I no longer race

It was not race anymore. But was not up to protect the top and it could start off well, then I was able to push hard from the very advantage that no one in front. Visibility was good minutes than other drivers, I was able to push more. Utilizing such advantages to pull away further, we could build a big gap. It was a very good car balance. It is a very good rain, the dry setup, except ride height has not changed too much. But just before the start, the team wants to request a little more downforce. I had to do it in about seven minutes before Fomeshonsutato, great show. You could feel the car very good on lap while driving, because we had really grip at corner exit at the entrance. So we can have confidence. Of pit stops, trying to do something like this becomes the first race and, even though most were a little worried, I do well.

As promised, good to go to the podium

Last year, I feel frustrated for not being able to stand on the podium so, Q2 in qualifying yesterday I'll catch the top was, Q3 frustrating that I've lost it narrowly in. But yesterday and today is rainy conditions change, I have had the chance. The rain felt really good because the test. So I'd like to focus on the start was really able to go on a good position. Then, also missed the Mr. Kogure in front of you stride. But it was faster machine top, but I pushed, I could not quite keep up. The second half, and was approaching from behind Andre players in the race but I was not comfortable, and am on the podium now, thank you to everyone. And had a lot of people came to cheer than any other circuit, but I turned to the school and orphanage before this race, and gave me a medal made everyone there. I "take it from this podium," I promise you, literally, and I think that really good to go with the podium. I also capped the power medal.

'm Not much free time to busy off the track

Today is very problematic race. The grid was to fall asleep right from the start, I was mortified. Qualifying could have been better was the third. I'll have bad road conditions. Then you've having a problem with shift paddles and start immediately, to be with proper gear, all to be one by the gas pedal. So I lost the position. If you have a fight and I paddle, I was busy off the track about no free time to. Fortunately, that was one after another and another car off the track, but I'm able to recover the position. However, the balance of the car was really good, I think there was grip. And the end, the player caught up Tsukagoshi, I think I'm quicker pace. But you will not see anything in the back near the water spray up to overtake stopped short.

If you bet too much rain, rain

Today, before the start betting on how much rain, I failed it and how much to lower the ride height. Until the 3rd lap and I start good, then after the shower is getting stronger, "Just stay on the course very" I became a state. The fact I've been so off the track. But this time it's OK Teiu basic condition of the car is confirmed, the setup fails percent, not bad I think today's result. I miss you Every man has his due. Of course, were too dry race today, I think the top 加Wareta enough to fight, I'm looking forward to next season.

The next race Butsuketai this frustrating feeling

Is beginning to go up one by one starting position properly, my mistake had been deployed arrowhead good, I stood at the expense of strategy at least. The track conditions had changed during the race, my car is good, no matter what conditions. The first half, I was trying to push that strategy to light the fuel, "it's time keep up here," Or rather the feeling that it was idle, I could control it better myself. I regret I was the result of a tremendous amount of pace when I was running alone, so good, there are now confident. But today I wanted to show her and took the podium in the race who came to support us a lot, and it is fulfilled, "sorry" and feeling that, in the rain to end a Keep up to wave the flag people, "Thank God" feeling that I've been feeling the two intersect. Also in Game 4, so come back to Motegi, get them to support many people at that time, I play better in the future.

I was able to never run as expected

From the front at all 食Wanaku practice, etc. was under. That's what I went with the rear brake balance so much, still useless. It is a tough race but I'm challenged to adjust. But it took a point I think I am glad in it. So I is not happy with sixth, more is better and I take 取Reta. Beginning of the race pace not rise at all, even off the track twice. I really feel like 走Renakatta. Potential of the car but I definitely think that, I can balance a little big break. But is unsure of the cause, why did not you work in front never felt far enough. But then I'm fine. Top Rank is regaining confidence.

Start Today, all

It had gone to the engine stalled at the start, somehow got the official press, was able to return to racing. That was all there today. But after riding the same pace with the top group, catching up going to the end, somehow caught points. Is that this situation can certainly get some points in the Formula Nippon race with fewer important. Well, I forgot that I have to start, switch to the feelings, so good at Fuji next, I would like to win the pole position. This time they changed the clutch, and that more wet, I could not like his slow start. But then fit perfectly into the batch to be determined.

It was good that I could catch a point from the tail

Here we meet went well without the original clutch, it was a touch of wheelspin. They feel it is, the formation lap I stalled the engine. Start at the back of the hand now, but I could start to calm down without worrying about the car later. I was able to catch up the points from there, as a result I think was good.

I think I want to compliment all worked hard.

About doing a formula, it took time by a start this year. It was stopped in the middle when I prepared, and there were the various panics. Watch the tears of all the team staff in that……. I have decided that I started in the part which was not a number anymore if I did so it. I talk with a wife economically this year though it is to very hard toilsome age and "am not good as a race fool?" When it was said "and may be just good with a race fool. I want that there is force, and, about the driver, the honor student appoints it that it does not need it. If get ready I do Don, about today's race, a driver cannot but go and thinks that I divide a pace by oneself and ran. I ate a bitter meal last year for one year, and there was the feeling that original frank talk wanted to run away. In such a state of mind, I started that I would return to the original intention once again together. The run of Oribe Ylla was splendid, too. It is stimulated in all by wind to catch a champion by all means and wants to praise it entirely this year because I tried it hard today.
