Plot[]

Takumi keeps managing to pull away through the corners, shocking the onlookers.

At the start line, the members of Katagiri hear that Kai is struggling, and wonder if it's because of his engine's horsepower. Minagawa says their cars are equally matched. He hopes Kai won't let Takumi get too much of a lead in the straightaways.

Kai panics, unable to understand how the Eight-Six can go so fast.
