Realization of a dream
The Renault birth centennial, a Michelin
BIVA centennial, the 50th anniversary of the Honda birth, and I will also
celebrate the 50th anniversary of birth next year. Although anything is
unrelated, the report which realized the F1 650H.P. drive only [ whose ] was the
dream after visiting the France AGS team made to drive, and my having served
since the graduation from a Jim Russel International racing school in 1972 F1 in
the world will be introduced in 1998 using a late summer vacation.
About AGS F1 team of , it knew with the report of the foreign journalist of a certain F1 informational magazine at the time two years ago (1996). instantly -- connection -- also taking -- the address and the telephone were unfamiliar, when given up no connection and the middle, there is an opportunity to go France in December, 97, I had the friend of a spot investigate by carrying out of searching that, and AGS F 1 team and contact were able to be taken However, the operating start was a thing from April, 98 because of the off-season. The spur started embodiment of the F1 drive given up halfway, it exchanged several times after the homecoming, and connection of "October 6, F1 drive acceptance, and O.K." was received by the end of this year (April, 98).
AGSF1 team of marched out 1983F1,
and Ivan Capelli, Pascal Pabre, and Roberto Moreno drove them, and they
obtained the 6th place of the first point of winning a prize by Australia GP in
1987. Gabriele Tarquini won the 6th place of winning a prize in Mexico GP in
1989. The Cyril Louvre which is the entrepreneur of France after that bought
AGS, and the team could not leave the results which build a factory and a
circuit at gonfaron of the Provence district in South France, move headquarters,
and continue Formula 1 race activity , but withdrew 1992F1 participation in the
war.
however, the passion of owner, Director Jean Luc Poe, or staff-- "RACING
DRIVER FOR A DAY" and -- there is nothing, and an adherent is opened and F1
machine is made to drive from the inside of the world
It leaves if compelled.
Narita Airport was left on
October 1 and it went to Paris straight. It is the beginning of realization of a
dream after this. It became around 6:00 p.m. on October 1 of local time to have
arrived in back Charles de Gaulle Airport of the air route of 11 hours in
arrival and the hotel in Paris. We decided to go to a nearby pair instantly, to
purchase cheap wine and a cheap bucket, to return to the room of a hotel, and to
elaborate the plan for ten days.
October 5 three days after
and the domestic flight AOM opportunity aimed at the hotel of the 50km beyond
which borrowed compact Fiat of compact size to the Toulon airport 450km
southeast at the window of the HEAT rental car after arrival, and had AGS
introduction straight to it from Paris in Paris. Although it was the place at
which it should arrive if it is original and is also for 1 hour, after about
40km wavered first around an airport, past [ after 2 hours and a half / 5:00
p.m. ] arrived at the town of the rucksack which arrives at the interchange of
an auto route at last, and has a hotel. Unluckily, as for the weather, bad, the
hit was dark quickly, and the schedule of the preliminary inspection of
tomorrow's planned course stopped, finished the meal, and went into the bed
around 10:00 the beginning.
Although it occurs early in the morning today, and it rides
on a domestic flight, and it sleeps immediately since it was movement by rental
car, and one day which does not get used to become, it does not stick to sleep
easily. however, one's spectacle -- when .. was imagined, it became impossible
to sleep increasingly [ who grasps tomorrow's steering of F1 on the contrary /
efforts to close an eye and sleep ] In the meantime, thunder was echoed with
intense rain. It had passed over 2:00 a.m. which look at a clock and which will
be rich. Tomorrow's course became anxious with whether it becomes wet. Surely,
if you have not heard the mind currently prepared, and only this is strong and
it rains from .. and the climate of Europe, 5 - 6 hours after, it will become in
many cases fine, and it is in expecting recovery of the weather , such as REIN
tire etc. .. While carrying out, it said sleep.
丂
The day which came at last and
which F1 drives
2 - 3-hour place -- when
it slept or had noticed, it was in 6:00 in the morning of October 6 Worried rain
is illegal fine. Since preliminary inspection the previous day was not made,
still, the neighborhood made beginning preparations dark inside and left the
hotel aiming at AGSF1. It was still already at 8:00 of a meeting time, and
arrived at 7:00. If it is waiting in the car, Porsche and the sport[ BMW and
]-like car will have gathered with the exhaust sound which rode on the rhythm.
It seems to be the member of F1 drive participation today. Registration time
came. My F1 drive courses are F3, 25 laps, and F1 and 15 laps. It showed around
after that at the locker room.
It is entering a name,
although a helmet, a glove, wear, shoes, and the face mask are prepared and it
is a disposable piece-of-Velcro-type type moreover at wear as size connection
had been carried out in advance than Japan. A supervisor speaks in the place
which finished spare clothing, and I had guided the factory . Although there was
