Porsche Sportscar Together Day 2019: Porsche Event @ Fuji Speedway

I went to Porsche Sports Car Together Day 2019

Porsche's event "Porsche Sportscar Together Day 2019" was held at Fuji Speedway from June 15th to 16th, 2019.

It was a Porsche-colored event that is irresistible for Porsche lovers, and this year was also the place for the public premiere of the new Porsche 911, so I think many people were looking forward to it.

Yes! I was looking forward to it ~. I'm excited until this day comes.

It was an event that was held for two days, but this time I participated in the second day, 6/16 (Sun). It was said that it rained heavily on the 15th the day before, but it was a pleasant sunny day from the morning on the 16th.

I was thinking of going with 911 Carrera, but in the morning I suddenly said, "Go with GT3!" And changed my mood, so I decided to go with GT3. First of all, I put in gasoline from the morning and started.

This time, neither my husband nor I had any particular plans to return from the event first, so it's rare (?) A couple dispatched together.

It's been a while since I went to Fuji Speedway with one car together ... It's becoming more common to go to Fuji Speedway (hereinafter, FSW) with two cars. What kind of couple (laughs).

Porsche who gradually increase as FSW approaches.

I was able to run while watching various Porsche running, and I was kind of happy when I thought, "Oh, I'm sure everyone is heading for FSW", and it was a really fun drive.

On this day, I was driving from the time I left home, and my husband said, "Driving on the way, I'll take over." I wondered, "Where should I have my driver change?"

That's how quickly I feel like following up. There was an excitement like "Porsche's event from now on!", So I may have felt that way.

That's why it was all my driving, but this was no pain at all, and it was "the best!" (Laughs).

I arrived at the east gate of FSW at a place where I really wanted to run a little longer.

However. I was supposed to stop at the A paddock on that day, so I said, "I can't enter from the east gate. From the west gate," and then head to the west gate.

It's been a long time since I entered from the west gate. Oh nostalgic.

Yes, and it was the road from this side to the A paddock that ranAt the time of last year's BlancpainWasn't it the last?

For the first time, I went to FSW alone (plus a child), and when I was at a loss in the parking lot because I didn't know where to go, I remember having a Porsche salesperson come to help me with a Macan. I still vividly remember that the salesman and Macan at that time seemed like a god ^^

Nostalgic. It's a lie that it's been less than a year since then. When I say "Porsche Porsche" every day, the days go by quickly (laughs).

At the time of Porsche truck experienceEnter the A paddock from this side ↓, which is the opposite side of the A paddock.

Go ahead as you are guided and park by saying "Please stop here".

It's like the 911 area, near where the 992 was on display.

Looking at it from a distance, this yellow circle ↓ I like the appearance of my car secretly sneaking into a lot of Porsche ^ ^

Looking at it from a distance, "That's my cute 911 ~. It's always nice to see", after all, I just fell in love with my car and was complacent (laughs).

The new Porsche 911 (992) was normally parked in the parking lot

And as mentioned above, two new Porsche 911s were parked around this area where I parked my car this time.

Somehow, it's really stopped normally, so I might have passed in front of it without noticing it when I was walking around. That much, it stopped naturally ^ ^

First hereAventurine Green Metallic 992↓

And before that, 992 Carrera S of Dolomite Silver Metallic. This is,The car exhibited at the event the other dayis.

Porsche 911 is not out of shape! I think…

No, I mean, it was a very valuable experience to be able to see 911s of other generations standing in front of me in front of 992, but this time I thought Does that mean, "Maybe Porsche 911 doesn't have the word out of shape?"

The 992 is the latest model, so the more you look at it, the more you get used to it and it becomes "cool".

But then, when I look at 991.2 and think "Oh, it feels old", I don't think that's the case at all, but rather "Yeah, 991.2 is also super cool!" It's a car model, so maybe I'm self-satisfied (laughs)?).

And with regard to 991.1, I never think that it is "old!", But I still think that it is "cool!".

so. Then, when the generation goes one step further and becomes "997", this time around, "the taste comes out", or "Yeah, 997 has the goodness of 997". When it changed and it became 996, 993, 964, it gradually became "history" and entered the realm of classic cars.

Then, in fact, at the boundary between "immediately after the new generation came out and became out of shape" and the passage of time, the Porsche 911 of a certain generation "entered the realm of classic cars". Or, I feel that there is no negative period like that strange "This car is old. The design is old-fashioned."

Of course, car design is a personal hobby that people like and dislike, so this is my personal opinion.

However, there is no Porsche 911 that seems "old and dull" to me.

That is also the great thing about Porsche 911, and I wondered if 911 has been keeping the design as 911 while constantly evolving as "911" from long ago. rice field.

Well, I was thinking of writing a story about the event, but I turned to a completely different story ^^

There are also various Porsche exhibits in the A paddock. The guards who were guarding the cars here were pretty nice. Because, if the person who is observing wants to get closer to the car, he says, "Don't touch it!"

