Document 72 Hours - Season 7 Episode 12 Farewell! Our Funabashi Auto
Auto racing is a sport in which motorcycles race at speeds of 150 kilometers per hour. The stage for this episode is Funabashi Auto, the birthplace of auto racing. Last month, the curtain came down on 65 years of history at this traditional racetrack. We closely followed the three days when the last race was held. The spectators were in an uproar at the appearance of the famous racer. The heated races create an unprecedented excitement. A wide variety of people came to the race, from parents and their children who have been going to the race for two generations, to those who were chasing the good-looking racer, to customers who were looking for the famous motsu-nikomi (stewed pork belly). For the last 72 hours, an unimaginable drama takes place!
