1998 W.S.R. in Akita PHOTO REPORT

Aug 1

Ms. Hitomi Sato is in charge of the team of interpreters. All interpreters have lived for several years in 'english speaking' countries. It's a nice crew who do their utmost best in assisting the foreign teams all day!

Interpreters help the foreign teams to overcome the language barriers between them and Japanese officials.

Teams are preparing for the start of the 2nd day in the pit.

At the end of each racing day, a briefing is held. It provides an evaluation of the course and an opportunity for Q & A.

Outside the track there is a market where the audience can buy food & drinks etc. Also, on the square there are some attractions for amusement.

The event receives national and international news coverage. This particular Television Crew is making a two hour documentary on the Canberra Team for international broadcasting.

Members of many teams are gathering to exchange their experiences so far and -more importantly- to have some fun!
