Until the day I drive a Porsche 911 GT3 vol.1- Driving to Sundabrückring

Porsche 911

GT3 to Sundabrückring

The other day we went to Ashiari Driveway on Sunday morning with GT3, and my mother-in-law was going to watch the kids until the evening, so I took her up on her offer.Sanda in GT3 in the afternoon(Sundabulklink)To go for a run toto the(Click here↓ for more information about Sundabulk Link)

I drove a 911 (964C2) on the Sundabrückring.

We left home and my husband drove first. On the way, as if to check the ride quality of the GT3, which I had almost forgotten after a month's absence, he said, "I'm going to drive it.GT3 is getting louder!"I don't remember the ride being this hard.But after driving an air-cooled car, it's so much more fun to drive it.

Then around the time we entered the Sundable Clink.There were times when the car ahead of me got stuck and I was forced to drive at a standstill.But then it occurred to me.

I guess the GT3 is good for relaxed driving too."

And.

If I were in the same situation in a Boxster GTS, I would be itching to overtake and drive.I couldn't wait to experience the Boxster's acceleration and the sound of its bursting engine.Like a hound waiting for the right moment, he was "waiting for the right moment" from beginning to end.Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...Like a state of groaning and groaning...(The analogy is hard to understand.)

GT3, on the other hand, even if it is a slow and sluggish drive, "This is the way it is. Let's relax.I would feel like "I'm not a good person. I tried telling my husband about it.

Yes, yes, yes. I feel it strangely. Is this the difference between a Boxster and a 911? Or maybe I am satisfied with the GT3 because I can hear the mechanical noise of the engine even at low speeds, so I feel like I am driving.
Previous "Race on Sunday, drive on MondayI saw the catchphrase "911 is a car that can be driven on the track or just for fun in everyday life.

It was a very strange feeling that a car with such a tremendous power of 500 horsepower could drive so leisurely and not be boring. Well, I guess...The fact that it is a manual car is also significant.I guess.

Let's drive GT3!

I was riding in the passenger seat in such a good mood, when my husband called me.

We've come all the way to Sanda in GT3, so let's switch places along the way."

I was told. Well, I guess you're right, that's what happens (-_-).

I just don'tOn the day I took delivery of my GT3, it kept stalling and wouldn't even start.I was mildly traumatized by that experience, so I decided to "go for it."If the next time I'm in a similar situation, I won't be able to recover from this.I was pretty freaked out.

However, I can't begin to say that, so I'll just say, "You know what?I'm okay with that because I've been practicing my manual driving skills lately by driving a BMW 320i every day.I said to myself, "I'm going to take over driving.

I sat down on the seat and stepped on the clutch with a nervous "I wonder if I can do it...".Huh? Was the clutch this light?I was surprised. Maybe when I drove before, I was so nervous that even this clutch felt heavy.

Then, when I tried to start the car with trepidation... I was surprised to find that it started normally, so I said to myself, "I'm going to try it again.Oh... it's done!I couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry.

...although I shouldn't be so happy just because I was able to start the car (-_-)

The 991.2 GT3 Touring is aAutomatic RPM matching even when shifting up.So, you should just keep the accelerator pedal pressed and run.(This feature can also be turned off.)I ended up pulling out the gas pedal out of my usual habit, so I was not able to take advantage of all the wonderful features, and my driving lacked smoothness from start to finish.

In addition, her husband told her that

The shifter is too hard. The GT3's shift lever goes in smoothly and smoothly even without that kind of force.

I was told that I had to do it.

When I started driving a manual car, I said, "I'm not going to drive a manual car.I meant to put it in 4th gear but put it in 2nd gear.In order to prevent this, I have been consciously trying to shift through "N" by relaxing for a moment and saying "2→N→3" or "3→N→2".

Because of this ingrained habit, the shifting operation inevitably lags a step behind.

Also, I'm not sure if I'm every going to be able to say, "I'm not going toI'm in 4th gear, should I go to 5th, or 3rd gear, should I go to 2nd and turn?and so on, so check it out.

No, that's enough, let's run as you like (-_-)

My husband was annoyed with me, but I managed to drive the GT3.

Both the GT3 and the Boxster.

I didn't get to ride the GT3 at all this time.I managed to drive the car, so I cleared the first step.I'm not sure if this GT3 is a good idea again.Quite a bit easier to drive than the 981 Boxster GTS.I felt that the clutch was very easy to use. In the case of the Boxster, the clutch is heavy and it is difficult to know where to connect, but in this respect, the 991.2 GT3 is easy to do.

I remember when you said...Until the day I can drive a Boxster.I used to write a series of articles called "The World's Most Beautiful People"......it ended right around vol 5 (lol), so I need to revive that article too.

Let's take it one step at a time, first to get the BMW, then to get the GT3, and then to get the Boxster GTS firmly in place. And for God's sake.May my husband not sell the Boxster GTS until I learn to drive it.(So please don't win the 718 Spyder frame.)

    good morning

    A fun and funny couple of good friends.
    This is a fun blog for conversation.
    Thanks for the food, WW.

    500 horsepower and torque for ease of driving.
    He said they make it even easier.
    I think.
    I almost never shift gears on public roads either.

    As you know now.
    No, but compared to bmw
    The clutch is lightweight.
    Sometimes when I drive GT3.
    respectfully yours
    You'll get used to it.

    The car is delivered today.
    If it's not raining, go to the track.
    I was planning to go, but alas ( ^ω^ )

      Thank you for everything!

      Thank you very much (laughs). We talked about cars all the time, and I realized once again that we don't usually talk like a married couple at all (laughs).

      As you say, the GT3 has so much horsepower and torque that even in a BMW you would definitely have to shift gears.
      I can afford it.

      Sorry to hear about the rain today...!
      The joy of driving a BMW on the track must be something special!
      I'm looking forward to your tweets again ^^^.

    Hi Mina.
    Sorry for the usual nosy-ness, but...

    > I would also ask, "I'm in 4th gear, should I put it in 5th, or 3rd gear, should I put it in 2nd and turn?" I would ask, "I'm in 4th gear now, should I go to 5th?

    I was wondering if there is room to check the meter while driving?

    In my daily MT driving, I use
     Whether or not to upshift depends on how far you want to use the engine rpm.
     Whether it is better to downshift (which gear to choose) is determined by the speed (speed prediction)
    I believe that this is a good idea.
     For example, let's enjoy a little acceleration by turning the engine up to about 5000 rpm, or 2500 rpm for relaxed fuel-efficient driving.
     If you are driving in 5th gear and the car in front of you slows down and your speed gradually decreases, and you are at 30 km/h, you can choose 3rd gear the next time you accelerate.
     If I am driving on a winding road that I don't know, of course I try to read the curves, but if it is a relatively well-developed prefectural road, I will always drop to second gear if I see a curve mirror.

      I see! That's easy to understand, just as you said!
      I feel like, with the BMW 320i, I can drive freely because it's my car, and I kind of know what that feels like.
      When it comes to GT3, I was completely absorbed in the "I'm driving a GT3 right now" atmosphere.
      I have a bad habit of having zero thoughts anymore...

      I think GT3 is also a matter of getting used to it, so I hope I can practice it again and again.
      However, I am sure that MT cars are much more enjoyable.
