Official Descriptions[]

English[]

"When an "accidental" oil slick leaves K.T. with a compromised car that can't be fixed in time to race, he loses his cool and wonders if he'll ever be able to get back on track. Meanwhile, Tak battles against the Lancer Evo team, and the driver's goons are set to unleash some serious road rage on him if he wins. Everyone knows that Tak's not the type to throw a race--but when he gets wind of the beatdown that awaits him, he may have finally found a good reason to put it into cruise control!"

"An "accidental" oil slick leaves K.T. with an over-sized paperweight. But K.T. is back in action after sliding into the driver's seat of Kyoko's machine. Meanwhile, Tak is battling against the Lancer Evo team. The driver's goons are set to unleash some road rage on Tak if he wins. Tak's not the type to throw a race - but being on the receiving end of a beat down may be a good reason."
