Porsche Boxster

Riding a Boxster GTS

I have not been able to drive my 981 Boxster GTS (MT) properly for about 4 years. Since this summer, I have finally been able to drive it, and even though I don't drive it often, it doesn't stall or "go off the road" like it used to.I don't know what speed I'm on right now!I managed to drive reasonably well without being able to say "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

And this past weekend, for the first time in a long time, I was able to have my mother-in-law watch the kids.We got into the Boxster and decided to go to Ashiu Driveway as a couple.Then my husband, who was

I'm getting used to driving the Boxster.Practice driving with course taking in mind today.Why don't you try it? If you can drive smoothly and fast, you will enjoy driving the Boxster more.

So I decided to stop by the observatory later and practice driving on the Ashiu road for a while.

out-in-outAs said, when entering a curve, the clipping point from the outside as much as possible(the point where it comes closest to the inside of the curve)The car will cut in toward the And on the exit of a curve, aim for the straightest possible line to the outside, so you can accelerate well.

I took this advice and did as I was told, but to begin with, I don't know where the clipping point is (-_-).

."The curve is longer than I think it is, though!"I don't know, because I don't know what's ahead!As I was running along, mumbling and complaining about

When exiting the curve, theIt's got to go outward in a straighter line.What's the point of staying on the curve forever? It would slow down the rise of the car a lot.

and

Slow to turn the wheelI'm not sure. That's why the movement is so jerky. Instead of turning the steering wheel after entering a curve, you should start turning smoothly before entering the curve.

My husband told me that I had to stop the car and check again, because I gradually lost the translation while driving.


(I wonder what he and his wife are doing...)

After the explanation, I regained my composure and began to drive, but a quick glance in the rearview mirror revealed a Toyota 86 approaching at great speed...!

Oh no, it's so bad... so bad... so bad!!!!

Seeing me completely flustered and out of sorts, my husband

No, no, no, I'm not that agitated, so don't worry about it, just drive normally.

But even so, the sight of the 86 in the rear-view mirror is still bothering me. In terms of car performance, I think the Boxster GTS is definitely faster, but the driver's skill is not so good...

So, I managed to get the indicator out of the way and had it pulled out.

Car-friendly driving

I just got so tired of this one.Next, my husband drove to show me how he would take the course.

When my husband drove the Boxster, he got a feel for how it drove.The ride was still very smooth.It was easier for me to ride in the passenger seat because there were no strange G's when I went around curves. In addition, I was able to understand the course taking well enough to watch it objectively from the passenger seat, so I took over driving again after that.

I'm getting better at taking curves more smoothly than I was at first, but there are still many times when I make the wrong course depending on the road...from my husband...

As a professional driver once told me, you should drive two ahead.And. Don't just look at the curve in front of you, but depending on whether the curve continues ahead of you or is a straight line, the course you take will also change, right?
Also, Mina has always been a "I don't really want to go fast, so I don't have to think about the course.I stubbornly refused to practice on Gran Turismo, saying that it was a great way to practice the basics of course taking. After allWhen trying to drive a car comfortably, it is better to choose the shortest course and drive with as little extra G as possible.
The car behaves more smoothly and, as a result, can be driven faster. There are no sudden movements, so it's safer.Tire grooves are less likely to wear out and the car will be easier to drive with less strain.That's why I think it's important to have this kind of awareness. That's why I think it's important to have this kind of awareness.

The advice was given.

I see... (-_-)

After returning home, thinking that the more I learn about cars, the more profound they are.Oh, by the way, the Porsche Track Experience (PTE) in Wakayama is coming up soon!I checked the participation guidelines that I received in the mail and found this notation.

Hu, Full Throttle Challenge...!!!!!!!!

I remember... they said that the event will be held at the site of the old airport, so there will be long straights... I wonder if I will be able to drive properly with my Boxster. I'm pretty intimidated... but I'll do my best!

    Dear Mina

    PTE is coming soon. I will be there tomorrow at [warmup]. I am looking forward to it. It will be my first time to participate and I hope to learn a lot about driving. Looking forward to reading more about PTE!

      Mr. Takulo.

      >I will participate tomorrow at [warmup].

      Oh, yes! I'm really looking forward to it!
      I am excited to see what it will be like to do it on a former runway site.

      I'm worried about the weather, but I hope it holds out... >.<

    Driving is a profound and enjoyable experience.
    I hope he enjoys golf, swinging a baseball, or driving a car without having to learn the correct form or knowledge.
    It will be even more enjoyable as we gain more knowledge and hone our skills.
    What your husband is talking about can be explained by what is called "yakudo". (read as "yakudo").
    This is true not only for acceleration and deceleration, but also for the way the Gs produced when steering is turned.
    It starts with a two-dimensional explanation called course-taking, but while it is easy to understand, it is not easy to understand the three-dimensional movement from there.
    Some people suffer. So, while being aware of the course, please also feel if the car is not moving too much.
    Have fun and improve!
    See you then.

      Thank you for everything!
      As for your comment about "dynamism", I attended the Porsche Truck Experience today, and I was able to see the Porsche Truck Experience.
      I heard this phrase many times from my instructor.

      I couldn't help but think, "I know, I know!

      Today I could understand the three-dimensional behavior of the car very well.
      I was able to experience what it is like to drive as one with the car.

      It's very deep. I thought that I am not quite there yet.

      Thank you for your continued support!
