Sodegaura Forest Raceway Circuit driving

After the test drive of the Taycan, the racing course running, which is the PTX afternoon program, will finally start.

From here, participants will be required to wear a helmet, so be prepared.

Ah, I'm thrilled.

Prior confirmation of the course

Once again, Mr. Ara taught me before participating in the PTX at the Sodegaura Forest Raceway this time.Sodegaura Forest Raceway Strategy You TubeI saw it many times and just remembered the course (terrain).

It's a chance to run on the circuit with 911, but I don't know what kind of course it is, so it's a waste to run! !!

This day's circuit run, the first is the lead run following the instructor. After repeating it several times, the last 30 minutes of free practice. There is no time measurement in Perfomance.

Since this day is a performance level program, I was taught to run on the "safety line", and since he put a cone as a mark on the circuit, I will run with that cone as an index. I was able to do it.

It's raining on the circuit

This time, the weather forecast for this day was originally heavy rain, but it was miraculously clear in the morning, and even if it rained occasionally, it was just fluttering, and I was really grateful.

Even so, it rained quite a bit, which I had been trying hard to endure at the time of the last free practice, so the last circuit run was in moderate rain.

picture? Why do you suddenly talk about the weather here?

No, isn't it decided? !! No, no, no, no excuse!

I'll be uploading my circuit driving video from now on, so I'm trying my best to make excuses first! !!

Looking at the time from this video, it's about 1:28? ?? Oops ... No, but you see, it's raining! !! Almost no circuit driving experience!

This isn't the best lap (probably), and the 8 corners I practiced in the morning aren't close at all. However, when I searched from the video that there was no other car in front, the video of this lap was uploaded (← excuse until the very end (laugh)).

While saying that, I was able to run happily anyway, so I was very satisfied!

It was really fun ~ ^^

Oh yeah, and it wasn't raining so much right after the free practice started, and it started to rain more and more, so even if I was running, if I stuck in the same place at the same speed as the first time, I slipped. , I experienced such a thing several times.

I was able to experience that "it changes so much depending on the road surface conditions!", Which was very good. It was also a very good experience for me to say, "Well, I was able to go to the last minute, but now I'm a little scared."

Racing taxi experience at 911

I ran a lot and used up all my concentration on this day! I was exhausted, but when I started to relax thinking "I'm done", I said "Racing taxi will start".

I forgot. There was a racing taxi at the very end.

It is a circuit run with the instructor riding in the passenger seat of the car.

I took this 992 type Porsche 911 Carrera S with the one driven by Mr. Kageyama.

Well.

Impressive experience at the very end. After all, the driving of professional drivers was completely different.

Especially when I ran the exact same course myself until a few minutes ago, the difference was so obvious that what happened was, "Oh, did I ever run the same place?" I don't know if it's there ^^

The first thing that is completely different is how to step on the brakes!

This is amazing. It was amazing! No, it was amazing. And, of course, even in this rain, Carrera was attacked so that nothing would happen, and even if she slipped, she was quickly controlled and proceeded steadily.

I was impressed. No, I was really impressed. I'm sorry for my lack of vocabulary (laughs).

This time, the instructor said, "I have various hobbies (golf, etc.), but I can't easily practice with cars. That's why I do everything I can to get this kind of practice. It's better to get it. "

I think that's exactly what it is.

For this PTX, I think I've done everything I can.

I think I have absorbed a lot of what I can learn this time. Still, of course, there are still many things to do.

In the future, I will continue to value the opportunity to practice like this and do my best to enjoy what I can do once and for all. Yes, it's just fun. You can run 911 a lot like this.

Next PTX participation

The next PTX will be held at Fuji Speedway in May, so I thought about participating in the same performance next time, but as a result of thinking, I decided not to do it.

I would like to participate in this day and practice what I thought I hadn't done yet, and after I think that it was a little better than this day, I would like to participate in the next time again. ..

By the way, other places ... I heard that Sunako Juku, which I have participated in about four times, and the instructors Kageyama and Kagami are also holding a driving school. By the way, I wish I could practice.

Then, at the very end, I will continue with the total mileage on PTX and the encounters there. Please keep in touch with me a little more ^^
