I'm here to compete, I'm taking on the challenge, and if I start thinking about everything before I came, and everything waiting once I'm home — “stuff, matters, people” — there's no end to it.

Driving across the world, again and again 💨, meeting people, feeling all sorts of things.

Well — good enough!
The competition itself was a mess… my worst result ever — but that too! Well, good enough!

Because I made it to the finish!

Days like this happen. They just do.

In the midst of all that, I've been slacking on the reports, but I'll properly catch them all up.

Yesterday I had a reunion, after a long while, with a Japanese team I'd met abroad back when I first started rallying!

And with people I'd met at past events too ♪

【Behind the wheel! Made it safely to the finish~】
On the very last leg of the final day, driving myself, I safely finished the world-class GP Nuvolari.
In competition… fourth in class… 45th overall… the wall the world puts up is a thick one!
I wanted that trophy.
So, I'll keep working at it!
