Up Close with the Porsche 919 Tribute! @ Fuji Speedway

Earthquake Centered in Northern Osaka’s Hokusetsu Area Yesterday, due to an earthquake centered in northern Osaka’s Hokusetsu area, we left our kids at my parents’ home in Kyoto and headed straight back from Fuji without watching the 919 Tribute run on the Hakone Turnpike. My parents’ house apparently shook quite a bit, but everyone in the family was safe except for some broken dishes. Still, thinking about those who lost their lives and their families...

Heading to Porsche Experience Day Today is finally “Porsche Experience Day.” This morning, the rain from yesterday cleared up and the sun was peeking through. Alright, looking good. For this event, the one thing we absolutely didn’t want to miss was participating in the parade lap. It was limited to the first 70 cars, allowing us to drive our own Porsches around Fuji Speedway. Since registration started at 8 a.m., we left the hotel at...

After the Second Run on the Hakone Turnpike with Our Porsche Panamera…

Finally, Heading to Fuji Speedway Today is the long-awaited first day of the “Porsche Experience Day”. It’s a two-day event over the weekend, but we decided to participate tomorrow, the 17th. However, since bringing along our 4-year-old and 1-year-old was expected to be incredibly challenging, we woke up at 5 a.m. this morning to drop the girls off at my parents’ house first. Both my husband and I packed our Porsche backpacks with our gear,...

June 18 (Mon) Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo to Run on Hakone Turnpike!?

Yesterday, I came across this news article. Porsche’s 70 Years of Sports Cars: 919 Hybrid Evo to Run at Hakone → Later, AUTOCAR JAPAN updated the article correcting the vehicle name to “919 tribute.” The 919 Hybrid is a prototype racing car developed by Porsche in 2014 to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It won Le Mans three times and showed incredible performance in the...

I Want to Buy It Myself. The other day, a car-loving friend from my university days, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, said this to me: “I saw your blog! But I didn’t quite get it when you wrote about aiming to buy another Panamera yourself, even though you’re already riding in one… Like, your husband bought it for you, so why do you still have a goal to buy one on your own?...

Can Porsche Continue to Excel at “Driving, Cornering, and Stopping”?

I Went for an Interview! The other day, I visited a company in Kyoto that sells, services, and repairs foreign cars. They handle many foreign brands like Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, covering everything from classic cars to the latest models. This time, I interviewed Mr. M, the son of the company’s founder. (The interview content will be published in a future article.) What’s the Car You Want Most? Mr. M is also a former...

What Only a Personal Blogger, Not a Motor Journalist, Can Write

*The top image is just a photo of a Panamera I happened to take today at Gusto, and it has nothing to do with the article content lol Don’t you write about anything other than Porsche? The other day, when I showed my blog to an acquaintance, they asked me, “Don’t you write about cars other than Porsche?” That question made me think again, but for now, I have no intention of writing about anything...

Visited the Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair! Inside the showroom and novelty goods.

Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair Yesterday, I went to the “Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair” held at the Porsche Center. It was also a good chance to get an oil change before heading to Fuji Speedway on June 16th and 17th. (I plan to write a separate article later about the oil change cost and details.) And honestly, I also wanted the novelty luncheon mat (lol). *Source: Porsche 70th Anniversary page I was planning to go alone...

Our Daily Conversations as a Car-Loving Couple Are a Bit Crazy, After All

About My Husband’s and My Personality Suddenly, but… I’m the type who thinks “It’s fine as long as I roughly understand things.” I’m satisfied with about 60% understanding, and since I get bored easily, I tend to go wide and shallow on everything. Also, when I buy electronics, I almost never read the manuals. Reading thick manuals is just too much hassle (plus, I’m not great with printed text to begin with), and I figure...
