PTX Performance mileage

At the Sunako Juku held at the parking lot of Fuji Speedway the other day,Running a distance of about 80 km only with lessons in the parking lotI was there.

Then, at the Porsche Track Experience Performance Level at the Sodegaura Forest Raceway this time, I was wondering how far I would run in one training.

Just before arriving at the Sodegaura Forest Raceway this morning and starting training, I was resetting the 911 rangefinder (trip meter) ↓

Looking at the meter after running for a day ... Oh.

The mileage of this day's PTX training alone is "97.6km"!

The good thing about PTX at the Sodegaura Forest Raceway is that the morning training was divided into two parts, the "outer circumference" and the "inner circumference" of the circuit, so I ran in each lesson. After that, you cannot say "U-turn and return".

What this means is that you can only go around the circuit once for each run before returning to the next waiting place.

Therefore, the reason why "I can't make a U-turn" is good is that I run a lot (although only the outer circumference) in the circuit every time to return to the next waiting list. I can do it.

It was fun ~. This was really the best ^^

Even during the 30-minute free practice session in the afternoon, I ran almost without a break, so in the end, the mileage in one day of PTX was quite good.

After all it will be taken care of by the mechanic

911 was broken when I participated in PTX last timeTherefore, I was very much indebted to the mechanic of the Porsche Center (PC Meguro) in Tokyo who came to PTX at that time.

Then, this time again, the same person came as a PTX mechanic.

I was happy to see this reunion and said, "I got my car fixed, so I came back without any discipline."

Even after all the training was finished, I told him, "I'm glad I didn't take care of you (to the mechanic) in a good way because it didn't break this time ^^!" rice field.

…But.

After all it was taken care of at the last minute.

Here is it ↓ Do you know what this is?

That's right, when I opened the glove box, the ETC was down (laughs). There is such a thing!

I was surprised, but I told the mechanic that "ETC has fallen !!" and asked me to fix it quickly.

In the end, I was taken care of, but this time I'm glad that this was the case ^^

Thank you both last time and this time!

PTX Completion Ceremony and Award Ceremony

After the training, everyone gathered again at the place where the briefing was held in the morning, and it was a graduation ceremony and an award ceremony.

At each seat, there is a certificate that proves that you have participated in and completed the performance level PTX program this time.

It's just this one file, but I didn't get it last time, so I'm really happy to receive this certificate this time.

Before, when I participated in PTX Precision, I thought that this certificate would be taken for granted, so I was happy but not so "impressed" (sorry).

However, for me (laughs), who had a rare experience that "just because I participated (applied), I couldn't get it," I was deeply moved by the receipt of this certificate.

Porsche Japan Award

The "Award Ceremony" was held following the general comment of the day from the instructor and Porsche Japan and various stories.

Each group A to D has an "instructor award" in which one instructor is selected from each group, and each sponsor's name is given by one person selected from all the participants. There was an award that has been given (such as the Michelin Award).

At last, all the awards were announced except for the last one ... Only the announcement of the last "Porsche Japan Award" was left, but here it is.

I was laid back because I thought it had nothing to do with me, but I was called here.

Lie! !! I was very surprised. But I was very happy ^^

Hmm. wait. No, I know. Don't tell me because I know!

Oh yeah, I've written it many times, but last time I couldn't participate in PTX because the black carrera broke. That's why there was a little sontaku about that kind of thing, right? What?

Wow, wow, wow, I know (tears)!

I'm sure he gave me that kind of consideration (I'm sorry for the instructors because I'm not confident in myself, so I'm sorry for taking a humble view).

But still, if everything is really "consideration for the last event", it would have been nice to have Tekito make a "prize for participating again without discipline" (what that (laughs)). That's right.

Didn't you dare to win the final "Porsche Japan Award"? When I think about it, I think that I was able to acknowledge the effort of the day to some extent, and in the end I am honestly pleased (laughs).

I was really happy. thank you! !! !!

There is a prize that I received as the Porsche Japan Award on this day, and I would like to report on this separately. n/a.