nothing up to a carbon booth, as race activity was carried out completely till
yesterday, in a wall, spare cowling of F1 is shirring and a press again.. The
work instrument was located in a line and F1, F3, and C car were tidily located
in a line. It treated itself to the commemorative photo in front of the number 5
which is F1 which obtains comprehension and I drive today.
It showed around in the place in
which the attendance student gathered at briefing room, and introduction of
today's participating driver started first. France Two persons Germany Five
persons, Poland They were two persons and a total of ten persons of mine who are
Japanese of participation for the first time.
丂
First of all, it is from F3
Then, operation of the
fundamental performance of the Opel Lotus F3 driven during the morning and a
cockpit, course explanation of a rucksack circuit, and notes were
received by briefing room. The feature of line
of the course given previously, a shift
position, a braking point, and a corner etc. was explained again, having ridden
on the van and carrying out a course 3 round with instructor's roux, after that.
For rain last night, still, especially a road surface is in the state of a half
sentiment, and the state of today's course condition had [ it being careful
enough and driving and ] explanation. Moreover, it returned to briefing room and
there was time of questions and answers.
Then, it was able to
ask [ notes / having understood old explanation and ] for the sign each one
about keep responsibility. And it was also added that the accident at the
time of having not followed notes and running notes did not withdraw insurance
money. And it moved to the course for the
F3 drive.
Five F3 was already prepared for
the course side. The schedule which a drive is divided into two groups of every
five persons, and is made into 10 rounds 15 round was told. The five remaining
persons including 10 rounds and me took [ five persons ] 10 round first.
Instructor received indication about each one of important matters, and the
drive for every remaining 15 weeks started again. five sets started at the fixed
interval -- it is also -- while running 15 round, the difference of speed is
Since the partner also gathered speed as soon as I also caught up with the
preceding car, I also raised the pace. two sets of ours -- a tail two -- it is
the place which ran two laps in the state of nose, and the place out of which
the maximum high speed of the last corner this side comes and which started
being straight, and caught up with one set which is running the front
It became the organization naturally passed and became the organization which I
also pass after the preceding car passes. It is safer to have not separated with
the preceding car in such a state, but to pass together. The preceding car
carried out the path start, will give up, and I will continue [ I will also be
united and ]. The preceding car started extracting from a partner's left. I also
continued. The preceding car was located in a line with the partner vehicle. The
partner vehicle has visited the left then exactly. The former has noticed the
act and was avoided on the left. The wheel and the wheel had only 5cm grade. A
partner notices at last and slows down. Although the preceding car was good
until it avoided it on the left, as it is, course out is carried out to left
green, and it runs in it. In the intention which passes my body following the
preceding car, and one side, the field of view had acquired the information on a
dangerous occurrence simultaneously.
And I am beginning to pass and react from the right as for which the course was
vacant. However, that time "this is not a race. If an accident occurs here,
it cannot ride on F1 of an afternoon. Although a careless act does not remember
that instructor's advice does not withdraw insurance money .." and
necessarily not being judged calmly, I slowed down and stopped following the
partner car which slowed down. The preceding car cannot finish reducing
speed which goes green straight on after that, and go to the last corner. Did
the driver of the preceding car probably hurry the course return? As soon as it
returned to the course, balance was broken down, the course was crossed, it went
into the green by the side of opposite, the spin was carried out twice, and it
stopped at last.
If I had passed the partner vehicle from the right, it had become the timing
which collides with the preceding car exactly. "It was good." The
drive was continued remainder 5 round and the run during the morning was
finished.
The launch moved to the restaurant in a course side, surrounded a participant, a supervisor, and instructor, and rose by discussion of F3 run. After that, five persons of drive hope of only F3 returned, and five persons of F1 drive remained.
丂
The F1 drive seen in the dream
Five persons of F1 drive group
gathered for briefing room in the afternoon. The atmosphere in instructor and
five persons' morning had changed suddenly. First, it is about the difference
between F3 and F1.. It was given about Ford and V8.3 l., 650H.P., 6 th,
operation of a clutch, and operation of a brake. That it is careful in order not
to demonstrate braking power enough until especially a carbon brake has heat,
and avoiding sudden braking from the beginning were told repeatedly. of course
