Tsukuba-kenkyugakuen-toshi
Tsukuba Science City is the "researcher city." Tsukuba has University of Tsukuba, AIST, NIMS, etc. Tsukuba residents experiment. Three months per experiment. Hypothesize. Verify. Collect data. Analyze. For Tsukuba residents, "seeking immediate results" isn't scientific. Science takes time. Can't hurry. Tsukuba residents "research slowly." But motorsports is a sport of "immediate results." Qualifying times come immediately. Race rankings decided immediately. Opposite of Tsukuba residents' "take 3 months" culture. Tsukuba was planned in 1960s. As "science and technology city." Tsukuba residents live "planfully." Everything as planned. No improvisation. But motorsports is a sport of "improvisation." Situation judgment. Instant decisions. Opposite of Tsukuba residents' "planful." Tsukuba's population is about 240,000. Today again, Tsukuba residents experiment over 3 months. Circuits? That's where "results come immediately." Tsukuba residents "take 3 months."
