あっという間に８月も終わり、爽やかな秋風が心地よい季節となりました。さあ、クラシックラリーに最適の季節です。ということで、私は、５月末にエントリーが締め切られた「ＲＡＬＬＹ ＮＩＰＰＯＮに（http://www.rallynippon.org/）に「・１２２」ＡＭＡＺＯＮで出場します。１０月１７日から２０日までの４日間、東京・丸の内をスタート、清水の日本平ホテルを経由して岐阜、白川郷、奈良、そして京都と約１０００Ｋｍで競われます。「平城遷都１３００年記念」としてユネスコ協会支援のもとに開催される「ＲＡＬＬＹ ＮＩＰＰＯＮ」には、国内８０台、海外から２０台のクラシックカーの出場が予定されています。先日、金縁封筒に入った参加受理書と立派なポスター３枚が郵送されてきました。エントリー費は５０万円、、と、ちょっと高いのですが、１６日のレセプションパーティと宿泊は日比谷のペニンシュラ東京、岐阜は都ホテルに２泊、奈良は奈良ホテル、京都はハイアットリージェンシーということなので、高級ホテル行脚を楽しむつもりです。で、一昨日の午後７時から表参道のラルフローレンブティックで、ラルフローレン・ウオッチの発表パーティの会場に２台のクラシックカーが展示され「ＲＡＬＬＹ ＮＩＰＰＯＮ」の告知ＰＲもされていました。あとスタートまで一ヵ月半ほどですが、とても楽しみです。ま、その前の９月２０日には、ちょっと足慣らしも兼ねて「伊香保クラシックカーミーティング」にもＡＭＡＺＯＮの仲間やＴＡＣＣのクラブ員の方々と出場します。いよいよクラシックラリーのシーズンに突入、、、という感じでワクワクしている今日この頃です。
August is almost over and there is a feeling that Autumn is just around the corner. This means that the season for classic rallys is almost here. I have decided to enter into Rally Nippon with my .122 (http://www.rallynippon.org/). The rally starts from the Marunouchi area of Tokyo on the 17th and goes thru Nihon Daira at Shimizu, Gifu, Shirakawa, Nara and Kyoto. It is a 1000km rally held over 4 days. This rally is to commemorate the 1300 year of Heijo Capital and is supported by Unesco. 80 cars from Japan and 20 cars from overseas are expected to enter. I received a beautiful envelope with an acceptance letter and 3 posters. The entry fee is rather expensive at 500thd yen, but the first night, a reception will be held at the Penninsula Hotel at Tokyo, 2 nights at Gifu Miyako Hotel, followed by stays at Nara Hotel, Kyoto Hyatt Regency so hopefully, the I will get what I paid for. Yesterday from 7pm, 2 classic cars were displayed in front of the Ralph Laurent store at Omotesando. It was a joint event where RL launched their new watch and Rally Nippon did a bit of a PR stunt. The rally is about 1.5 month away and I look forward to it, but before that, I will be entering the Ikaho Classic Car Rally on September 20th.