-- 5 of F3 -- prompt -- it changed to 6th of F1, the breaking point and shift
position of each corner also changed, and a duty of 2nd was imposed again at the
time of dispatch It was bewildered by the change of the head for a while for a
short time.
Explanation is French and English and, of course, I have to understand in
English. An understanding was completed somehow. And like F3, having carried out
the sign of a degree-of-comprehension check, having got in the van, and
listening to explanation of a shift, a brake, and a line, the course was carried
out 2 round and it arrived at the pit. The weather was fine and the course had
become dry condition from the half sentiment in the morning completely. After a
while, with the explosion, three sets of AGSF(s)1 carried out course in, and
they began the sun rise. the bottom of a blue sky in South France, and a tail
two -- the scene which passes through a pit front by nose is just with Formula 1
race !
Whenever [ to which F1 passes through a pit ] "650H.P., 280km [ .. It
became uneasy suddenly. ] .. It can drive directly sure enough.. A run at the
pit running speed of a Formula 1 race scene is kana as hard as possible at most.
the drive of F1 -- beforehand out of 3, 5, and 10 or 15 rounds -- the number of
times of hope -- reserving -- almost all friends -- 3 - 5 rounds -- it is
also -- only I was 15 rounds And one person drives at a time.
I was able to tell
driving to the 2nd. The 1st and the 2nd I had [ it being called by the
supervisor and fitting in a cockpit, and ] directions. It fitted in the cockpit,
and first, the mechanic adjusted the sheet position and gave the seat belt of
Sabert in total. And it equipped with the steering wheel. that is right -- this
is F1 machine Preparation still continues. A mechanic makes F1 get mixed up, and
I unite with a rhythm and am practice of shift operation. It repeated several
times with 2-3-4-5-6th and 6-5-4-3-2nd. among those,
it was alike and previous uneasiness was lost to somewhere The 1st driver has
returned to the pit.
When it got down from the machine, the step was unsteady, and
I watched calmly the face raised when he removed the helmet by the side glance.
It is my course in still more.
From now on, 15 rounds
is "F1 driver." A face mask is stuck, it is covered with a helmet, the
glove in which the belt of a helmet is fastened is stuck, a neutral is checked,
and visor is lowered. Breathing is stopped for a moment, a right arm is
improved, and an index finger is lengthened. The switch of an air starter
mechanically twisted at the moment was turned on on, and fire went into engine
simultaneously with a cranking. Racing is carried out about 5 times. F1 sound
plays. It shifts to 2nd with the both hands with which
a clutch is cut. And according to directions of instructor, accelerator
treading-in rotation was raised just like the violinist who performs according
to the conductor of orchestra. Only only 3mm of clutch meat points which are not
was looked for.
The machine departed so smoothly that it is not believed, and
made the pit load behind. 5 rounds of the beginning escaped also from the corner
from which devotes in a worm run and it can escape by
6th by 5th, and drove the line, the brake, and the
shift in the body. At the moment of having escaped from the last corner and
going into 6 lap eye, it put on its rhythm. Whenever it piles up a lap, power
(Ford V8, 3l., and 650H.P.) has played F1 sound from the back of a sheet. It is
just Heaven.
It is the world which it
escapes from a stand front by 5th, one corner is dropped on 3th, and
it escapes from a corner by 3thonly of a right turn and breaking, it
accelerates, is before penetration 4 corner penetration only of a
breaking at S corner
at 4th, escapes from 4-5th, acceleration, and 5 corner by 5th after that to 3 th,
goes into the back straight of the last corner this side, is born to 5th by full
throttle, 6th-- It amounts to 280km for a moment. The last corner is imminent in
an instant. It drops and escapes to 6-5-4-3th. A shift rise is carried out with
3-4-5th after that, and it passes through a stand front by 5th
full throttle. Whenever it repeated the circumference,
himself who is running rhythmically was seen. The sign of a run end came out
from the pit. It passed 15 round in the twinkling of an eye.
It left the thought which has not run enough still more, and
cooling-down of the last 1 round was carried out, and it was driven. Completely,
F1 driver did the race end and feeling which is carrying out the winning run was
enjoyed fully. A neutral and ignition were turned OFF, and it ran the pit load
calmly from habit, returned to the pit, and stopped calmly. The mechanic removed
the belt, and I removed the steering wheel, got down from the machine, and took
the helmet and the mask. It was able to ask for a "perfect game" and
handshaking from instructor at the moment. It became the end of
"realization of dream" F1 drive.
Moreover, I want to ride.
It gathered in the briefing room
after F1 drive run. From Director Jean Lewis Poe, hands were shaken by handing a
run certificate and a commemorative photo, receiving comment in five persons who
drove F1 about driving, respectively. Finally a toast was given with champagne
with all staff, and it became in the end of "RACING DRIVER FOR A DAY."

