Should the Porsche GT3 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires be replaced? ?? At Sunako Juku @ FSW

The other dayOne person made a round-trip drive from Tokyo to Fuji SpeedwayI wrote that.

From my husbandA high-speed driving ban on GT3 was issued (until the tires were changed)Despite this, I ran happily with the Porsche 911 GT3 and arrived at FSW!

There was "My husband's errand @ Fuji Speedway" on that day, so I used to make going to see it as an "excuse to run to FSW", but what was that "errand"?

The place is here. It is neither the main course of Fuji Speedway nor the short course, but the destination is here ... "Parking 7"!

No ~Experience lost in the parking lot in FSW at the time of the previous eventNow, I can just ask "What parking lot is it?" And say "Ah, there", and I can go by myself, which is amazing for me.

* There is a parking lot number sign in FSW, so if you look at it, you can go normally, right? You might think that, but it's not the usual level that you can go by looking at the signboards and guide maps, but at a very low level or low level regarding geography and land perception. I am (laughs). Even if I walk, I get lost in an impossible place ...

By the way, when you enter this parking lot No. 7, several cars are scattered and parked at the edge.

Oh! discover. There was also my husband Nissan Fairlady Z! !!

Yet again.Practice at Tsukuba Circuit the other dayJust like, sprinkle water on the course made in the parking lot with a sprinkler ...

Anyway, everyone runs around the wet state many times! !!

It was my husband's business to participate in the "Sunako Juku" held by Tomohiko Sunako, who can practice various driving activities.

Both President Sunako and Tomohiko Sunako have a faint feeling that "when this yellow Z comes, my wife (I) will appear without any meaning", so I am also at this time. When I went there, he warmly welcomed me, saying "Hello!". I'm happy ^^.

I think it must have been thought, "Oh, it has appeared again!" Will it even come to Fuji Speedway? Like (laughs).

By the way, Sunako Juku. There seems to be a place to learn in classrooms between running exercises, so you can learn with your head in classrooms, then run in practice and learn with your body.

It seems that it will be very difficult. After my husband also participated, I heard that I can realize that I am not very good (in my own way).

Certainly, if you can practice running in such a large place as you like on a rugged road surface, no matter how much you slip, you can experience "how far you can go" or "more dangerous". I think it's very good because I can remember it.

The car is muddy in a blink of an eye because it slides and runs around the place where it gets sloppy. ↓ It may be difficult to convey in the photo, but it is even blacker when you see it with your eyes!

… And if I was allowed to observe the running of my husband and the running of other people… Hmm? Is there a car that is really good and is running with a very loud noise? !!

It is a silver car in front of my husband. Oh oh. That is hello! !!

Wow! Porsche 911 GT3 991 early model!

As soon as the owner finished driving, he found this car and stopped next to him, saying, "Isn't it a late model ?!"

"I just delivered the car a week ago ~", and I talked about various things, "Let's take a commemorative photo together!" "Let's take a photo!" Of course, it's the cars (laughs).

Since my house is a big deal, I brought Mr. Z next to me and took a picture with three cars.

Cute buttocks.

When I was talking to the GT3 owner here, he said, "My driving skills are dangerous when it rains, so I plan to change the tires next week." "No, it doesn't slip as much as you think. I think it's okay if you don't drive too hard even on rainy days. "

He said he didn't slip at all when he ran on the circuit on a rainy day and ran straight at a fairly high speed. Of course, I think it's because he has a drive technique!

This owner, a very dandy and nice gentleman, also gave me a preface saying, "I can't say irresponsible because it's dangerous if an accident happens" ... He was a really nice GT3 owner.

Before,Porsche rally eventOrSeeing off touringThe owners I met at that time were all really nice people, and I thought again that it would be really nice to meet through Porsche like this. Thanks to Porsche.

so.

I realized that "Isn't it a chance to try out how dangerous it is to run on wet roads with two cup tires ?!"

I asked my husband, "I'm a little GT3, run once in a wet place !!" (laughs).

When driving, I never run in such a state, it feels like "everything except the lifter is included". It's kind of dazzling (laughs).

This state is, in other words, the following state.

It also means that the tires will not be damaged as much as possible (laughs), and after having the sprinklers mess around again, my husband changed from Z to GT3 and ran.

Oh, I'm running on a very wet road! How is it? Michelin Pilot Sports Cup 2 tires. Will it survive in GT3 as it is, or will it be replaced? ??

When I was looking at it, I just happened to be on the back course, and the silver GT3 I mentioned earlier also started running, so I enjoyed the composition of two Porsche GT3s running around, which is too nice. rice field. Of course, there are also two sounds!

Silver GT3 also has Michelin Pilot Sports Cup 2 tires and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) brakes ↓

As a result of having you run as hard as you can in the wet place ...

Now this!

Muddy (tears)! !! !! I knew this would happen, but I didn't! Shock (laughs).

... but, as a result, how was it running, my husband said.

"No, this may be all right than I expected. It doesn't slip more than I expected! If I try to slip, the limit of slipping is high, so if I don't increase the number of revolutions and put it firmly in the torque band, it may not slip easily. However, when it comes to sliding CUP2, the speed is fast and the number of revolutions is high, so in addition to the fact that the engine is sensitive to the accelerator, RR is also added, and the slip is fast! For me who is not good at driving, I spin beyond the range of drift control, or when I start slipping, I release the accelerator too much and the grip returns (grasping the change in the behavior of the car body) Maybe it's because I'm not used to it, so let me practice again!) "

Opinion. I have no idea what I'm talking about (laughs). Is this Japanese?

Hmmm. to worry.

Conclusion. My husband who came here and actually ran wet (if you only say the conclusion in an easy-to-understand manner)

"Well, I don't run on a rainy day & even if it should rain, the manhole, the iron joint of the Metropolitan Expressway, etc., and an acquaintance said that he slipped on the white line of the pedestrian crossing, so I went to the white line etc. If you are careful and run slowly at about 2,000 to 3,000 rpm, you may be able to do something about it. "

Because it changed to the opinion that ...

Conclusion! !!

For the time being, I will keep the Michelin Pilot Sports Cup 2 tires as they are. Thank you to everyone who gave us various advice! !! !!

Try to drive safely and avoid driving in the rain! !! !!
