Full Throttle in a Boxster! The Full-Throttle Challenge

The Full-Throttle Challenge I’ve been sharing stories from the Porsche Track Experience (PTE) in Shirahama, and for the grand finale, everyone took part in a 400-meter full-throttle challenge. 女性だって「ポルシェ乗り」と言われたい！ – ポルシェのドライビングスクールに行ってきた The regular Porsche Track Experience (PTE) at Fuji Speedway doesn’t include this challenge. It’s a program that’s only possible at a former airport with a runway about two kilometers long. I heard that some participants chose the Shirahama PTE specifically because it offered a...

I Thought I Knew Porsche—What I Learned at a Porsche Driving School

The J-Turn The other day, I shared the first half of my article about taking part in the Porsche Track Experience (PTE) in our Boxster (the morning program). Today, I’d like to tell you about the second half (part of the afternoon program). 女性だって「ポルシェ乗り」と言われたい！ – ポルシェのドライビングスクールに行ってきた The first exercise of the afternoon was the “J-turn.” I’d never heard of one before, so I couldn’t picture what it involved. A quick online search told me it...

How Did He Turn His Wife Into a Car Enthusiast? I’m Going to Piece It Together

She Wasn’t Always Into Cars When my husband and I go to car events or take a drive on the Royu Driveway, we often get chatting with other enthusiasts. The conversation sometimes turns to, “It’s great that you can enjoy cars together as a couple,” followed by, “Was your wife always into cars?” My answer is, “Not at all. I barely knew anything about cars. I knew what a Prius was, but that was about...

Women Can Be Porsche Drivers, Too! My Day at a Porsche Driving School

Porsche Track Experience The other day, I took my Boxster GTS with a manual transmission to the Porsche Track Experience (PTE), held at the former Nanki-Shirahama Airport in Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture. I signed up for the Precision course, a full-day program running from 8:15 a.m. to 5:20 p.m. Since the day started early, I arrived the night before. My main concern was the weather—but this time, the rain that began the previous evening had stopped...

What I Learned About the Boxster’s Appeal on a 180 km Drive to Shirahama

Driving the Boxster to Wakayama The other day, I drove the Boxster from home to Shirahama to take part in the Porsche Track Experience, held at the former Nanki-Shirahama Airport site in Wakayama Prefecture. My husband and the kids went in the Panamera. The drive from home to Shirahama is about 180 km. The day before, I ran into some of the other moms from my daughter’s kindergarten. When they said, “You said you’re heading...

Mastering the Porsche Boxster: A Top-Down Drive Through the Autumn Leaves!

Practicing My Boxster Driving I was starting to feel a little nervous about taking the Porsche Track Experience (PTE) in my Boxster, especially since I only got to drive it about once every two months. Luckily, someone was able to look after the kids one weekday evening, giving me about two hours to practice driving the Boxster. I was thrilled—but then I realized that whenever I’d driven the Boxster before, either my husband had been...

What Cars Has My Husband Been Eyeing Lately? I Got the Full Story!

The Cars My Husband Has His Eye On A little while ago, my husband and I were talking about how “the Panamera’s inspection is due next year, so we’ll need to start thinking about what to replace it with around then.” He mentioned, “I’d like to try a base Panamera, and I’m curious about the facelifted Panamera (not yet announced), too. But if we’re looking at that, maybe a Taycan could work as well.” 夫がパナメーラの乗り換えを考え始めた...
