Kyosho Masters in Japan, day 2

If you see some difference now it´s because i have switched to english after some wishes from drivers outside Sweden. This was the second day of our trip to Tokyo to compete at Kyosho Masters in Japan. The schedule of today was some free practise at the track, which for this year are Yuichi Kanais "hometrack" placed in or directly outside Tokyo.
The Kyosho car ( as i called MP10) came to the hotel to bring us to the track. We will stay at another hotel closer the track for the weekend, so it was only to full it up with out baggage. The jurney to the track took 2,5 hours and it was a great opportunity to se something of the city.
Wounder if they have alot of power outage in this town ... probably yes !! When we were arriving to the track the sky was really grey and dark, but so far it didn´t rain anything yet. We installed us in a indoor to prepere the car for the practice and also checked the track. It was a narrow track and it was aprox. 2.5 metres on the most places. It was croplands around the track and the surface were clay - wet clay as it was i bit muddy after earlier rain.

The track have alot of jumpt and David couldn´t wait to drive. It was only 5-7 people driving on the track all day so we spent long time do drive as much as possible. Team driver Atsushi Kawamoto were also on the track and made som practice and he was really fast but after 2 gallon of practice David and Atsushi had the same speed when ther drove together to test each other. It started to be darker and we felt satisfied with the practice for today. At the same time it started to rain, so the timing was perfect. We was spending 2 hours to make the car ready for the qualifications before the MP10 took us to the hotel and some japanese food with our Kyosho friends. Now it´s time to sleep over here for the race tomorrow ... but it still raining :-(
