    他の日本人のエントラントの方たちの映像もJUN TVで見られて、皆さんとてもはつらつとして楽しそうでした。レンタルパッケージだとお安くて楽だと言う話が意外でした。普通高いかな?と思うので。ユーロ安のお陰ですね。海外ラリーも思ったより親しみやすい競技なんですね。

Technical Control (Scrutineering)

スクリーンショット 2012-09-29 19.15.21

This is Jun joining the team on the night of the 28th. Early on the morning of the 29th, the mechanics went to claim the vehicle and move it to Alexandria. At three in the afternoon and we came face to face with the vehicle and at last began technical control.

This rally is a FIA rules rally so the technical control is really strict but to TLC, which Jun belongs to, it was as a breeze. It did not take even an hour to finish all of the procedures. The only thing left to do now is be at the start line.

 

“This is my fourth time to the Pharaons Rally. This is the team’s third time, so everyone is really calm. The technical control finished in no time at all. I didn’t have to do anything. That’s because the mechanics and the navigator Allen did it all for me. All I had to do was move the vehicle.”

 

The competition numbers were applied by the mechanics, and with that the rally car was ready. On the 30th a briefing was held. At last, the Pharaon Rally will start in one day.

Some Japanese amateur participates this year.
I had dinner with them and talked a lot of stories about rally.
I think that amateur is leading of the rally!

    今日は車検ですか。時差があるのでまだ実際に車検は行われていないのでしょうね。しかしこの写真、露天にソファが置いてあるように見えてしまいますが、屋根の下なのかも知れないですね。それにしても雨が少なさそうな場所です。植物も全然日本とは違いますし、建物も屋根の形がエジプトっぽい!とエジプトを良く知らないのに思ってしまいます。豪華なホテルですが、三橋選手も他のエントラントの方たちも、走りたくてうずうずしているように見えますね。

JUN arrived Cairo

Jun Mitsuhashi has announced participation in the 2013 Dakar Rally as a member of Team Toyota Auto Body (TLC), the champion team in the [unmodified?] production category.
On his road back to the FIA T2 category championship, he has joined the Pharaons Rally, an important preliminary for Dakar. Arriving two full days ahead of his teammates, he is relaxing at his hotel to recover from his flight of over 22 hours. He will be joined by the others the evening of the 28th. After vehicle inspection on the 29th, they will have a day off before the rally begins on October 1.
“We had a very good run here last year. Because it turned into a joint competition with the next higher class, Super Production. Alas, machine trouble on the last day hurt our overall standings and cost us the production category trophy. I sure hope to take it home this time.”