The days which do not settle in
not passing yet half a year, either continue. That F1 drive scene was remembered
and the F1 drive was planned again. We decided to participate in "RACING
DRIVER FOR A DAY" which takes contact on the AGS team instantly and is held
on July 5 (1999).It introduces as a report (2).
When it becomes the second
time unlike last time, the point is also understood and there are quite few
worries. After passing the 50th birthday in Paris. In quest of the ticket of the
Toulon airport going, it shows up in the Boeing at the Orly South airport of a
domestic flight, and is 1-hour and half back arrival. It was asked [ whether
"whether reservation to have been carried out" from the person in
charge, and ] when it told borrowing the same compact car as last time aiming at
a Hertz rental car window instantly. a thing that there are not a place which
naturally answered "although there is no reservation ..", and a car
now lent for the season of a vacation It was absent-minded. And it carried out
to Budget at the next window. When asked having the uneasiness which says a
rental car if there are no loans, "O.K." and the reply came. You also
recommend you a planned trip.
Ford who did the hotel
finger instantly and borrowed, and KA aimed at the town of a rucksack straight.
on the way -- although its way was lost about twice, while it has a margin to
look at a surrounding vineyard -- 1 hour -- just for a moment -- coming out -- a
hotel -- arrival 2 hours and a half which started last time would be what. When
visiting once well also at home in 1, at least it wavers. For stay since before
half a year, madam remembers and greeted pleasantly. Since the time which did
not need the preliminary inspection of tomorrow's course this time, either, and
arrived was also early, a walk was taken in the yard of a hotel. Except that the
yard has two buildings and pool of the main building of a hotel-cum-a
restaurant, and a cottage hotel in 7000噓,
the surroundings are a place called a wood. He walked along the alley, enjoying
chirping of a green scent and a bird fully.
The place which can pass a vacation if it is staying for a while as it is. I am
the free traveler of one night today. If it does not ride on F1, of course, it
becomes the calculation which can be passed for the time being. It is a place to
already come slowly at once in a lifetime.

