"Ara of the World", Sunako Juku with Seiji Ara

Tsukuba Circuit: TC2000

Drive a little long distance with your favorite Porsche 911 Carrera. I put gasoline in the suburbs of the destination.

Where is this?

Oh, did you write it in the headline (laughs)? Yes, this is Tsukuba. The destination is Tsukuba Circuit, which is filled with gasoline.

Hmm, it's been a long time! Somehow, I'm excited just to wear it in Tsukuba.

Tsukuba Circuit after a long time. The Porsche 911 Carrera is in perfect condition, and the gasoline is full. I'm motivated.

A lot of nice cars have already stopped ~ ↓ Tension goes up ~! !!

Yes Yes Yes. That is right.

This day is the day of the long-awaited driving lesson "Sunako Juku" by President Sunako.

Oh, I'm too enthusiastic.

… And I was just enthusiastic, but in fact I was just a tour on that day (laughs).

I feel like how much you are enjoying the tour ^^ What? Didn't you bother to add gasoline just before the site?

On this day, I had to pick up my child in the evening, so I decided to just take a tour halfway. And, in fact, my husband participates in Fairlady Z.

Thank you to Seiji Ara

The Sunako Juku on that day was held from the morning, but we only participated from the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Sunako Juku will be taught by the instructor, Mr. Kochiya, including the head of Sunako, in a classroom lecture.

Some people are new to the circuit, so please do not hesitate to teach us how to run the TC2000 here at Tsukuba Circuit, tips, etc. from the basics for running on the circuit.

As I always write, the great thing about Sunako Juku is that it really teaches me anything.

If you don't have any regrets about what you teach, if you ask me that it doesn't work, you will be kind enough to teach me.

As you can see from this lecture, all the participants are wearing masks, and the seats where the participants sit and the instructor army are also social distant.

It's a unique interaction between Tomohiko Sunako and Mr. Tofuya, and I often get stuck in various laughter points, but if the participants can't laugh, the tomohiko who has been damaged so much is always very cute. Is ^^

Ton?

Isn't there another person? ?? ?? Who? ?? ??

Oh, I've already written this in the title as much as I can ^^

That's right ~! What a special lecturer at Sunako Juku on this day? As "Ara of the World", Seiji Ara appeared. Roughness! !! !! !!

I'm sorry, even if I say "I went to see Mr. Ara" on this day, there is no doubt about 120%.

Ah, no, I just wanted to go to Sunako Juku, and I wanted to meet Mr. Sunako and Mr. Tofuya about 150%. (I'm so upset that the numbers don't match at all (laughs))

Well, but to be honest, this day was my chance to meet Ara. I couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.

Because I had two big missions.

One is to thank Mr. Ara. And the second is "I want Mr. Ara to ride with me."

picture? Suddenly the second one is ugly (laughs)? excuse me. But, it's one of the dreams I want to realize, so I have to talk about it here.

The first "I want to thank you" is that Mr. Ara won me by lottery at the event venue of BMW Motorsport Festival 2019 held on June 23, 2019. There was something.

I've never had a place to express my gratitude for that, so I've always wanted to express my gratitude directly someday.

At the time of this event, I was asked to ride with Mr. Ara, but for some reason I could not meet him, which is also a remorseful content ... I'm sorry ... (Details are linked below) In the article ↓)

From June 23, 2019, I'm sure there will be an opportunity for me to say "I want to thank Ara-san directly someday" and "I missed this day (my fault)" Ara-san's riding together ". I have lived until now, believing that he will come again someday. Exaggerated as usual ^^

Practice panning with TC2000

By the way, first of all, I would like to take a look at the driving practice at Tsukuba Circuit TC2000 that was held this afternoon.

Mr. Sunako, Mr. Ara, and Mr. Tofuya will ride on this TC2000. In each participant's own car.

I go to the audience seats and continue to practice panning. Well, in fact, I haven't learned anything new, called practice, so I haven't improved or moved forward forever ^^

At the audience seats of TC2000, cautions regarding measures to prevent coronavirus infection were properly posted.

However, the race was not held on that day, so the spectators' seats were rattling.

Therefore, I occupied my favorite shooting spot almost exclusively and took a picture ^ ^

Since it's a big deal, I took some pictures.

Both cars were cool! * I'm sorry, it's heavy, so the resolution of the image is reduced here.

After the first run, I rushed to the owner of a car and went to talk to him.

Because there were a lot of different cars running, and when this one came running, you could immediately tell that you came! A car running with an insanely good roar. There was a car.

And that car was already Porsche, yeah, what to hide! !! !!

When I first heard the sound, I thought, "Hmm? Something came ?! What is this amazing sound ?? What car ??" People are excited.

