This result is very disappointing for us to say the least, but sometimes in racing things do not go according to plan. Here is what happened to us this weekend.]]> http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/nurburgring_r6_report.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/nurburgring_r6_report.html race Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:57:11 +0900 Since 1998 it is my first time at the N'Ring GP track. I have actually many good memories from the Nurburgring, lots from F3, but also I won my first ever car race in a Formula Ford there in 1988. That's a long time ago, and some corners have obviously changed, especially the new Mercedes arena is new to me. But I think most of the corners will fit our Nissan GTR very well. http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/fia_gt1_r6_nurburgring_preview.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/fia_gt1_r6_nurburgring_preview.html race Thu, 26 Aug 2010 03:43:02 +0900 The fifth round to the FIA GT1 World Championship in Spa was a real roller coaster of emotions and ended up in a heartbreaking retirement in the main race for us with just one and a half laps to go. Starting the weekend we soon saw that we look in a good shape for a strong top ten point finish. so we were going into qualifying quite optimistic. ]]> http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/fia_gt1_r5_spa_francorchamps.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/fia_gt1_r5_spa_francorchamps.html race Mon, 02 Aug 2010 19:17:08 +0900 This weekend we will have R5 of the FIA GT1 World Championship in Spa-Francorchamps. Last year we took part in the 24h of Spa with the Nissan GTR for testing purposes and we ended up having a great result by achieving the podium. So we know that the GTR is very good around Spa in general. But this time the race is only one hour and we also carry 50kg of success ballast after being on the podium for the last 2 races. http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/spa_r5_preview.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/spa_r5_preview.html race Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:31:10 +0900 I lived in Japan since 1994 and my first 4 years I lived in Gotenba, which is located near Fuji Speedway just at the bottom of Mount Fuji. But even though I used to ride up the roads leading up to Fuji or occasionally run partly up the mountain for training purposes, I never thought about walking all the way up to the top.

We qualified 3rd and opted to use our old tires from the free practice for our first stint with Peter for the QF race. Unfortunately that was a very difficult to handle and we dropped right through the field. We ended up in P9 and were obviously very disappointed to having to start the main race from so far back. http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/podium_at_round_4_of_gt1_world.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/podium_at_round_4_of_gt1_world.html race Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:17:29 +0900 It was a tough week in Wimbledon for Kimiko and myself as we had to endure some tough first round losses. Even though we knew it was going to be a tough challenge for Kimiko in Wimbledon because of her injury since the French Open, it is always very hard to take a loss in 3 sets. I myself went from Wimbledon to Snetterton for testing in the GTR and that went quite well and we were able to improve the cars performance. We now hope that those changes will reflect in next weeks race at Paul Ricard. http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/testing_and_preparation_for_pa.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/testing_and_preparation_for_pa.html race Fri, 25 Jun 2010 17:39:20 +0900 The short break after the Brno race is over and we resume testing in England next week. In the meantime I have been training in Monaco, mostly on the bicycle and gym. It's a fantastic coincidence that we are testing in England, since Kimiko will play in Wimbledon next week as well. Her injury seems to be quite good now, the only problem is that she hasn't been able to play a match since the French Open. ]]> http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/private/wimbledon_and_training.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/private/wimbledon_and_training.html private Thu, 17 Jun 2010 01:31:55 +0900 After the race in Brno I immediately left to be able to attend Kimiko's match in Paris against former number one Dinara Safina. It was a long drive, but I made it all in time and it was a good job I did. The match that we were able to witness was just amazing. Kimiko played with a calf injury and even so made the impossible possible and won the first round in Paris. That match for sure not only gave myself a lot of inspiration and motivation, but also everyone that witnessed this epic duel. ]]> http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/private/roland_garros_and_gtr.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/private/roland_garros_and_gtr.html private Thu, 27 May 2010 23:56:56 +0900 スペシャル特典！！　―　限定10冊、マイケルのサイン入り！！（予告なしに終了する場合がございます） ]]> http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/post_2.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/post_2.html race Tue, 25 May 2010 17:49:24 +0900 It was an exciting weekend in Brno. The free practice was wet most of the time, therefore most of the drivers only got a few laps running before the actual qualifying on Saturday. This made the qualifying and the qualifying race even a bigger challenge than usual. Again we made it through to Q3 and we finally had to settle for P4 for the qualifying race. Peter did a great start and we were running in P2 until the pit stop. Unfortunately we lost too much time there and I brought the car back in P3. http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/podium_at_r3_of_gt1_world_cham.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/podium_at_r3_of_gt1_world_cham.html race Mon, 24 May 2010 07:23:13 +0900 www.permagard.co.jp]]> http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/post_3.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/post_3.html Thu, 20 May 2010 13:32:21 +0900 It was the first real 24h race at the "Green Hell" of the Nurburgring last weekend, but unfortunately not everything went as smooth as planned. I raced the Nissan 370Z from the RJN Team, all organize by Auto Zeitung together with Nissan Germany. It all started with the typical Nurburgring weather at the Thursday night practice. Heavy fog, rain and mud turned my first laps around the Ring into a real nightmare. It was really tough to go blind over jumps or high speed section with hardly any visibility. But that was what I was warned about and what this race is all about. ]]> http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/nurburgring_24h_race.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/nurburgring_24h_race.html race Mon, 17 May 2010 18:52:20 +0900 P3 in Qualifying and retired in the Main Race. It was not a lucky weekend again for our car. After a great qualifying which earned us P3 Peter started the qualifying race and handed me the car back in P4. Unfortunately we received a drive through penalty for cutting the white lone on pit entry. After I served my drive through penalty I tried to make up as many places as possible and was able to finish the race in P8. This would be our start position for the main race. http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/gt1_world_championship_r2_silv.html http://www.techniq-group.co.jp/mk/blog/race/gt1_world_championship_r2_silv.html race Mon, 03 May 2010 20:56:22 +0900
