フェラーリチャレンジ初日

今日はフェラーリチャレンジの練習走行初日。２月にテストに来ていたので自分のドライバーは今日はずっとトップ１０。このレベルのレースでも、事前テストがどれだけ大切で打っ付け本番がどれだけ大変だか改めて実感しました・・・。

Today was the first practice day for the Ferrari Challenge Race Weekend. Since we were here on Feb testing for two days, my driver did well right off the bat. It just shows how important it is to test even at this level of racing...obviously I was up for a huge challenge when I had to race in Motegi with just 50laps under my belt before the race!?!

でも、自分のドライバーはトップ５のタイムを出してニコニコ。気合いがかなり入ってるので、自分ももっとデータを解析して速く走れる様にコーチしないと。しかし、この仕事を初めて受け持ったのがちょうど１年前。その頃から比べると自分のドライバーはかなりレベルアップしてるので嬉しい事です！明日のレースはお客さんがいっぱいくるみたいので、ぜひぜひトップ１０に入ってもらいたいと思います！！

My driver was running top 5 this morning and ended the day in top 10. We certainly have improved over the races and I am really happy to see him closer to top of the chart sheet. We still have a little more work to do but I am happy to dedicate my time to look at the data and video to make him go faster!! Apparently, we are supposed to have a few guests coming tomorrow so we would definitely need a good top 10 finish again!!
