Not a problem in the world that couldn't be solved by complaining on the internet

6 years later, the comments on my shipless Outer Wilds loop are still accusing me of fraud 😔

A couple more I missed going over the first time

First picture is an exercise in rescuing a driver with a suspected neck injury. Failed to get a good shot, but it was an actual person in there too, who probably had the weirdest job of the day

Race win was set to go to Ayumu Iwasa (former F2 and current RB reserve driver) but a loose wheel forced him to stop, handing the win to Sho Tsuboi

Among the over 1000 panning shots of cars I took, there were even a couple usable ones! Turns out it's so hard to do when a car is passing right by you at 200 km/h

Press photographers all lined up around the broadcast camera, ready to capture the start

Some more shots from around the grid

Had a ticket that let me onto the grid walk too. Everybody was trying to get a shot of Juju Noda, who you may remember going around the motorsport press as a child prodigy a couple years back.

She got fast tracked into Super Formula last year and sadly, her results have been less than stellar

*mostly*

Another pit walk on race day of course, this time prepping for actual racing, since the fog had *mostly* cleared up

This mechanic absolutely loved the weather too

Super Formula race was fun! I learned that I cannot be trusted with a burst shutter!

Unfortunately the quali day was interrupted entirely by rain and fog, but I did get a couple of shots in the pit walk

Practiced tracking vehicles for the Super Formula race I'm going to next month

Sakura season is sadly pretty much over in this corner of Japan, but I'm very happy with some of the pictures I managed to take