Door to PTX Master Level

This time I got the Porsche Japan Award, which is one of the most wonderful and too much for me, but before I participate in this PTX, I can imagine that I will receive such an award. I didn't even set a goal, but there was something else that I really wanted to have this time.

What that is is "OK" from the instructor who said, "You can take the master level at the next PTX."

Today's PTXs require you to take a program one level below before you can take a higher level PTX. For example, it seems that you must take Precision before taking this Performance.

Furthermore, although not explicitly stated, in the current PTX, after each level of training is completed, the instructors will determine each participant a "recommended participation program" for that person, and there will be "the next". It is not recommended to level up unless you get the approval that you can go to the level.

My goal this time was to get that "OK" that "you can go to the next master program". That was my number one goal this time.

And the result.

Here is the check box for the "Recommended Participation Program" that was in the last report card of the day ↓

I'm happy! The Master level is checked! !! !! !! I was so happy that I was so happy ^^

Mr. Kageyama also directly said, "You can also go to the master." Oh, I'm so happy that I can't sleep just by looking back.

Even so, I still don't think that I can afford to participate in the Master level, so I would like to deepen my understanding in various ways before joining the Master.

In fact, even those who are already very good can't go up unless they participate from a lower level, so I think that some of them may have participated in Performance this time.

In fact, there were some people who were very fast on the circuit (Shonan number !! It was amazing ^^ !!).

The number of such amazing people will increase and become more sophisticated, so I would like to participate at least until it does not bother the participants around me.

Encounter with Porsche girls

Another thing that made me very happy with this PTX was the "encounter with Porsche girls".

Miraculously, there are two other women in the same C group besides me, and I talk a little bit between training sessions, and I also have lunch with one person.

Both of them were Porsche 911, and it was fun to be able to talk about Porsche together.

On the way, I talked about Urakan, but at that moment, the moment the woman I met said, "Urakan is hard to use that winker," I was completely moved! !!

"Oh yeah! That turn signal !!" (laughs). Because I've never met a woman who can sympathize with the conversation about how bad Urakan's turn signal is.

I was really impressed and talked about various things even in a limited short time ^ ^

Having the best encounter with such wonderful Porsche girls is one of the very happy events at this PTX. I also exchanged lines with the two, so I would like to have a Porsche Girls' Association someday when Corona calms down ^ ^

Already, when I saw a nice woman who was the same sex but was manipulating the 911, I was really impressed by how cool it was.

On this day, I was very happy to meet people I already knew, and several other people said, "You're a blog, right?" I was very happy.

Thank you for your voice ^^

At the time of the first PTX precision I participated, no one knew who was participating, but in this second (2.5th?) PTX, the instructors However, I was surprised that the participants had many acquaintances.

I am very happy and enjoyed that the wonderful relationship of Porsche connection spreads in this way, and this is one of the things that makes me happy to be riding the Porsche 911.

Once again, I've written a long blog about Porsche Truck Experience Performance.

I wrote this for my own records, and the other was "What kind of atmosphere and what kind of place is PTX?" And "I want to go, but what should I do?" This is because I thought it would be helpful for people.

I was really happy to hear that some people said, "I saw the blog post at the time of Precision and tried to participate." Thank you ^^

It seemed like a long day and it was a quick day. It was really fun.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the instructors who spent their time setting up and other activities from morning till late, and to all the operators such as Porsche Japan. Thank you so much for a very meaningful and enjoyable happy time!

As for the house, I also took time to thank Black Carrera.

When it comes to the scent of Carrera's heat after running a lot, there is no better drug. Fufufu. 911 metamorphosis until the very end.

It was the best experience to be able to play a lot with Porsche 911, run a lot without worrying about legal speed, deepen the understanding of Porsche 911, and get closer to your own car.

I think it's fun enough to just run on your own. However, I think that it is possible to discover the fun of Porsche different from the past by having professionals who know Porsche thoroughly teach me various things and run.

Shall we participate? If you are worried, please join us. I think that you will love Porsche more and more.

Oh, I love Porsche 911 after all! !! !! (I can't help saying ^^)
