not a traffic jam on the road, but a traffic jam just outside the hotel.

In the frame diagram when leaving the hotel, you leave the hotel entrance and turn right, but the road in front of this hotel is a rather large main road. There is no signal ...

When the management side practiced the rehearsal in advance, there were few cars passing through this road, and it seems that there was no problem turning to the right, but on this day a tremendous number of cars were passing through the road. , I couldn't turn right at all. Hey!

The 911 will depart little by little, aiming for the gap between the cars running through the front of the hotel.

I found that the people in charge were quite impatient, and I felt sorry for this too ... But in reality, I don't think the entrants were so frustrated (at least we are), just "Oh, I'm from the right again, I'm from the left again. Hmmm, when will I be able to come out (laughs)? "

But when it comes time to leave, I've been waiting for it! Everyone makes a great noise, turns and runs away. This kind of home also just started running with 1st speed fixed ^ ^. After waiting, you'll want to go there.

Now. And it was amazing for me that there was a lot of waiting time when I left this hotel. At first, my husband was sitting in the driver's seat, but while I was waiting because I couldn't leave, I suddenly said, "From now to the next checkpoint, there are no mountain roads or highways, so I drive. Then I thought it would be better for me to do it, "and asked him to take over the driving.

And and. The drive from this Karuizawa Marriott to the next checkpoint, JA Saku Asama Yachiho store parking lot, became the "most enjoyable run" section of The Rally for me! !! !!

It's a general road, but it's wide and there are few cars, and Martini's 911 was running before, so I just ran with this 911 ... It was really great! I was always driving in Tokyo, and I said, "Hmm, Porsche has to run like this !!", making a very good sound and running several 911s in a row.

I really felt that "this is the joy of running through !!" It's like ... Oh, this is a different manufacturer (laughs). However, this was exactly the feeling of "joy of running through."

It was really nice! It was the best. A big thank you to Martini. It was a lot of fun to take the lead! !! !! It was so much fun that when I got to the checkpoint, I was so excited to say, "I was really happy to run behind you! Thank you!"

At this JA Saku Asama Yachiho store parking lot, you can get a stamp and drink service. Refreshing water? I forgot what I called it, but how many drinks have fruits and herbs in the water?

So, when I chose the kind of water I liked ... it was already in this mini-bottle and I got this mini-bottle. This is so cute! !! I also had a black bottle, so I wanted black as well, but if I made it black, the contents would be different, so I gave up and made both white ... But it's the cutest.

It is the Rally specification, and icons such as routes to take in the rally are designed. Among them, my number one favorite is that this 911 is flirting with Yokokawa's Kamameshi. It's too cute. Moreover, this unmotivated design is also the best. The quality as a product is ... well, I was wondering (laughs), but the design is cute, so anything is OK. Thank you Porsche!

There was a photo on the official site, so I borrowed it ↓ Here are the black bottles and drinks.

By the way, on the second day, we will proceed smoothly, so we will immediately aim for the next checkpoint, "Seisen-ryo (Kiyosato Ranch)". About Mr. Red Porsche, it is my driving again. Everyone was really comfortable flying, so I was able to run comfortably and it was the best 911 drive in the best weather.

We arrived at the checkpoint of Seisen-ryo in no time. A lot of 911s are parked in an insanely large parking space. People who came to sightseeing regardless of the rally by sightseeing bus etc. also said "What? What?" In front of Porsche 911 who came and stopped one after another, and photos etc. are quite good You were taken.

That would be the case if so many 911s were gathered. If I happened to be here, I'm sure I would have taken pictures in the same way!

Kiyosato Ranch is a jersey milk soft serve ice cream ...! So, when I was thinking of buying and eating, Porsche gave me such a nice present at the time of the checkpoint stamp here. "Voucher with jersey milk pudding soft serve"! This is nice ^^

Besides, I was able to choose one souvenir from two points. Surely one is curry? Such as it was. The other is the milk jam that my family has also given me. I love milk jam ~.

That's why I got a jersey milk pudding with soft serve ice cream. The pudding and soft serve ice cream that I ate in the comfortable shade outside was the best. Croquette or minced meat cutlet that was sold together at this pudding exchange place? There were quite a few entrants who were asked to do something like that ^^

This Seisen-ryo was the only spot where you could buy souvenirs, so you can get souvenirs here as well. I was a complete tourist here. When I was shopping leisurely, I was in a hurry because it was the last time I was called "Please leave now ~ !!".

Next, we will aim for a checkpoint at Katsunuma Winery Shanmori. It's still my driving! It's fun! !! !!
