6 Hours of Fuji #6hFuji

This weekend marks the WEC Japan Race:  6 Hours in Fuji Speedway. We´ve been waiting for this one for months, why? because we like Fuji better than Suzuka.

There´s -in my opinion- something sacred in this soil and mystical in the weather, combined with the japanese culture and their protocolar oriented ways also the long racing history that makes Fuji better, a beautiful and haunitng monster compared only to the mount itself.


FIA WEC this year have proven to be more interesting and engaging than the F1. Will this race be another amazing victory to Porsche and the amazing teams using their vehicles? Porsche is currently 36 points ahead of Audi thanks to wins at Le Mans, Nürburgring and Circuit of The Americas but, with a maximum of 44 points per race available and a total of 132 points over the final three races, the championship is far from over. Toyota is 119 points behind Porsche and while it is still mathematically in the running, the reigning world champions will be concentrating on securing their first win of the season at home in Fuji.

Will the other teams wake up long enough to catch up? AND the most important question of all -according to my wife- Will McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) participate?

Yes honey. I will...

In the 919 Hybrid department. Our archiknown and favourite: Mark Webber, Brendon Hartley and Timo Bernhard, took their first win for Porsche in Germany and then followed it up with another victory at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas. Thanks to a hard-fought second place finish at COTA, Audi’s Benoît Tréluyer, André Lotterer and Marcel Fässler still lead the World Drivers’ Championship, with Webber, Hartley and Bernhard trailing by just 10 points.
