走行初日

今日はついに走行ができました。１時間半のセッションが２回あったのですが、残念ながら２セッション目は途中で雨が降ってきて中断。今回は車がシェークダウン状態だったので、初日の走行に色んなトラブル発生・・・。電気系統のトラブルだったり、セットアップだったり色々と試したい事がいっぱいあったのですが、まだまだスピードを出せるレベルではありません・・・。

I finally got to drive the car! We had two 1.5hr session today but the 2nd session was cut short due to the rain. Since it was pretty much a shakedown day for us since we never got to test before this event. The car is running but we have a lot of work to do needing to fix the telemetry system as well as the car set up in general. The track has changed quite a bit over the last two years and we need to change the set up accordingly. I wished if we had more track time but I think we were at least able to find the direction for the race.

走行が終わってから長いミーティングをチームとして、明日に向けてセットアップの向上についてずっと話をしました。方向性は見えてきてるので、レースではボチボチいけると思うのですが、残念ながら明日は雨みたいで走れなかったら厳しい・・・。とにかく明日は晴れて欲しいです！！

Obviously I needed to do a lengthy meeting with the team to make the car best as possible and I think we have a plan for tomorrow now. However, the forecast is rain all day tomorrow and that is not going to help our situation...I will need to keep my finger crossed in order to gain more track time and speed!!
