1998/04/03-05 Marlboro Grand Prix of JAPAN
快晴の中、Marlboro Grand Prix of Japan 1998を見に、鈴鹿サーキットに行ってきました。
今年は、ビアッジ、ロッシの昇級などにより、各クラス混戦が予想され、また、日本人ライダーの活躍が期待されています。
実際、終わってみれば、125,250は上位を日本人が独占、500では、あまりにもビアッジが速すぎたのですが、その後の2位争いは、常に日本人ライダーの争いでした。
表彰台に上がったのは、ビアッジを除いて、全て日本人、それも250では、全員、全日本のスポット参戦組!!
125では坂田が3年ぶりの優勝を飾って、むちゃくちゃ感激してました。
しかし、ビアッジは速すぎる!!500初参戦で、予選2分5秒台!!ダントツの優勝!!
今年はドゥーハンの一人勝ちとは、いかないようです。
岡田も最後で、スポット参戦の芳賀をかわし、2位表彰台。
期待されたノリックは、岡田のふらつきでコースアウトしながらも、再スタート、しかし、クリビーレにお押し出され、またもやコースアウト、タイヤバリヤーに突っ込み、スクリーンを無くしながらも、最後まで走りきった姿は、感動ものでした。
今年からWGPに復活したコシンスキー、やんちゃすぎて追い出されたのですが、最近は大人になったと言われながらも、思いっきりのフライング、ピットストップ時に、スピード違反、再びピットストップ...オフィシャルに文句をつけるあたり、やっぱりコシンスキーって感じでした。
途中まで、調子の良かった125の上田、250の宇川のスローダウンはとても残念でした。藤原の代理の北川もあっさりとコースアウト...NWOの蝶野も応援に来ていたのに...
しかし、ドゥーハンが、あんなにあっさり諦めるとは...世代交代かな...
日本GPは、初めて観戦しましたが、８耐とは、雰囲気がかなり違いました。
前夜祭やその他のイベントもまったく無く、有料でのライダーの応援会のようなものだけでした。
レストランなども、夜9:00には閉店してました。
当日、朝7:30ゲートオープンだったのですが、7:00には、既にオートキャンプ場入り口くらいまでの人の行列。
圧倒されましたが、入場すると、ブースが少ない...
MARLBOROが二つ、JAJA,YESS,HARTが散らばってて、アプリリアは展示と、アンケートのみ。イベント数も少ない。
８耐なら、所せましと各メーカー、タイヤメーカー、スポンサーのブースがあるのですが、派手にやってるのは、MARLBOROだけ...MARLBOROは結構派手でした。大画面でレースの中継をやったり、3台の本物のTZ125を使ったレースのゲーム。平、吉川、芳賀健輔のトーク、解説、平さんとの、ゲーム対決などもあり、結構盛り上がってました。
観客の数も、やはり８耐より少なく、指定席はほぼ埋まってましたが、S字のほうはガラガラでした。FM放送も、DDIPの仮設アンテナもない...
という感じで、レース以外ではものたりない感じはしましたが、レース観戦券を持っていると、乗り放題券が半額になったりするし、お子さんは観戦料は無料なので、御家族連れのかたは一度行ってみてはいかがでしょう。