F1 drive that day
Sleep was able to be taken
enough yesterday. this [ which drinks a vitamin compound / which was mistaken ]
which settles down, comes out of a bed, puts on jeans, and washes a face, which
brushes its teeth, which shaves a mustache is cold medicine -- if this unsavory
medicine is taken 3 times per day, medicine will be effective for 6 hours
Supposing it is 6:00 now, it will be effective during the morning. F3 in the
morning is not done carefully -- if It is in order that the last F1 drive may
become such an end. Was perfect until now. I
will forget this which will be passed lightly .. Breakfast is taken on the
terrace of a hotel.
In fact, it is it is necessary why to go out early so much
and that madam reaches in 15 minutes up to a circuit although breakfast was
refused for F1 drive that day. The face which seems to be wonderful was carried
out and a meal is taken forcibly. The menu of a meal is the homemade jam and
a cafe au lait, besides madam
homemade to French bread, of course, orange juice, and milk. Very much , the
meal taken in the wind of South Provence .
丂
It arrives at a circuit.
Ford KA was driven about 20
minutes from the hotel, and introduction of a greeting and the Patrick GA 傝
yell of today's instructor was received in Marian on an
arrival receptionist in the rucksack circuit. It is a thing with a taking-charge
[ although Director Lu originally does / as F1 instructor ]-on vacation thing
since he is absent. Moreover, it is an all the members French object this time,
and is a thing that Patrick is English about explanation at me specially. It
spoke to the France people so that it might gather to a briefing room for
explanation of F3. With Patrick, I will be guided in Director Lu's private room,
and will be given by man to man.
The meaning which Marian of a receptionist said and which was
said for you to be "lucky" was understood at last. Things receiving
direct explanation from former F1 driver .. It is the flow with which uses as a
board first in a front [ figure / course / of a look ], and describes about the
contents of a run of F3, and notes, and Patrick supplements about it. It was
carried out following the occasion also about F1. It chatted by presenting 1l.
Volvic and a croissant after that. The Le Mans company let Patrick in Japan hear
about having participated in F2, and it having been former F1 pilot in 1978.
becoming 1977 age F1 racer, though regrettable -- giving up
-- the persons concerned and all information -- it was not interested in the
domestic motor sports , and there was no knowledge However, it was very lucky
about being given by Patrick, former F1 pilot, by man to man. It went to the
course by the minivan after explanation, and was given [ of the important matter
on a run of F3 and F1 ]. It waited for the France people which received
explanation of F3 after that in the pit. After a while, all the members gathered
in the pit, separated in two groups like last time, drove with 10 rounds and 15
rounds, and became lunch.
Patrick Gaillard-- 78 years -- the [ F2 champion
series ] -- record of the 4th place by Chevron, Aeroflot, (Le Mans company) in
the Suzuka great 20 driver's race and 79 years went back the person who left the
results of the 13th place in F1 run Britain GP by Ensain , and it knew by the
Internet
丂
The 2nd F1 drive
Mechanics' F1 dance of warming-up starts as well as last
time, and the beat of my breast began to increase. I was nominated as the first
driver in the member, I was settled in the cockpit, raised the right hand after
a preparation end, lengthened the index finger and rotated. The mechanism turned
on the starter switch and 3l. of F1 sounds was sounded after [ V6 ] the
cranking. After 3 times racing, with both hands, it shifts to 2 懍 and
a clutch meat is carried out. An engine stole is failed and carried out. It
seems that gas has been made to wear somehow although tried again calmly. The
gas by which the mechanism removed and wore cowl was removed. Cylinders are
exchanged and it tries again. The engine started.
It is carefully shortly.. A meat point is looked for by the
left leg so that rotation may not be raised too much. It is start. One corner
which carried out the course in of the pit to behind smoothly takes a line
almost straight S characters the surroundings by the half throttle at 3th
with 2nd, and drops it on 4th in
the next left corner this side at 3th, and after penetration and passage is
accelerated, and it escapes from a full breaking in the next right corner this
side, it escapes ,speedy from 偨 4, 5th, a shift up,
and a high-speed corner at a corner, and they are 6th and
It slows down in an quikly with 6, 5, and 4, 3th for last
corner, and a breaking, and passage and one corner are 3th in
acceleration and 5th to the grandstand after
corner escape .. The feeling in front of half a year returns, and it began to
become good touch.
There are directions of pit in in the place it ran 7th round,
it went into the pit, and advice was received. If the Breaking of the last
corner this side is sweet If braking U is sweet in the place which carries out
sudden braking after gathering the maximum high speed and it 傕 a
little, you have to carry out the cornering of here exceeding a limit. When
turned round, there was the time dangerous 1 or twice. If the operation at the
time of a brake is not not heel heel and toe but toe and heel with a
problem and instruction as the solution method, it is a thing that the treading
strength at the time of braking is insufficient. The pit was made into behind
and the 8 remaining rounds were driven. And the F1 drive of 15 rounds finished.
It returned to the pit, the last reverberation was impressed in the body, and it
got down from the cockpit.
The F1 drive which is not made
into the last
It turns round and there is no
result of an engine stole in a conviction line as itself. I will form a plan to
drive F1 once again.

