I knew nothing about Porsche until now - what I learned from Porsche's driving school

Even women want to be called "Porsche drivers"! - I went to a Porsche driving school.
The first training session of the afternoon was aJ-turnI had never heard of J-turn before, so I couldn't picture it, so I looked it up on the Internet right then and there.Term used to describe an intentional 180-degree spin turn from a backward travel.It was written that "the
From the instructor later.Experience "understeer/oversteer" and learn machine controlThis was explained to me. Incidentally, the training course was sprinkled with water to facilitate understeer, creating a large puddle.
Again, however, we could not get a good idea of what we were looking for just by listening to what the instructor had to say, so we decided to have the instructor give us a demonstration first.
The instructor said, "A version in which understeer occurs but the car's behavior is not reestablished without handling maneuvers.and "When understeer occurs, the handling maneuver is performed to change the direction of the car.I was surprised not so much by the behavior of the car, but by the splash, which was more intense than I had imagined.
Ha, intense...I don't do this kind of thing....
Anyway, we made it as far as the pylons that marked the way.Accelerate to a speed of about ○○km/h, then let off the gas pedal, take a breath, and then turn the steering wheel at once.Please note Note that even if you steer while accelerating, the car will turn normally and will not understeer. And everyone, be sure to keep your windows closed. It will be a big problem.
The instructor told us to get into our cars and start the first run. I was a little intimidated, so I didn't make any J-turns or anything.Just a big puddle of water and a quick turn along the pylon to go home!(explosion).
What the heck... (-_-)
Try to go faster. Also, let off the gas pedal and take a breath before turning the wheel.
The next time I took this advice, I increased the speed as fast as I could, took a breath, and turned the wheel, which resulted in understeer at the end of the race.
'TheGa-ga-ga-ga...!With a loud tire noise, the car skidded with a force I had never experienced before.
Scary...!!!
I continued to steer the car, and when the car turned around and I was relieved to get back into formation, the instructor told me that the car was now in the right direction and that I should go back to the car.
Now that...I did get some understeer, but the more I cut up, the more understeer I got at the end. This is not the kind of understeer we intend in our J-turn training, so...Turn the steering wheel as hard as you can at first so that you can get understeer from the beginning of the turn.Let's do it.
The advice is.
It is true that "I was afraid to turn the wheel, so it didn't behave like the instructor's demo.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that," and on the next run, I cut as hard as I could from the beginning.Ga-ga-ga-ga...!With the sound of tires saying "Understeer and the car turns around quickly and gets back up.A series of operations called
...Yes!
Yes, yes, now! Remember that feeling and do it again. This time, be aware that you can do it more smoothly, right up to the point where the understeer goes out and the vehicle is back on its feet.
I tried to do what I was told, but my mind was so focused on getting the car back on its feet that I could not steer as hard as I wanted and could not get a good understeer.
I've tried about 10 times to train for J-turns, but I'm not sure I'm ready for it.If time permitted, I would have done it 20 or 30 times until I got a good feel for it.Then, after the training was over, I was surprised when I got out of the car to hear the instructor's summary.
Boxster is in the doldrums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Boxster, which was so beautiful, became covered in mud in an instant. "I wonder if we can get the sprinkler trucks waiting over there to spray water on it and clean it up...I thought, "I'm not sure I can do that.
(↑Water sprinkler truck. (↑water sprinkler truck, which was on standby the whole time and refilled water during the training)
The instructor told us this story.
."Always close the windows.I hope you now understand what I meant when I said, "I've never experienced such understeer on a real road," (laughter).It's definitely a big accident, hitting a car in the opposite lane and a guardrail........ I hope you can see that on a rainy day, going around a curve at such a high speed would result in this kind of result.
Improving one's driving technique means being able to drive faster, but it also means being able to drive more efficiently.To understand how a car moves and under what circumstances, and to be able to drive safely at any time.I also learned that it is also "a
After the J-turn, we had time to test drive new Porsche models, and were allowed to drive the new 911 (992), Cayenne, and Panamera GTS, as well as take the full-throttle challenge, which I will discuss in a separate article.

