Okayama Int'l Circuit Part 6 - Drifting tests on BMW 1 Series

Though we are not doing really fabulous drifts like those you guys might have seen from the animation Initial D, but I think it is quite an impressive for an BMW Series 1 5-door.

Before starting out with the test, we disabled the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), ensuring that it does not try to stabilize the vehicle while we try out with the drifting.

Ok, the first to go - the car's owner.



Next, his friend is up to the act.



Oh, that me doing it. I supposed that I have not been driving for a while since I came to Japan. I was not really able to make it drift but more like doing big circling. After all, it is just an test, isn't it ?



I am getting a bit tired after doing the video-ing and driving. Better get some rest before the final race starts. Yawns~~

Okayama Int'l Circuit Part 5 - Exploring the circuit

I was inside my friend's BMW 1 series and we are circling around outside of the circuit and looking out the racing from other corners. Though it is quite interesting to see, but the weather is too cold for us to stand still for that long... better return to the car... Oh my god, I need to relieve myself..





Oh, by the way, some photos of the course.



Ahhh, at last.. ??? Oh, it is the Class B that are racing in the circuit right now. Better take a video of it as well. If you did noticed, the speed are much more slower and it sounds 'slow' as well. Isn't it ? Oops, my friend is calling me, gotten go to another spot now.. He has discovered a huge piece of flat land somewhere around the course and decided use his BMW 1 Series to do drifting tests.

Okayama Int'l Circuit Part 4 - Start your engine !! Vroom Vroom

Soon the event is going to start soon, so everyone is making their final preparation on their cars. I was strolling along the course while I saw this driver doing some tires warm-up. It was a very cold day, almost close to 0 degree in the morning and without proper warm-up, there might be chances of tires slipping during the race.



As the time closes in, the cars are gathering at the pit stop. As it is not an official racing for the first few rounds, so all cars are starting through the pit stop.

Look! There is my friend, sitting inside of BMW M3. Though he is a newcomer in car racing, he is doing well.



The racers are closing in finishing the first lap, let's see if my friend is coming by anywhere soon. Hmmm, where is he ? By the way, you heard the siren ? It signals that a car has just came into the pit.



The practice went on and on... until 4 pm in the afternoon. As there are different capacity class of cars, there are alternating racing period between the Class A and Class B. Though this is my first time viewing true racing, but it still gets bored quite quickly, simply because I am not the real person sitting inside the car. Soon one of my another friends came by and we decided to explore the circuit.

Honda pull-out in F1

Seems like Honda pull-out from F1 has caused quite a stir within the country. The media are using harsh words on Honda after their sudden retreat from F1 formula due to strap of cash.

The critics are not focusing on not winning , but rather that Honda has betrayed their fans and own people trust, diminishing their hopes as a country which has the ability to participate in F1.

Seems like the recent economy recession has not cause an great effects in the industry sectors, but slowly spreading through the sports sector as well. What would be the next sports that will announce this similar news again ?

人に愛する

前の日に、友達はこのメールが送ってきた。内容ちょっと面白いと思うので、みんなに見せたいと思う。

人に愛する


もし彼女にも愛していないなら、手を放してください。

他の人は彼女を愛するの機会をあげる。

もし彼女があなたをあきらめたら、自分は自分を放してください。

他の人に愛するの機会を自分にあげよう。

時々に好きな物があっても手に入れない、

時々に愛をしても手を離せなきゃ。

いろいろな人生にあっても、他の人に傷つかないで、

縁のない関係は、放せるほうがよい。

放せないと、悪い結果が出るわけだ。

男は泣いたら、本当に愛するわけで、

女は泣いたら、本当にあきらめたわけだ。


＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊


もし誠実は彼女に傷つける、私はうそを選ぶ。

もしうそは彼女に傷つける、私は沈黙を選ぶ。

もし沈黙は彼女に傷つける、私は彼女と別れる。

もし愛情をなくす、まだ愛を投げ出せないのか？

もし心が乱れる、まだ相手を放せないのか？