The decision of the 3rd F1 drive
It
is decision when the 2nd drive
finishes last year. It fails in only 5mm clutch meat at the time of the start of
F1 drive, and is an engine stole. GAS is made to wear and it has been made to
remove to rearcowl by a mekanick by failure of accelerator
work which acts as a cranking
again. It was the start which is not satisfactory. Moreover, I will drive.
Finish an application
to AGS at the beginning of this year. Connection of the drive schedule on August
4 was received, and the travel plan for France was formed instantly.
This time, for the vacation midst of France, although
it was used, the ticket and rental car of a domestic flight finished reservation
in Japan.
丂
It leaves for the trip of the 3rd F1 driving.
丂It arrives in Paris Ch. de Gaulle Airport as planned. Wine was drunk safely in the hotel and the plan on the 3day to domestic movement of F1 driving was formed in Paris. worship of the monument of a Levassor which rides on the balloon which it has also in the Andre Citroen park in tormer site Citroen factory which commemorated 2000, and the hunt of God's in the Renault showroom in Champs-Elysees -- it goes to MICHLIN too and goods are seen
丂
For three days of Paris
丂Except the Renault showroom (under modification) in Champs-Elysees, three days were passed as planned. It was the scene of a winners' platform where the barricade cello of F1 Hungary GP11 game is wailing, and TV program of Concorde plane crash investigation that was impressive. TV office called EUROSPORT of France was broadcast on the 3rd.

