Got to see the Porsche 919tribute up close and personal! @ Fuji Speedway

Porsche 919 Hybrid Tribute
My Family's Car Life

Earthquake with epicenter in northern Osaka

Yesterday, due to the earthquake centered in the northern part of Osaka, we left our children at my parents' house in Kyoto and headed home from Fuji without seeing the 919tribute's run on the Hakone Turnpike.

My parents' house was shaken up pretty bad, too.The whole family is safe, with only a few dishes broken.It was. However, my heart aches when I think of the victims and their families, and since we need to be careful about future aftershocks, I was reminded that we must not forget our awareness that we live in an earthquake-prone country.

919 tribute" is unveiled.

Last week, news circulated on the Internet that a 919 hyblid/evo was going to drive on the Hakone Turnpike. Unfortunately, I found out when I arrived at the site that it was a mistake of "919 tribute". Well, there is no way that evo will come, or even 919tribute would be great.

919tribute is a 919hybrid turned into an EV car(I only know that...)The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

And a moving 919tribute!

So, on the 17th at Fuji Speedway, I had a chance to see the 919tribute parked on the circuit up close during the grid walk, but unfortunately, there was a huge crowd.

Fuji Speedway Grid Walk

I was able to capture just a glimpse of it.

Well, we were able to see what was on display, so we decided to call it a day... Most of us went back to the Porsche Lounge, but we didn't go back and walked around the pits.

Holy crap, 919tribute is working!

As my husband set up the photo, he was able to capture the driver opening the door and driving in reverse.

A blonde, blue-eyed, good looking driver was driving. He must be an amazing guy - I looked him up but didn't know who he was. He doesn't seem to be one of the Porsche works drivers.

And the most important thing was the sound...it was an EV car, so it was still silent. It was kind of like a Prius.

About Hakone Turnpike Driving

According to twitter information, the Hakone Turnpike run on the 18th was cancelled due to rain, and only the exhibition was held.

Still, perhaps because we were apart for two days, my second daughter is clinging to me today and won't let go (laugh). Since it looks like I won't be working today, I will spend time with the children as my first priority.
