I always want to run a race where I can see who's at the top. Otherwise, there's no point in doing it.

Was tough.

the year of 2000. In this millennium, Masahiro Hasemi announced his retirement from All Japan Championship racing.

Suzuka, where the final round of the All Japan GT Championship was held

-Kit's audience is a history of Japanese motorsports

Walking with history and remaining a top contender to the present day

A generous round of applause to the driver who has played an active role in

I gave you my hand. Hasemi's history in motorsports

The motor sports carrier is exactly the same as Nissan's motor sports history up to the present day. that genius racing

I asked the driver.

“I never thought I would run until I was old.

There wasn't. At the age of 15, he signed a contract with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

He has been a racing driver for 35 years. When he had a busy vehicle development schedule, he was sometimes running on circuits over 200 days a year. I was actually aiming to become a two-wheel Grand Prix rider, but Honda stopped using Japanese riders, and that's when I saw a four-wheel Grand Prix race at Suzuka.

It was attractive because it had a large audience, was broadcast on TV, and offered a large amount of prize money. The following year, he auditioned and was contracted as a driver for Nissan's second team. However, unlike the first team in Oppama's development section, we belonged to Omori's advertising department and did machine maintenance ourselves along with the mechanics. The first army was able to ride the machines provided. However, we had to do everything ourselves, from machine tuning to settings. engine tuning

I also did bench tests myself. of course,

Someday I will defeat the guys from Oppama.

I was running with that feeling. I'm in charge of Blue Bird, Cedric, and Fairlady. Eventually, when Nissan merged with Prince and the drivers who had been under contract with Prince joined, there were already many competitors and competition for position within Nissan became very difficult (lol).

Eventually, for about two years starting in 1968, Hasemi participated in Grand Prix races in sports cars such as Lola and Porsche as a private activity. Afterwards, he was welcomed back to Nissan's Oppama Works.

``As a manufacturer, we developed parts for people who wanted to race, and we developed machines that would compete in the World Rally Championship, which Nissan was focusing on at the time.Even when we were two-wheelers, we were good at motocross, so we decided to move on to four-wheeled cars. But I was confident that I was faster than anyone else on dirt, and that I wouldn't damage the machine.The 240Z, which took third place in the Monte Carlo Rally, and the 510 and PA10, which were active in the Safari Rally, were all tested by me before they went overseas. The day after racing at the circuit, I raced a rally car in the mountains.

test. The day before, there was a lot of cheering.

However, the only sound on the test course in the mountains is the sound of birds.

I heard it (lol).”

``I'm happy when I'm given a machine that can win and I can race to the best of my ability.''

Hasemi, a contract driver for Nissan in the 1970s formed a private team and showed great success in each category until Nissan resumed its works race hiatus. He actively participated in the Fuji Grand Champion Series and the FJ1300 Series, which were the most popular at the time, and made steady progress and won the championship. He also attracted attention by driving the domestically produced Kojima KE007 in the first F1GP held in Japan in 1976. ``At that time, spot participation in F1 was allowed, and the engines, tires, and machines were all great.

It seemed like it. At that time, I was definitely playing ball.

I was aiming for Jishon. Fuji Speedway

The course is better for me than the F1 drivers.

I was familiar with him, and my rival was M. Andretti.

I thought it was just J. Hunt and N. Lauda. I was able to get Hunt and Andretti's cars in front on schedule, and I was able to use the slipstreams of those two cars to ensure I was able to improve my time. Until the hairpin corner, he was running faster than anyone else. However, as I approached the final corner, I ran off course due to machine trouble. If you can run to the control line, your chances of winning the ball are

I think it was big. Even so, the challenge that made me feel like I was competing against the world was a valuable experience.''

In 1980, Hasemi won an unprecedented four major domestic titles. All Japan F2 Championship All

Japan Formula Pacific Championship//Fujigu

Run Champion Championship/Suzuka F2 Championship

He won the four crowns. Eventually, as Nissan's works racing activities became more active, Hasemi became the main driver for Nissan along with his former Omori junior, Kazuyoshi Hoshino. The race for the Group 5 Super Silhouette car that I had envisioned started, and I drove the Skyline, marking the beginning of an era. Nissan began actively participating in endurance races for Group C cars, and began racing at Le Mans and Daytona. ``When we entered the 24 Hours of Daytona in the United States, it felt like we were competing against a huge nation called America.And we went out to win from the beginning, and we won.We had a machine that could win. It's a great feeling for a driver to race in a race where they can give their best from the start.''

Hasemi is now facing a new challenge in the world.

Participating in rally raids. In the Mongolia Rally, we recorded consecutive victories and another new crown. ``The temperature is 40 degrees Celsius, and we are given only 5 liters of water a day.It's difficult to race through the desert.However, there's a joy to it that you can't experience in other motorsports. It's difficult because you're always aiming for the top and trying to lead your rivals.But I think there's also a sense of fun to it that I haven't been able to experience in previous races.There are also races like this. I started to think that it was a good thing to do.”

Hasemi's spectacular racing career. There is confidence and pride in his face as he reflects on his many victories. And when Hasemi talks about rally raids again, he shows a gentle expression despite the severity.

i just learned of the

“ ultra-large crude carrier (ULCC) the biggest and longest self-propelled ship in history, the Seawise Giant. “

“Throughout its long and turbulent history, it would be known by several names: Knock Nevis, Oppama, Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, and Mont. It would also pass through several owners, become embroiled in the Iran-Iraq war, be salvaged from its watery grave, and rise again as the tanker Happy Giant.

Before all of this, however, the world’s largest ship resulted from a settlement between its Japanese builders and the Greek company that ordered it.”

think it’s actually the reference “LC” on higgs-amelie’s guitar belt!!!!!!!!!

Infiniti Prototype 9 

The vehicle body is made of steel plates that cover a stepped steel frame. The Takumi team (Nissan Motor Corporation's master craftsmen at the Nissan Research Center in Oppama, outside Yokohama, Japan) beat the sheet metal panels into shape. Distinctive Infiniti design elements were also incorporated into the Prototype 9, such as the double-arch grille, front wheel air vents, single-fold hood, and stylized lines running the length of the vehicle.

In everything else, the car is unmistakably inspired by retro aeronautical designs. The Prototype 9 is defined by its slick, streamlined surfaces, long hood and short wings, open cockpit, and open-wheel configuration. The 19-inch spoked wheels are encased in vintage cross-hatched racing tires. The cabin, whose design and craftsmanship are as characteristic of Japan as that of the bodywork, is in keeping with Infiniti's current approach to interior design. This one has painstaking attention to detail and finish, the cockpit is covered in black leather with contrasting red stitching, the finish of which is reminiscent of the racing single-seaters of bygone days. Subtle Japanese flags have been added to the headrest that is integrated into the low bucket seat. In a cabin that does not include any element that distracts attention from the road, the steering wheel rotates around a fixed central box, which houses all the driving indicators and includes a reduced set of switches. The frame itself is finished in turned aluminum, an effect often found in the field of aviation during the first half of the 20th century. 

The Prototype 9 is the first Infiniti to be powered by an electric powertrain with a 30 kWh high-voltage battery coupled with a prototype electric motor that has not been incorporated into production vehicles. The engine develops 120 kW (148 PS) and 320 Nm of peak torque that drives the rear axle through a single-speed transmission. Despite its aerodynamics, the Infiniti Prototype 9 achieves a top speed of 170 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, with a maximum electric range of 20 minutes of intensive circuit use.
