Finally, we went to Fuji Speedway.

Today, the long-awaitedPorsche Experience Day."It's the first day of the "MARCH 2012". The event is held over two days, Saturday and Sunday, and we decided to attend tomorrow, the 17th. However, we knew it would be extremely difficult with a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old in tow, so we woke up at 5:00 a.m. this morning and headed to my parents' house to drop off my daughters. The couple packed their Porsche backpacks and

...but I think you and your wife are over-enthusiastic (-_-).

Gas tank full, car washed and shined, engine oil level is fine, and off we go!

Departure in Panamera under clear skies

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Kansai today.

(Taken in front of my parents' house. It's so sunny!)

Actually, I went to Fuji Speedway last October to see the WEC.The race was stopped after being red-flagged due to thick fog, and the Hakone Turnpike was not as smooth as expected due to thick fog, and of course, not a single millimeter of Mt.So I drove off in the car with high hopes of getting my revenge today! I drove away with great anticipation.

By the way, I wrote about last year in this article.

So, after leaving my daughters at home, I decided to head straight for the Hakone Turnpike...to my surprise, the weather had been fine up to the halfway point, but after passing Hamamatsu, the clouds gradually began to look a little grim.

That, this patter is very bad...(-_-)

And when we came to the front of the Hakone Turnpike, as expected, it was quite foggy.

I knew it...(cry) to my husband.

I don't know why this happens when we come together. If I came touring alone, I would never have such bad weather.

I was told with a dumbfounded look on my face. ...I'm sorry, I have no words to return.

We had come all the way from Kansai, a six-hour drive, but we had no choice. Even if we took the Hakone Turnpike to the top, we would not be able to drive as far as we wanted because of the thick fog, so we decided to look for another driveway. My husband was watching a live video of various driveways.The Nishi-Izu Skyline still looks good!"So, we decided to move the car south in a hurry.

Nishi-Izu Skyline

On the way to the Nishi-Izu Skyline, my husband was

The Nishi-Izu Skyline is my favorite road I've ever driven on. It doesn't matter if it's not sunny, it would be nice to at least be able to drive it while taking in the scenery.

He said. I see, it's such a beautiful road. Please, I won't ask for the luxury of clear skies, so at least let's hope the view is clear...

We drove for an hour, half praying for the weather to improve. The weather was fine at the base of the mountain, but as we gained altitude, the atmosphere gradually became more and more unpleasant.

Oh man... this feels very bad... and then a minute later, it's in this state.

Noooooooom!(Dense fog)

...I can't even see a meter ahead anymore.

I pulled over, relying on the "P" marker that I could see in Karoji, and my husband laughed past his dismay at the quirk. And then.

Well...when you went to Germany, you couldn't see Neuschwanstein Castle because of thick fog, you couldn't understand the Aoyama Plateau because of thick fog, the WEC race last year was canceled because of thick fog, and you went to see the Northern Lights twice and couldn't see it both times, right? And today, this thick fog...She's more of a fog lady than a rain lady!

I was just like you said. You are absolutely right. She is more like a "fog lady" than a "rain lady. My husband continued.

I mean, maneuvers and maneuvers! I can't help but think I'm being maneuvered!
*Maneuver...A defensive spell in the Dragon Quest series. It wraps a group of enemies in a phantom and reduces the hit rate of their blows.

And...I don't know what it is, but "manusaWe were both so amused by the "tsubo" that we couldn't stop laughing from there, and in a good way, we gave up and eventually decided to stop running and head back to the hotel.

Join the Porsche Parade Run!

We are going home on Monday the 18th, but the 919 Hybrid Tribute will be chartered to run on the Hakone Turnpike, so we can no longer run on the Hakone Turnpike and(And heavy rain is forecast for Monday)And if I couldn't run in tomorrow's circuit parade run for the first 70 people, I wouldn't know what I was doing here.I'll head over to Fuji Speedway tomorrow to be there by 7:00am, and I'll make sure I'm among the first 70 to arrive!

Yay! (Holy shit!)

But it's okay because I was able to get some nice photos of the Panamera because of the fog.
