“It’s a great addiction? We enjoy the feeling of great excitement and fear.”
I rode it myself to see how fast it was.

“(Do I have to hold it? What will happen if I don’t hold it?) It shakes a lot.”
It’s not easy to keep your body at great speed.

“(Did you kill yourself?) (usually) 50%.”

“I do circuit training with low weight repetitions. I train my neck with a helmet.”
This is a vehicle that came in after driving. Hot heat is rising from the wheels like steam coming out of a rice cooker, and the indoor temperature in midsummer rises to 70 degrees.

“Tires account for 70% of the lap time in a race car, which is a big change for drivers.”
The fire consumed 210,000 finished products, including racing tires.
Eventually, the winning team of last season, which used Hankook Tire, gave up this competition.
Even if you compete, it is not easy to adapt.

“When (tires) are just spinning and rolling, it feels light and some things are heavy, and it takes time to adapt. In the end, players have to adjust to the tyres.”
The sparkling Super Race, which has overcome new difficulties and endured, will open on the 22nd.
