Even women want to be called "Porsche drivers"! - I went to a Porsche driving school.

My Family's Car Life

(1) Lane change

After that, it was time to train in practice. Our group started with a lane change. When I say lane change, I don't mean simply changing lanes.Lane change for emergency avoidance when a car suddenly entersIt is.

First, we get out of the car and gather to review the instructor's demonstration. Then, they are briefed on the path, car controls, and target vehicle speeds. As explained at the beginning of the classroom lecture.This program is "Precision", so we will increase precision to ensure consistent performance at all times.It is required to be

The participants were told to "gradually increase the vehicle speed, check the vehicle speed at your own timing, get as close to the target speed as possible, then let off the accelerator pedal and steer the car to change lanes." At this stage, the faces of all participants, including myself, were filled with anxiety (laughter).

That's absolutely impossible... (-_-)

The instructor also said, "We all get anxious looks at first. But it's okay, so let's give it a try anyway. lolI was told, "I'll try one first," and I did, but the first time I couldn't help but drive at a slower pace.

."Now let's gradually increase the speed!He is advised to "go for it," and he does, but this time he goes over his target speed. "Now, keep the vehicle speed steady and as close to XX km/h as possible.The next time you are advised to "drive fast," you are so focused on the speed of the car that you are late in steering the car, and you end up just short of the pylon.

Accuracy is really difficult to achieve....

And while the challenges naturally vary from participant to participantThe instructor who gives the right advice to each person each time is indeed a great instructor.I thought.(No wonder.)I am not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it is a good idea. By the way, my assignment was to write aSteering wheel operationIt was." From the instructor.

The vehicle speed is stable, so be aware of the steering wheel maneuver."You don't have to attack the inside so much (laughs), so don't be afraid to turn the wheel more widely.

I was told several times. ...Yes, this isn't Ashiu Driveway, so I didn't have to think about clipping points or anything like that (laughs).

(The same group of people went out of their way to take pictures for us, and we use many of them in our blog. Thank you!)

It took about an hour, and I must have repeated the training about 15 times. The next thing I knew, I was starting to get a sense of what it felt like to be "in the zone.Oh, now that's good!Everyone was able to experience a few runs of the "I'm a good person, I'm a good person, I'm a good person, I'm a good person," and everyone looked refreshed afterward.

I was also impressed by what the instructor said in his post-training summary.

Each of you, in your own way.Now that was good!I think they got a sense of what it is like to be a "good" player. It is important to improve the accuracy so that they can do it again and again. The only way to do this is through repetitive practice.
In addition, theThe importance of information coming in through the eyesI am sure that you could also feel the difference. Professional drivers are able to check the condition of the track surface and the car on the day of the race.Each lap, the best braking point is checked by ticking off the best braking point in 1-meter increments.The "I" is taking a series of pictures. In other words, it is like taking a series of photographs.
Of course, the eyes are looking in the direction of travel, but the timing is adjusted based on information from "signs" and "landmarks" in the peripheral vision. The accuracy will naturally vary between those who can do this in 1-meter increments and those who can do it in 50-centimeter increments. I would like to encourage everyone to be aware of this when driving on the circuit.

He said. Hearing that, he said, "Professionals are amazing... really amazing.I thought again.

  1. ground to ground

    Nice to meet you.
    I always enjoy reading your articles.
    My name is Taichi and my car is an M3.
    Thank you very much.

    The other day, my family of four traveled to Wakayama in our M3. I read on this blog that PTE was being held during the trip, and wondered if we might be staying at the same hotel. I was surprised to see two nice Porsches collaborating with each other when I looked down the parking lot from the restaurant where we had breakfast! I saw your cars when I took a walk, especially the Boxster, whose fenders seemed to symbolize the intense driving, and I was surprised to see that you had been training like this.

    We look forward to the second part.
    Please keep up the great work!

      Thank you for visiting my blog!

      A family trip with the M3, that's wonderful ^^^!

      And what a coincidence...!
      That's what happens!

      Indeed, looking down from the breakfast restaurant, you could see two Porsches (laughs).

      >I saw the cars, especially the Boxster with the fenders that symbolize the intense driving style, but I didn't know they had such training.
      The training, which I will write about in another post in the second part of this article, has turned my Boxster into a sludge ^^;
      My husband washed the car as soon as he got home.

      I hope I can continue to write a blog that you will enjoy, and I look forward to your continued support!
