::my racing weblog:: from Japan to the World.

I started this weblog from November of last year.
So next month will be the first 1 year anniversary.
But still my weblog was watched only 300 people.
Analyze from the weblog status,there is constantly one people watching my weblog per day.

On the other hand, my Japanese weblog has at least 50 access per day.
A lot of people give me the nice comments and some of them became my precious personal sponsors.
In Japan, the culture of weblog more popular than other country.
There is lot`s of "Weblog Introduction Homepage" and "Weblog Ranking Site".
Many different kinds of people choose and access to the weblog.
I think it is very effective to self introduction and advertise.

Of course I update my "Japanese" weblog more frequently than "English".
I ignored my English weblog for a long time.
When I started this weblog I didn`t compete in any official race.
Then I thought it wasn`t important to keep the English weblog.
But now I`m competing the race and I think I could show the good performance.
My eyes are heading into the "world".
Now I recognized the importance of the English weblog.

I want to get more access to this weblog.
Does anybody know how to enable it?
Please give me your advise !!

If I choose the category I will compete next year from touring car race, there are 4 major categories in Japan.
HONDA Civic RACE, NISSAN Micra CUP, TOYOTA Yaris CUP,and VW GTI CUP.
Each races have a different style and background.

The Civic race is a newest category started in this year.
Most of races are supporting the SUPER-GT series and Formula NIPPON.
Machine is the original specification made by HONDA-MUGEN.
But it almost same to the S2000 machine.
We can get the good experience from it to be a Europe touring car driver.

The Micra cup is of course the one make series organized by NISSAN-NISMO.
The base machine is normal Micra SR12 edition and remake it to the cupcar.
It has almost same performance to RENAULT CLIO CUP but it isn`t so popular like Clio cup.
But the budget per year is more inexpensive.
Machine style is very cute but it’s very quick and always keep the race competition high.

The Toyota Yaris cup has a largest competitor in Japanese touring car race.
It always gathers over 40 cars each race. So it is very hard work only to through the qualify.
Machine is kept equal condition perfectly.
We can easily buy it from TOYOTA dealer shop "Net`z" and most interesting point of this machine is we can use it on public road.
So we can drive it to the circuit then ride it in the circuit and can use it to come back to the home.
There is no need to use the trailer to transport the race car.
These special rules make this series very cost effective.

Of course, there is a lot of other minor touring car series called "clubman race".
Old Civic Cup car or MAZDA Roadster are usually used.
If I choose the category I compete in the next year from touring car race, I choose it from these 4 categories.

 I decided that this year is the last year to compete in FJ1600.

Now I`m planing to move up to higher level formula car races or other touring car races.

I think the number of race categories in Japan is less than that of the other countries which motor sports is popular.
We have only few category to able to choice.
There are two categories between FJ1600 and Formula 3.
It is Formula 4[F4] and Formula Challenge Japan[FCJ]

   
                FCJ                                         F4
F4 is the original category in Japan.
FCJ is the same machine to Formula Renault.

Compare these two categories, FCJ is more competitive than Formula 4.
A lot of young talented drivers compete in this series.
FCJ limited the driver`s age under 26.

Of course I can compete but most important problem is the money.
The budget of FCJ is $70000 per year .
Compare to Formula Renault UK series, it is almost half.

 
But it is still hard for me to make money.
Now I`m working hard to get the sponsor and make money.
If I could determine to enter the FCJ, I intend to go to UK for the test !!
