Indy Japan 300

Today was the student trip to go to the Indy Japan 300 race at Twin Ring Motegi. All the exchange students along with Yoshiko and quite a few students went along for the trip.

When we arrived, I was surprised at the vastness of the track. It was only 1 1/2 miles, but still it was quite a distance. We first went to see Asimo, a robot developed by Honda that is supposed to have balance resembling a human.

We later had lunch, and I found it interesting one of the restaurants had American style burgers. I also found the coke in a carton interesting.

We later made our way down to the track. We had really good seats for our tickets; we could see the field pretty well and were a little off from the finish line. However, problems arose from the track as a leak in one of the turns delayed the start and it started raining right after they fixed the leak so the race was delayed until the next day, but our tickets could still be used.
