What Porsche drivers think is important in driving a sports car.

My Family's Car Life

As a Porsche owner

I am not a person who usually drives that fast because I am not confident in my driving skills. Or rather, I drive so slowly that my husband says, "I don't drive that fast.You have to drive a little faster to appreciate this car...and so on.

I am such a person, but every once in a while, when I see news on TV or in the news about a driving accident caused by a Porsche, I am reminded and scared that it is no one else's problem.

The other day, I saw on the news that an air-cooled Porsche had an accident in Kyushu, a pleasant road that I had driven on in my Panamera.It was an accident there...I felt like I couldn't stand it," he said.

In fact, the other day, when the leaves were still beautiful in autumn, I went for a drive alone in my 911 to Ashiya Driveway. The road to the Ashiya toll booth is quite tight and has narrow curves, so I usually don't drive that fast, and I was driving the same way that day.

Then, if you look at the ...As we rounded a curve, the car suddenly skidded and the electronic control came on with a rattling sound.

I had only experienced control while driving in a Porsche driving school, so I was very frightened.

Actually, at the time, I was.They don't know why the car skidded at that speed.I was curious, so I asked my husband about it when I got home.

That's probably...You must have stepped on a fallen leaf.Moreover, it had rained quite a bit until yesterday, so if you step on wet fallen leaves, you will slip. It is dangerous to avoid fallen leaves.
If it were an air-cooled Porsche with no safety features, it would have run into oncoming traffic, and if it were a motorcycle, it would have completely slipped and fallen.We need to look more closely at the road surface conditions and drive more carefully.

And.

I see...! Fallen leaves are that dangerous!

I knew then that such things could also be the cause of major accidents.The importance of driving safely on a daily basis and having a good understanding of road conditions and vehicle behavior.I was keenly aware of the

Driving a Porsche

Until now, thePorsche Driving School (Porsche Track Experience)I have participated in the "Ride to the Top" twice, where I learned many basic things, such as the importance of adjusting the seat position, and when something jumps out, first apply the full brake and turn the wheel only after the vehicle speed has completely slowed down.

He also experienced under- and oversteer by making a steady circle turn in heavy rain, and experienced full braking from full acceleration more than 10 times, but "theModern Porsches do not get out of control unless you drive very recklessly.I felt that the "I'm a good person.

And at that time, the instructor, Racer.

."We will improve the accuracy of the system to ensure stable performance at any time and in any situation.If you can do that, you will be able to run faster. If you can do that, you will be able to run faster.

I was very impressed by what he said.

The words of a racer who usually drives on circuits and knows how scary cars can be were very heavy.The quest for speed is only possible if there is a foundation for stable driving.It is.

Porsche means.Because of the tremendous performance, drivers get too carried away.I think it also has the aspect of "I can accelerate as far as I can go. Because I can accelerate to any speed, and can usually take curves at high speeds, I feel good and sometimes I end up going too fast.

So, if you drive a high-performance car like a Porsche, you have to be more conscious of driving safely than usual.

    There is something called G-BOWL created by Hisao Kunimasa, who used to be active in dirt trials.
    There is also an iPhone application created by a fellow student.
    You do not have to bring a glass of water into the car.

    My phone is android and I love it on a used SIM-less iPhone.

    Hello.
    Be careful on mountain paths this season, as there are many fallen leaves.
    I also plowed into a local prefectural road near the Fuji Five Lakes area about a month ago.
    It was quite slippery with about 10 cm of fallen leaves.
    I was running with some degree of anticipation, but it was a bit scary.

    Yesterday, I drove the mountain road from Yamanakako to Kawaguchiko again, but it was completely dry.
    I was a bit nervous when I started to tailslide in a corner despite the road surface.
    After that, I immediately returned to a stable posture as if nothing had happened.

    Riding in sport mode (even though I didn't set it to +), I felt the same as usual.
    I was surprised because I happened to shift my seat position forward.
    I was in a different place, so maybe I had a different sense of what was going on there.
    In any case, when driving a Porsche, drive more safely than usual.
    Consciousness.

      I didn't realize that fallen leaves were so dangerous. I didn't realize that the fallen leaves were so dangerous...
      I realized that we need to watch the road conditions carefully and know what kind of roads are dangerous.

      Porsche's are so high performance that I can get a little overconfident in my driving.
      I was reminded once again that I must be careful.
      Thank you!