It is among an uncommon way until it reaches

boarding and a TURON airport -- arriving -- a reserved compact rental car
"Citroen" -- borrowing -- one way route A57
丂The 2nd time, although it
was able to ride on the highway smoothly, if it notices, it will run not toward
north but toward an east. A U-turn was made, and to the airport, it returned and
was drawn.
丂the high-speed interchange exit which should regain the
lost time -- the destination -- last-minute -- setting up -- a run
丂It is a toll road. First
experience. Although it was good until it received the automatic ticket, it
became anxious about what it pays and carries out at an exit.
The exit was not uninhabited but a woman. It feels
relieved and is to a hotel. Tomorrow's weather is checked .After it is
goodnight slowly.
still more -- F1 -- he goes out
for a team instantly.
丂It
arrives 15 minutes before 8:00 a.m. set. It had changed considerably with last
year. The main gate is reapplied and F3 lotus is a new car. The color ring of a
machine is also renewed. The Patrick Gaillard which carried out
of me by exclusive duty last year was residing permanently not from the
extraordinary instructor of a vacation but from this year.
this participating member
-- me -- except -- all -- 11 persons of ten French persons and me -- it is
.
An instruction is received
from former F1 driver by man to man
It parted from other friends
like last year, went to the course, and was given by Patrick. First, review of
the thing last year. Memory has revived little by little. When a full brake and
here had a full braking's small treading strength the More More throttle and
last year, received indication from 5th and
here here. It appeals against its weak point, and memory is called and sent.
F3 is taken and a shift feeling is confirmed.
If it is running, friends would end the lesson of F3 and will have
returned to the course.
F3 driving in the morning. It is beginning of 25 rounds of courses.
丂
First of all, the body is
accustomed by F3..
In
two vans, and instructor gives explanation of a shift point, a brake point, line,
and an accelerator work 3 rounds of courses, and is given, and it is
reconfirmation of a lesson. Lotus Opel F3 is taken after that [ each one of ],
and practice of a shift work and the check of pedal operation are carried out.
(Already, from Patrick, since finishing [ initiation by man to man
], I wait in a pit)
丂It is divided into two groups and, first of all, is 10
rounds. However, there were directions which are in front of a pit and which are
dropped to 5 prompt 2nd to
serve also as practice of heel and toe if straight. Although it ran by 5th full
thlottle in
front of the pit last year, it had become the contents of racing school-from
this year.
It gathered in the
bottom of the parasol of the trailer side for every after [ a run ] group,
remained according to the individual in response to the comment of F3 driving,
and prepared for 15 rounds.
丂Instructor called
"Tresbien"
or a group about my comment, and one of participants came also out of joke,
saying "Whether I have Thomas become instructor." (It is natural.)
Since I am the 3rd try ..
It is the try of remaining 15 rounds. As for
the driver which is possible also for passing the remaining run of 15 rounds if
[ in a straight ] are the appointed sections when there is nothing and it
catches up with all cars to the usual run, of course, and is passed, the blue
flag of a course member is also shaken.
The drive of 180H.P. and 350KG of F3 was enjoyed
fully.

In cockpit,A participant
chooses F1 drive from 3 rounds to 15 rounds, and course in is one set at a time.
I wish 15 rounds in almost all participants always having much 3 round, and
those who wish 5 round being rare each time. This time is also 15 rounds. I am

little by little The body is restored to a sheet. After that, mechanic equips a
seat belt with a steering in total, and is a mechanic and the last arrangement.
丂"Although Thomas wishes the F1 drive 15 round,
what run schedule is he?"
Although the eye had pit in, and eight weeks and directions

While I have the uneasiness of physical strength, of
course
It answered "It is 15 rounds at a stretch."
If it carries out
"When

It is the first 15-round breath riding.
Start engine

machine to a start position, hands a mask first, and is covered with a helmet.
And it handed with the glove of a right hand and a left hand.

An uneasy feeling is suppressed [ whether sudden braking can be carried out in
the last corner this side, and ], and it is to throttle full open and the
fastest pilot in the ground...
丂The standup from the last corner opens a throttle slowly,
without getting not impatient. Otherwise, control is lost. They are 3, 5, 5, 6th,
and a shift rise to the straight in front of a pit.
As the conductor has appealed to the player
as the expression of a face, in "score, directions of the preceding page
are received as " so that it may flow more smoothly, without cutting sound
here.
Right [ that ], its
tune which meets.
By gesture, a breaking's sweetness is pointed out from
Richard who is in the last corner point.

throttle is opened, and it is racing. The motor was stopped. The machine stopped
in front of the pit calmly. I have a belt removed mechanically. It was able to
get down from the machine, without the body being unsteady. He removed the
glove, and removed the helmet and the mask was taken.

As for the last, instructor's Richard,
cherries, and participating members including Patrick give a toast with
champagne together. The satisfaction which mixed instructor and the participant