It was seen quite firmly, and there may have been times when people who were observing this thought, "No, I don't touch it!", But I exhibited the car. From the owner's point of view, I thought it would have been safer to have this kind of security.

The cars on display

• 2006 Porsche Carrera GT
• 2013 Porsche 918 Spyder
• 1953 Porsche 356 PreA 1500 super
• 1970 Porsche 914/6
• 1973 Porsche Carrera RS2.7
• 1989 Porsche 930 Speedster
• 1989 Porsche 930 Turbo
• 1993 Porsche 911 (964) RSR 3.8

Such. It's amazing! Porsche and others are standing in front of us as a matter of course, but each has a history, and it seems like a miracle to be here and meet. Personally, I was happy to meet the 930 Speedster.

… That's the photo below, the two on the bottom left are actually different cars. For me, who has little knowledge about classic cars, it is difficult to distinguish between the two cars from this angle ^^

Then, I would like to see what kind of event "Porsche Sports Cart Together Day 2019", which was too happy for Porsche lovers, was a large gathering of Porsche from all over the country, and also an overview and venue ~ ..

Porsche Sportscar Together Day 2019 Program Overview

First of all, when you park your car about the venue, it is the reception. We will go up to the 2nd floor where the reception hall is located.

This time, my house had purchased a lounge pass, so this reception is like a general reception for entering the lounge.

In addition, those who applied for "New 911 (992) Birth Commemorative Special Special Offer Package" and "Circuit Experience Driving" also needed to be accepted here.

The reception hall was large ...

After successfully completing the reception, I was able to receive such a lounge pass. If you wear this, you can go in and out of the lounge all day.

After leaving the reception hall, the passage on the 2nd floor leading to the lounge is also exciting to see Porsche Japan of this Porsche Crest that you always see at the time of the event.

Well, that's why it seems that the tension will rise, but it will rise (laughs).

It's kind of like "Oh, I saw this again", a sense of security that you can see something you're used to seeing. (What's that (laughs)).

Rather, I'm sure that just thinking "Today is a Porsche event !!" will raise the tension no matter what you see.

Just seeing a lot of Porsche flags fluttering like this "Oh Porsche. This, this,The one I shook during the rallyIsn't it the same as? "It makes me happy. Really, I'm too simple ^^

Let's enter the main lounge. The so-called FSW crystal room.

When you enter the room, there is a reception again (some people are accepted here), and when you pass there, you will be greeted by a picture of Porsche.

There is a round table in the crystal room (lounge), and you can use the vacant place freely.

This lounge is located in a building right next to the home straight of the FSW main course, so if you look down from the glass window, you can look down on the home straight, so if you can watch the race from here, You can enjoy the race from the images displayed on many TV monitors installed in the room.

A slightly larger monitor was also installed on the wall side, where you could see the race results and the actual race.

When the car returns straight, you can see the actual cars running through the glass, and at other times you can watch the race through the monitor, which is very good.

What's more, the most gratifying thing is that it is fully air-conditioned. It was very hot outside on that day, but I'm really grateful to be able to gracefully watch the race with a drink in the room where the cooler is listening.

... But, while saying that, I'm still unsatisfied, and I still go out to watch the race in the hot weather ^^

On this day, I was able to take a leisurely look at the parade run of the Warm Up Light + class members of the Porsche Truck Experience, which was held at the same time in the morning.

At a glance, I got the impression that there weren't many 911 models in the participating models (I participated this time).Compared to Precision) ↓

In addition, there is also a "clock sale" that seems to be almost the norm in the lounge of car events. This time is Chopard.

You may see it in the back, but there are several corners where you can enjoy cold drinks, warm drinks such as coffee, and small chocolate sweets whenever you like.

Also, in the back of the lounge, there is a kids space and a shop of "Stand 21 Japan" that sells Porsche goods, which was exhibited at the time of Porsche truck experience.

An event called "911 & Classic Contest" was also held on that day, so photos of the cars entered in this contest were posted.

I participated in this Porsche Sportscar Together Day on the second day of the event, so I posted the photos of the cars entered on the second day and the one entered on the first day of the previous day. Pictures of cars.

And on the previous day, the car that won the contest of the day was announced.

There is a ballot box, so I will vote for the car that I thought "I like this".

Not only the photos but also the actual cars are parked in the A paddock parking lot, so you can see the actual car and decide which car you want to vote for.

Personally, the cars in the classic car category have a lot of individuality, so I could immediately select "This is good!", But when it comes to the 911 category, which is not the classic category, In fact, I didn't know which one to choose ^^

Meanwhile, the reason why I won the 911 category on the second day was when I saw it before (another car but the same model) and thought it was "nice !!"Porsche 911 50th Anniversary EditionIt was a car.

