Plot[]

Keisuke and Go pass the spectators, and Shinji notes that Go's NSX appears to be more lively than before. Mako is overwhelmed by how amazing the race is and tears up. Shinji feels jealous that someones driving could move someone to tears, and decides that he wants to drive like they are.

Go realises they have reached the point where he made his move in the first round, and believes that Keisuke will do so as well, as it is the simplest location for it. Keisuke prepares to go all out.
