ニュルブルクリンクNLS3参戦して帰国しました。

今回ニュルデビューの2人をアテンドしました😊

18日火曜日に成田空港を出発→18日夕方フランクフルト国際空港到着してニュルブルクリンクの宿へ🚗

ニュルブルク城オーナーが経営する宿に宿泊です😊

翌日水曜日は観光日

先ずはミハエルシューマッハカートセンターへ

かなりテクニカルなコースで川合孝汰選手と桝本選手はスーパーバトル20分でヘロヘロに🤣

その後ケルン大聖堂へ

トレーニング兼ねて螺旋階段130メートル上まで上がってもらいました🤣🤣🤣

降りて来たら膝プルプル🤣

ケルン大聖堂の中も見学してドイツの素晴らしい建築を実感し、ドラッヘンブルグ城へ😊

そしてニュルブルクリンク宿でまったりしてるとまさかのクレイジーな2人がまたミハエルシューマッハカートセンターへ行きたいと言い出して夜またミハエルシューマッハカートセンターへ💦💦

クレイジー過ぎる💦💦💦

翌日木曜日はシューマッハが乗った歴代F1が展示してある場所を観光して夕方からパーミット学科講習を😊

そして金曜日グリーンヘル16周パーミット実技😊

パーミット実技は朝から13時までに16周ノルドシュライフェを走る過酷な実技です😊

ノルドシュライフェの過酷さを知らない2人は、終わった後遊びに行く気満々でしたが実技から戻って来たら合格証もらってニコニコでしたが疲れ切ってダウン寸前で私は爆笑🤣

そして翌日土曜日NLS3レース😊

朝から霧で予選なかなか始まらない💦

これぞアイフェルの夏💦

だいぶ遅れて予選スタート！

私がファーストドライバーでグランプリコースを2周走ってタイヤ温めてから1周アタック！

路面はウェット😊

次に桝本選手予選1周！

路面は乾きドライに😊

その後川合孝汰選手予選1周！

2人がドライで走れて良かった💦

決勝レースはスタートクラッシュ続出すると思いニュルに慣れた私がスタートドライバーを、思った通りスタート直後前で多重クラッシュ😱

クラッシュをすり抜けて無事6周走り桝本選手へチェンジ、安定した走りで7周し、川合孝汰選手チェッカードライバー、日本のレーシングドライバーはニュルで行き過ぎてクラッシュする人が多いと現地チームから聞いていたので、アテンドしてる私がハラハラしながらモニターチェック！ところが川合孝汰選手も安定した走りで無理をせずに無事チェッカー😊

デビュー戦、ノークラッシュ、クラス7位で最高なレースと言って良い👍

I came back to Japan after participating in the Nürburgring NLS3.

This time I attended two people who were making their Nürburgring debut 😊

We left Narita Airport on Tuesday the 18th → arrived at Frankfurt International Airport in the evening of the 18th and went to a hotel at the Nürburgring 🚗

We stayed at a hotel run by the owner of Nürburg Castle 😊

The next day, Wednesday, was a sightseeing day

First, we went to the Michael Schumacher Kart Center

On a very technical course, Kawai Kota and Masumoto were exhausted after 20 minutes of super battle 🤣

After that, we went to Cologne Cathedral

As training, we had them go up the spiral staircase 130 meters up 🤣🤣🤣

When they came down, their knees were shaking 🤣

We also toured inside Cologne Cathedral and experienced the wonderful architecture of Germany, then went to Drachenburg Castle 😊

Then, while we were relaxing at the Nürburgring hotel, the two crazy people unexpectedly came to Michael Schumacher again He said he wanted to go to the Michael Schumacher Kart Center, so we went to the Michael Schumacher Kart Center again at night💦💦

Too crazy💦💦💦

The next day, Thursday, we visited the place where the F1 cars that Schumacher drove are on display, and in the evening, we had a permit theory course😊

Then on Friday, we had a 16-lap permit practical in the Green Hell😊

The permit practical is a tough practical where you drive 16 laps on the Nordschleife from morning until 1pm😊

The two of them, who didn't know how tough the Nordschleife is, were full of plans to go play after it was over, but when they came back from the practical, they got their pass certificates and were smiling, but they were so exhausted they were on the verge of collapsing, so I burst out laughing🤣

Then the next day, Saturday, the NLS3 race😊

It was foggy from the morning, so the qualifying didn't start for a while💦

This is the summer of the Eifel💦

The qualifying started quite late!

I was the first driver, so I drove two laps on the Grand Prix course to warm up the tires, and then attacked for one lap!

The road surface was wet😊

Next, Masumoto did one lap of qualifying!

The road surface dried up and became dry😊

After that, Kawai Kota completed one qualifying lap!

I'm glad that the two of them were able to drive in dry conditions💦

I thought there would be a lot of crashes at the start of the final race, so I was the starting driver, and as I expected, there was a multiple crash just before the start😱

We managed to get through the crashes and safely completed six laps, then switched to Masumoto, who drove steadily for seven laps, and Kawai Kota was the checkered driver. I had heard from the local team that many Japanese racing drivers go too far at Nürburgring and crash, so I nervously checked the monitor as I was attending! However, Kawai Kota also drove steadily and safely without pushing himself😊

It was a great race, with no crashes and 7th place in the class👍