It is a very rare color 911 (I forgot what color was said (tears)), the owner says

"It took me three years to persuade my wife to buy a Porsche 911. It was the 50th anniversary model of the same year as me that was released when I was able to buy the 911 after just completing the persuasion. My wife told me to ride for the rest of my life, so I will still ride. "

And that. Somehow, it was a story that made me feel warm when I heard it ^ ^ Porsche 911 of the same age as me who came to me after overcoming various conversations of the couple. It really touched my heart that I wanted to continue to take good care of it.

In the case of my home, if my husband says "I'm thinking of buying a Porsche", my wife has changed, so it will probably take 3 seconds to persuade her. Well, that doesn't seem to be a moving story at all (laughs).

No, but I don't think I will buy the same Porsche unless I think "I'm sure you will love this car and you can take good care of it."

I love Porsche, but that doesn't mean that Porsche is all right ^^

Lounge pass includes lunch

If you purchase a lounge pass, you can also have a buffet lunch in the lounge between 11:00 and 16:00.

This 11: 00-16: 00 is a problem (no, it's a good one ^^), and even though I ate lunch after 11 o'clock, when I came back to the lounge before 16 o'clock, I said "I'm a little hungry." There is a danger of overeating, saying, "I'm vacant."

The buffet is Menchi-katsu, Paella, Carbonara.

Personally, it was strange that there was something like curry, but the ingredients in it looked like a yaminabe (laughs), no, I didn't know the color because it was filled with curry. In the sense that I don't know what's in it ...

So, I thought, "What's this?", And when I took it properly, the object in the curry was "gyoza" (not for grilled dumplings, but rather water dumplings). (Plump feeling) that seems to be common in Japan.

It's just like a yaminabe, like "Yes, this is dumplings from the curry!" (Laughs). It's too interesting. Porsche who brings laughter even in such a place is wonderful ... What? You didn't come to laugh ^^?

I didn't take anything else, but it seems that there was something like a fish ball. It's too strange ...

Looking at the other people, there were people who had curry on the minced meat cutlet and curry on the paella to make curry rice (?), And it was really funny that everyone was arranged and enjoyed. ^^

992 special exhibition, kids corner, fitness corner, etc. on the 3rd floor

By the way, I would like to leave the lounge for a while and go to the 3rd floor, which is one floor higher.

The Gentian Blue Metallic 992, which was also exhibited at the recent collaboration event with Hugo Boss, was exhibited here.

Exactly what I wrote the other day, "Additional information such as ignition of new Porsche 911 (992), umbrella holder etc.This is the car I saw in.

In addition, there was another place called Fitness Zone where you could try various fitness-related things.

here,It was used at the place of the announcement of the new MacanIs it something? There are also Miami blue goods that you can think of.

Of course, behind these Miami Blue Goods & Fitness Zones, there was also a real new Macan.

Oh! New Macan! !! I'm happy to meet you! !! In Macan, this Miami Blue is really easy to understand, and I feel like "I am the new Macan", so I thought it was good ^ ^

There is also a kids space in the back. It was written as a go-kart, and children could play in a kids car.

There were a lot of people with small children, so it's nice to have a place for children to play.

Oh yeah, this time, although it has nothing to do with the event, I learned for the first time that there is an elevator that can raise the car to this 3rd floor.

I didn't always go to the edge of the building, so I didn't notice it. You're raising the car with this. Finally convinced. Yeah? But how do you carry it from here to your room? ??

Oh, I just wanted to write an overview, and it's been a long time.

picture? Should I derail the topic on my own? … Hmm, that's right ^^

There are still many things I want to write, such as the Carrera Cup and Porsche Sprint Challenge Japan, so I would like to write them separately.

First of all, on this day, until the end of the event and going home. Eh, is it still going on? If you think, I'm sorry, please keep in touch with me a little more ^^

As I was walking, I saw several Panamera gathered and stopped. All vehicles were hybrid (e-Hybrid model). Was it an event? By chance? That's not true. What was it?

I wonder how many Porsche cars gathered at FSW on this day, including parking lots other than the A paddock. I'm sure it was a tremendous number.

I was really happy to be able to participate in such a place with my own car. Also, on this day, I was very happy and happy to meet many people from Porsche Center, EBI Marketing, and Porsche Japan, which I love.

Ah, I headed to the car to go home, thinking that it was a happy day.

Yeah? What are you sticking to?

When I looked at it, it was a ladybug! !! Ladybugs are said to bring happiness if they see or stop, right? (I feel like I was particularly happy with my love affair, but ^^)

I would be happy if this ladybugs brought Porsche and us living with that Porsche even more happiness ... I thought, until the very end, my car again Looking at it, as usual, I arrived on my way home, realizing that "Porsche 911, I like it too much!"

… And my blog is about to end, but it doesn't end. I'm sorry for being persistent (laughs). In addition, we will continue to watch the race.
