>>How u get their autograph? Do you just wave the book in their face and say 'autographhhhhhh!! Thank you!"?


MY REPLY>>
I asked nicely. Helps if you speak Japanese too. Most of the girls will oblige if you ask nicely - unfortunately most of the guys were too pushy with the photo taking and the grabbing of their waists etc.

I was very surprised that after asking them to sign their trading cards and their photos in Gals Paradise / Race Queen Guidebook - a few of them were so happy to be asked to sign that they asked to shake my hand!

My best score was Tora Takagi who was standing on the side and watching all the commotion at the Pit Walk and no one knew who he was- I recognised him and asked him to sign an old Trading card from his Formula Nippon days at Nakajima Racing in 2000. I was pretty stokked to get to meet him in person.

A WORD OF ADVICE >
PLEASE DONT TOUCH them if you get a chance to take a photo with them- the RQ and their minders are already apprehensive enough as it is and from what I saw last year made them even more wary of the guys at pit walk sessions. Be nice and gentlemanly and dont spoil it for everyone else by being a dickhead. If they feel threatened they will stand far behind the ropes and that spoils it for everyone esle - except for those with long lenses.

Hiromi Kawai (How can you not forget a name like that) will be back as an Elipse girl with the Toyota Team Tsuchiya. She is also an AVEX girl too. Yes I mispelled her name in my list- I have corrected it accordingly.



Mai Akimaya is not a Zent Sweeties girl this year.

It's HIROMI KAWAI !!!!!

Kwn saya tu.

Yeah, last year everyone was trying to shoot the Dynacity RQs, and James courtney was standing at the pit and no one knew who he was. So I went up to him and asked for his autograph, and his girlfriend who was standing next to him was just going 'ooooooh'.

The other dynacity driver kataoka was there too, holding a big marker pen and tapping it on the dynacity board, probably wondering why no one was asking for his autograph.

 

[cannon_eer18]

at least 1 of the rqs who got squeezed by guys last year is coming back to sepang. hope the spectacle doesn't repeat itself.

I remember the endless group was standing quietly way behind the fence during the pit walk.

 

[ARTC5859]

The younger girls like the endless girls will be more shy and apprehensive. The older more experinced ones controlled the crowd a lot better.

I must say that Takayo Negishi of the Cusco WRX team last year was a real pro- she made sure she was presentable before you took her photo - she was so nice and obliging to her crowd handing out stickers and posing for photos. She handled her crowd very well. I will miss her not coming to Super GT5 this year.

There's a famous newspaper interview that a race queen said that guys here tend to put their arms around their waists when they take a photo with them. I guess that has spread thru all the girls.

Just tell all your friends to take it easy and be gentlemen- they really appreciate it. Its very japanese to keep a polite distance. Hence the ropes.

 

[cannon_eer18]

You mean she puts on makeup before you can take her photo?

 

[ARTC5859]

Her make up was already done

She made sure her hair was ok, her costume was straight and properly on- all the sponsors logos can be seen clearly.
Here she is straightening her hair. She put a scarfe on made sure that was presentable and left out the leather jacket that she usually wore- because of the heat in Sepang.

She was very professional - she obligingly signed my RQ Guidebook and Gals Paradise Magazine- very nice girl my favourite RQ last year

 

[cannon_eer18]

yah
no matter what state of dress she was in she always had the scarf
like the trademark of cusco

 

[ARTC5859]

Its a damn shame that cusco is not coming- they were the only team that had a WRX. Takayo was last out for CUSCO in Las Vegas for the SEMA show in late 2005.

 

[cannon_eer18]

I thought she lasted till the final round of the Super GT

 

[ARTC5859]

You're right- SEMA05 was in OCT and the last roud of Super GT was in Nov 2005

 

[cannon_eer18]

She's my fav rq too. Too bad we won't see her this yr.

This year Ayano washizu also won't reappear in GT.

But strangely, Machi Shirakawa (kichou houzan) and Nana masumoto (A&S) appeared in round 3. Could be just a one-off appearance.