It looks like you've taken another step into driving with PTE (laughs).
I also go to schools outside of PTE. Part of that is to increase my skill set and protect my family and my car in case of an emergency, but most of all I want to be a better driver.
If we can be aware of smooth driving that also leads to speed, not wasting brake pressure, turning the steering wheel slowly while considering the slip angle, not overlapping maneuvers, and minimizing the amount of maneuvering by anticipating the road ahead, we can drive gently with less 3-dimensional shaking and less anxiety for passengers! (No matter how carefully you drive, you can still drive a camel. (Although it is also important to have a good car that does not add or subtract anything unnecessary to the driver's operation, as many cars are jerky no matter how carefully you drive them.)
Since I started attending the school, my wife, who is a passenger, has been sleeping more frequently, but it has been a good training for me to be more conscious of gentle driving as a shofar driver.
Mr. Tap.
I'm a little bit hooked (laughs).
>Since I started attending the school, my wife, who is in the passenger seat, has been sleeping more frequently, but it has been a good training for me as a shofar driver to be more conscious of gentle driving.
Oh, I see (laughs).
I think that means they are driving very comfortably.
I imagine that the moderate swaying and smoothness must be really comfortable like a lullaby (laugh).
Driving is a very deep thing.
I shall continue to devote myself to it!
I would be happy to learn more from you.
Thank you for your continued support.
Dear Mina
Thanks for your time.
I learned so much about PTE in Shirahama.
I was there the day before as a warm-up, and it was raining in the afternoon.
Slalom in the rain and avoiding danger from full braking. I learned a lot.
I personally think the change from a steady circle turn to a J-turn was very good this time.
During the lesson, the instructor said that professional drivers often use the phrase "pick up the grip," and it was worth it just to learn the importance of being aware of the load, feeling the grip of the tire, and steer gradually while taking the J-turn lesson. It was worth it. He also answered our questions about how to drive on roads with elevation differences such as Ashiyu and Mita Nurburgring, and how to practice on such roads. It's not often you get a chance like this (^_^)I'm glad I took part. How was the new model test ride experience? The instructor said that if I had to choose one, I would choose the 992S. I was also very impressed with the Carrera S. I would like to participate again next year.
Mr. Taklow.
Thank you for visiting my blog!
I see you joined in on the warm-up!
Slalom in the rain, emergency avoidance...wow, that would be a real learning experience.
>They were also able to answer questions about how to drive on roads with elevation differences, such as Ashiyu and Mita Nuru, and how to practice there.
I see! I see - I should have asked those questions too...
The instructor was also very attentive in answering any questions I had, so I learned a lot from that interaction.
And as for the test drive of the new model, that was interesting!
Personally, I also found it interesting to see how different the Panamera GTS and the Panamera Turbo are.
The 992 was an awesome car too!
I would love to participate next year, too!
We were in the same group at Nanki-Shirahama PTE.
It was fun to experience so many different elements, and to share them with all the participants!
And the professional driver was awesome!
He was truly a Porsche driver.
I had the same experience, and then I read this blog.
This is how it is spelled out with great sensitivity, ambition and gratitude.
I think it's the readability of this blog and its ability to make you want to read the next article again.
I really felt it. Your personality and curiosity ooze out of you.
After meeting you and your wife, I like this blog more.
I look forward to seeing more in the future.
Mr. 981 Cayman rider.
Thank you for the other day!
And thank you so much for taking so many wonderful pictures!
It was a great help to me to be able to use it on my blog...!
It is difficult to convey what I experienced there only in words.
Thank you for saying so.
I've found Porsche owners to be a really nice bunch of people.
I am grateful for these encounters, and I am sure we will meet again somewhere else.
I would love to meet your grown children and
Thank you for your continued support ^^^!
