Last month was the Bon vacation. The second half of the holiday was spent in a state of idleness with no particular plans, but my husband did go touring frequently. He wrote an article about that time, if you would like to read it.

Obon GT3 Touring

The Obon vacation is coming to an end, but I can't stop my desire for touring. However, it is difficult for me to drive long distances, so I decided to go touring in my home groundJourney through the mountains of Hyogo PrefectureI decided to go out to

I wanted to leave around 6:00 AM, but I overslept and left at 8:00 AM. This time, at my wife's request, we went to the "I need you to take some video material.The request was made to prepare a variety of photographic equipment. The list goes on and on.

• SONY α7Ⅲ (Mirrorless SLR)
• SONY RX100M3 (compact digital camera)
• SONY SEL24105G (lens)
• SONY SEL70300G (lens)
• DJI Mavic Pro (drone)
• GoPro HERO7 BLACK (wearable camera)
• GoPRo HERO4 Silver (wearable camera)

Naturally, there is more to it than this.Multiple spare batteries, in-car chargers, various holders, gorillapods, selfie sticks, etc.and it is quite a load.

Luggage where the back seat of the GT3 is located.(GT3 does not have a seat itself)The first step is to pack the product into theHead north on the Maizuru-Wakasa Expressway.From there, the road leads to the Kita-Kinki Toyooka Expressway, which I personally consider one of the best roads in the prefecture, "R427The road to Sugihara is a long and winding road that runs from the village of Sugihara to the village of Taga.

This road is really pleasant. The distance is not that long, but the road is wide and there is little traffic. It is one of the best roads with ups and downs.Shift up to 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, then down again to 3rd and 2nd gear.

Repeating this process, they run up the pass and then continue on to the downhill.

The valve on the GT3's sport exhaust usually opens around 4000 rpm, but I recently discovered that theWhen accelerating in 4th gear or higher, the valves open at around 3,000 rpm, and a pleasant sound can be heard.

I read the GT3 instruction manual again.Press the Sport Exhaust button for optimum torque at low and mid RPMThe "I" is a good example of this. Perhaps the opening and closing of the valves is more variably controlled than one might think. With a heavy bass sound, "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!The first time I saw him, he barked, "I'm not going to be able to do this," and at the same time his back was pressed against the seatback.

It's an unbearable sensation.

My favorite road in GT3

After taking a break at the roadside station, we turned around here. I always turn back here because it is not so much fun to go further south with more houses and traffic. We always turn back here.R427Back on the "A", this time heading north to the "A", theR9Proceed to ".

."R9The "Koso" is a single-digit national highway, and as one would expect, there is a lot of traffic, but it is a pleasant, fast-paced road to drive on.

The next destination is "K89Aiming for "the best", this is the place to be.Automobile hill climb race held on closed public roads'TheKronos Kalatein Hachi-KitaI have long wanted to run this route.

The pavement is not very good for a while from the starting point, but it turns into a pleasant road halfway through. Although the distance is short, the course is enjoyable because there is little traffic. At the finish line, the trees along the side of the course are gone, and you can enjoy a nice view of the course.

Then followed by a pleasant road, "K6I headed in the direction of Oya, aiming for the "Oya Ski Resort" in the southwest of Tokyo. Oya is home to the Oya Ski Resort, which is one of my home slopes that I have frequented since I was a child. I was very excited when I saw the sign that said, "The ski resort is located in Oya.K6It is one of the most pleasant roads, although it is sometimes blocked by light trucks and other vehicles. It is one of the most pleasant roads in the area.K6from ".K48Passing through to the "Ondashi-ko" (Lake Ondashi-ko), we took a break by the lakeside of the Hikihara Dam (Lake Ondashi-ko).

Separate, GT3

After that, we went to Higashiyama in Haga Town, Shiso City (Shiso City). This is a place I often use for filming, and there is a super nice and famous road to get there. The "R29This is the road that enters from the "Yabashi" bridge intersection, but it seems to be a town road? I am not sure of the name of the road, as it seems to be a town road. However, it is a road that enters from the Tani-bashi intersection ofWide roads and vigorous winding hill climbsis followed by.

Forest Station Haga Higashiyama Onsen at the top of the passThere are also a lot of places to eat, stay overnight, and camp. There are many famous roads in Shiso City, but this is one of my favorite roads by far.

I've driven this road many times in various vehicles since I got my license.After all, GT3 is something else.The corner is a very tight one. The car turns corners as if it is going to cut into the corner. Although the limit of cornering speed cannot be tested on public roads, the car can take any corner with ease.

andTaking advantage of the RR's strong traction, the car exits corners with furious acceleration.I do. It is truly wonderful. To be honest, it is different from supercars that make up the handling performance by the initial response of the steering wheel.

After all, Porsche is a "The essential part of the car's performanceI was again impressed by the engineering focus on the "GT3". After a long day of driving and sweating in the GT3, we headed home to finish this petit touring.
