Official Descriptions[]

English[]

"Tak had done the impossible by using the side gutters to re-pass Shirojima and keep himself in the battle, but has he really done more than simply prolong the inevitable? As yet another round gets under way, it's painfully clear that Shijojima won't fall for the same trick twice! Meanwhile, K.T. gives a stranded young lady the ride of her life, but when he drops her off at a gas station, will he be tempted to ask her out, or will he keep his resolve to stay away from women until Project D's good and over?"

"Le huitième run est entamé. Joshima décide de prendre les choses au sérieux : désormais, il ne laissera plus rien laisser passer. L’écart se creuse en sa faveur, et comble de malheur pour Takumi, à cause de l’accumulation de la pression et de la fatigue, ce dernier endommage une de ses suspensions… Un retournement de situation lui permettra-t-il de sortir victorieux de cette course sans merci ?"
