« Getting ready for Daytona | メイン | テスト走行は明日・・・！？！ »

Daytonaに到着

深夜のフライトでLAを出発して、４時間半でオーランドに到着。飛行機の中ではなかなか寝付けなくて、映画を見始めたら最後が気になってけっきょく機内では２時間くらいしか寝る事ができませんでした・・・。オーランドに着いてからはレンタカーをピックアップして、デイトナまで１時間のドライブ。９時にサーキットに着いて受付をして、ガレージへ直行！話をしてる２チームと状況調査。

Caught a Red-Eye flight last night to Orlando. Since it was only a 4.5Hr flight, I planned the day so I can sleep in the plane. Usually the plan doesn't work out and I could not fall a sleep during the flight so I decided to watch the inflight movie until the end. After about 2Hr sleep, I landed in Orlando and picked up the rent-a-car and off to Daytona. It only took me 1Hr which was not bad of a drive! Once I arrived at the track, I had to stop by the registration to pick up the credentials and off to garage to meet the teams.

現場についてみると思った以上に、２４時間参戦に向けて交渉にきているドライバーがいてビックリ・・・。話をしていた片方のチームはスポンサー持ち込みの選手で行くみたいで、望みはもう１チームですね。今日は少しトラブルがあったみたいですが、明日はタイミングを見計らって乗せてもらう事ができると思います。短時間の中で良い走りをしないと！！始めてのデイトナプロトタイプの車の運転ですが頑張ります！！

I was suprised by amount of drivers walking around in the padock who are looking for rides. Of the two teams that I was talking to...one if opting for a driver with funding therefore it looks like I will have to concentrate with just one team. Although the car seemed to have minor problems today, I think I will have a chance to drive the car tomorrow and if not on Saturday. It's my firt run in the Daytona Prototype cars but I must show my ability in short time!! I really can't wait to drive the car!!!
