PCCJ Opening Round

Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14.Porsche Carrera Cup Japan (PCCJ) 2019 season opener at Okayama International Circuitwill take place. The main focus of the race is Super GT, but at the same time, the FIA-F4 Championship and the Porsche Carrera Cup Japan 2019 will be held in the first and second rounds.

Two years ago, I left the kids with my parents and went to Okayama to watch the PCCJ with my husband and wife, but this year, the kids are a little older, so I thought, "Why not?I think it's safe to take him with us.The family of four had been planning to go there for some time.

The tickets our family purchases are.PCCJ Lounge PassCircuit admission, paddock area admission, and PCCJ lounge access. Entry to the circuit, entry to the paddock area, and use of the PCCJ lounge(meals included)The ticket includes the Pit Walk, Grid Walk, Pit Tour, and Cheerleader's Goods.

What a surprise, the list price is 41,000 yen (;).

Although the ticket price is high, we had a great experience when we watched the game with these tickets two years ago. However, my wife and I were able to see the "I want to watch the game in a VIP lounge in a relaxed atmosphere.It's not that I'm saying "I'm not a good person.(Even two years ago, we were barely in the lounge w...)

The pits of all the Cup cars competing were lined up right in front of the lounge.Wet or dry, which tires to go with?The strategy is being worked out until the very last minute, maintenance, andYou can watch the whole thing from the beginning to the end of the race.

Carrera Cup racers came in and out of the lounge, talking with the officials, and I could even feel the breath of the racers right after the race...I was impressed by such realistic atmosphere.

I also watched the WEC at Fuji Speedway in the Porsche officials' lounge.International racers, interpreters, and managers who may be traveling around the world.and other people from the world that I would never normally encounter were present in that space as a matter of course. It was at that moment that

I wonder what kind of work there is in this world... if I had known about this world when I was a little girl.I definitely had more options when deciding on a job in the future.must

I thought.

It's not that I wanted to be involved in the car industry.The world I usually see is not all there is.The world is an incredibly big placeIf you can experience firsthand at a young age that "Overseas, or in a different world than the one we are in now."I believe that this will greatly expand the possibilities of my life, as I will be aware of the

So my husband and I both said, "I want my children to be exposed to many of these worlds from a young age.I had a strong desire to watch the race with my children at the Okayama International Circuit this time using the PCCJ Lounge Pass.

In fact, when I was there before, some people came with their children.

Child rates are set at...

I had been asking my dealer representative to arrange my PCCJ and race tickets every year, so I thought it would be the same this year and did nothing in particular, but I recently learned that the method of purchasing tickets has changed this year and that you must apply online yourself.

."If that's the case, we'd better hurry!When my husband tried to apply online, there was no explanation of the child fee, so he inquired about it, and to his surprise, the representative told him, "I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do.Children need the same amount.The answer came "I'm sorry, but I don't know. Upon hearing that.

Even Super GT tickets are free for children under elementary school age when it comes to passes to the paddock, and even elementary school students pay about 2/3 the price of an adult...(Free for junior high school students and younger if you just want to watch the game)

And to be honest, I was a little disappointed. HoweverLater that day, I received a call from the other party correcting me, "No charge for preschoolers!"

Oh, thank goodness...! Thank you, Porsche Japan!

My husband, on this matter.

In the long run.It is quite possible that a child who watches the race here will become a Porsche owner in the future.I think it's great that they are taking steps now to rejuvenate the user base.

He said.

Car "nurturing

Porsche these days, especially when it comes to models like the Cayman and the Macan.The campaign is aimed at a younger user base.The company appears to want to broaden the range of its purchasing base.

That said, I'm not going to suddenly tell someone in their 20s today that they're not going to be able toLet's buy a Porsche!However, Porsche has an image of being a luxury car with a high threshold, so to say that it is suddenly an option when purchasing a car... that seems a bit difficult.

So these things are like education..."education about having a good diet"training in aestheticsAs the word "motorsports" suggests, it is not easy to penetrate into children's minds unless they are exposed to it, experience it, and immerse themselves in it from childhood. In particular, the motorsports culture has not taken root in the country, and "theCars = Road tripor "Car = NerdEspecially in a country like Japan, which has a strong good impression of itself.

On the contrary.I became interested in cars after watching F1 at the Suzuka Circuit when I was a child.Racers who say, "I'm not a racer," or "I'm not aMy father was a car enthusiast and I was exposed to cars as a child, so I became a car enthusiast myself.We hear a lot of stories of "I'm not a good person.

The experiences we have when we are young have a great influence on the decisions we make later in life. That is why.From a young age, he had the opportunity to come into contact with Porsche andIf you make a good impression there.There is a high possibility that the child will become a car enthusiast and that Porsche will be an option when he/she buys a car in the future.Becomes.

Therefore, I believe that Porsche's efforts to create an environment where children can easily watch the race, as they did this time, will certainly help foster Porsche fans in the long run.

On the other hand, companies have to make a profit every year, and it will not be easy to invest in long-term strategies that do not produce immediate profits. But, as we've seen.It's open to children, and children are WELCOME."or, on the contrary, "I'm not sure if I can give the impression that I'm aChildren are CLOSEI think the future will be completely different if we give the impression that we are "the best of the best"...

I was reminded this time that Porsche, which has led the sports car industry for 70 years, would be happy to play a role like "car education" in Japan...I hope that Porsche can play a similar role.

Let's all watch the PCCJ!

Lastly, my husband, who is an IT guy

When I tried to apply for this site, I was a little worried because I could only choose the number of people up to 2 and there was no explanation about payment or the flow after purchase. If I were you, I would have made it easier to purchase... w

I'm curious about it because my main business is IT.

Anyway, I'm getting more and more excited about the opening round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Japan! By the way.Click here to purchase a Porsche Carrera Cup Japan Guest Passis