Here it is. Porsche is Cayman GT4. It's cool ~! !!

The sound was so good, and for me, who loves Porsche anyway, the running appearance was so nice that I was delighted every time Cayman came (one person in the audience seat, almost Cayman's stalking state).

I was so impressed that after the driving time was over, I told the owner with excitement, "It was really cool! The sound is amazing!"

Porsche PTE coincidence

Then, in fact, when I participated in Porsche's PTE before, the owner of this Cayman also participated at the same time. "Maybe we were together!" Yeah, that's a great coincidence!

At the time of PTE, I was soaring, so I couldn't see the surroundings at all. I thought I'd be more calm from the next time ^^

What is Porsche's PTE? And, I think that you can refer to the link below for the situation at that time ↓

And then, a friend who came with the Cayman owner at Sunako Juku at this time was also participating in the PTE at the same time.

Eh ~! In that case, did you mean that four people who were participating in Porsche's PTE on the same day gathered at TC2000 at this time? ?? ??

picture? 4 people? Cayman's owner, his friends, me and ... one more?

Fufufu. How.

At the time of PTE, Mr. Ara from around the world was also an instructor. So 4 people. very. At the Sunako Juku at Tsukuba Circuit, there were actually four people who were at Porsche's PTE at the same time in the past ^ ^

Even so, the Cayman GT4 sounded really good. It really feels like it's showing its true potential on the circuit. Porsche is the best after all.

Cayman GT4 was really good. I was happy to talk with the owner.

That sound that I still remember. Ah. Carrera also wants to hear that best sound that can only be heard on the circuit.

…a. So what happened to my second purpose, "getting Ara-san to ride with me"?

result. It was a pity ~.

Actually, I was eager to take away my husband's riding slot (terrible (laughs)), but it was time for me to go home before that, so this time my husband rides with Ara-san. I had you do ^ ^

But when I think about it, I have never run the Tsukuba Circuit.

If so, it would be better if my husband, who had experienced TC2000 by himself several times, experienced Ara-san's driving, so I could understand the awesomeness more, so this time my husband tried to experience it. I thought.

Even if I experienced it, I was surely impressed with it, but I could never understand the details of what was really amazing. Then Mottainai.

That's why, for my husband, who is always driving in the same place in his own car, if Mr. Ara runs the same TC2000 in the same car as himself, he should understand how the driving is different.

In fact, when my husband, who had finished riding with him, came home, he said, "It was a different dimension!" I was impressed that it was too different from the Fairlady Z driving by myself ^ ^

It seems that I was shooting with GoPro, so I will show it as well. I'm looking forward to it.

Even so, Mr. Sunako, when I asked him to take a picture, he said, "Chief, middle, middle," and I like this kind of atmosphere. splendid.

And here is a commemorative photo taken.

Hmmm, isn't it nice! !!

It was a very good memorial for me. thank you very much! And again, this season's racing suit is black and really cool.

Always delusion

And then. One last thing that is illusory.

One of my dreams (delusions) has been upgraded.

Because, I had run the circuit only once in the past, and that was the Fuji Speedway at Porsche's PTE.

At this time, for the first time, I experienced the best sound I had never heard from my Carrera.

If so, even this my sloppy driving was the best sound of Porsche 911 Carrera that I had never heard before, but if Mr. Ara ran it, it would be too amazing. ..

And if it's a circuit that I've experienced, I can clearly see the obvious difference when I run it (rather than where I've never run it).

Furthermore, if it is FSW, there is experience (ride) that the BMW M4 GT4 driven by Mr. Tofuya has run at full throttle, and it is a place that I have experienced many times including parade runs.

Yes! !!

My next goal / dream is "to have Mr. Ara run FSW with his Porsche 911 Carrera (ride)". Yes, I know a hundred things are illusory. But it's a dream ^^

If I think about it, I believe that it will come true someday, and I would like to wait for that day to come.

By the way, on this day, after the first run, I left Tsukuba Circuit early and ran Carrera to pick up my child, and I managed to make it in time.

Until shortly before this child was picked up, it was like a dream that I was at the Tsukuba Circuit with Carrera and attended (no, a tour) of Sunako Juku.

Even though I didn't participate in Sunako Juku and it was a tour, I really enjoyed it ^^

Next time I want to participate again after a long time.

I was able to thank Mr. Ara directly, and I am glad that I was able to clear one mission first.

I would like to enjoy my Porsche life again toward the realization of my next dream.

Thank you to Mr. Sunako, Mr. Ara, Mr. Tofuya, and everyone who participated in the Sunako Juku for a good time!

* Only I have consented to the photo being erased ^^
