Road & Track スーパーカーをオーバルでテスト

2008年05月28日

今日はRoad & Trackのお仕事でカリフォルニアスピードウェイに行ってきました。色んなスーパーカーをオーバルで走るという企画。最初に聞いた時に、“エッ・・・”て思いましたが、やってみると以外と面白い!?!

I was at California Speedway working for Road & Track today. We tested many high performance exotic cars on an oval! Yes on an Oval!?! When I was offered to do this first...I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be pretty good day at the track.

乗ったのはランボルギーニ、GT-R,Audi R8、Viper、ポルシェGT2等のスーパーカー。どれを乗ってもワクワクしてしまう内容!しかも、2マイルオーバルを300km/h近いスピードで走るのはある意味インディーカーよりすりりんぐでした!?!(笑)GT-Rに乗ったのも初めてでかなり感心しました。500には出れませんでしたが、今日は色んな車に乗ってその分のストレスもぶっ飛びました!!(笑)

I can't tell you all the cars that I drove today but some of them included the Lambo, GT-R, Audi R(, Viper, and Porsche GT2. I was smiling through out the day driving the cars because it certainly was not an every day driver and I don't think I will have another day of being able to drive all the exotic sports cars that I got to drive today. It was nerve racking driving those cars on a 2mile oval exceeding speeds of 160mph.... But was real fun! It certainly gave me some stress relieve after not being able to race the 500!?! I must say that I was particularly impressed with the GT-R.
