Eager to prove himself against a professional, Keisuke will put his whole heart and soul into this battle! But Minagawa might pick up the pace when he finds that Keisuke is faster than he imagined.

"C'est Keisuke qui a pris la tête du battle l'opposant à Minagawa, le pilote de circuit de la team Katagiri. Si ce dernier le surpasse en technique et en vitesse, le jeune pilote de la team D s'est préparé depuis des mois pour cette confrontation. L'entraînement spécial qu'il a suivi lui permet désormais de faire des chronos hyper constants… Mais cette régularité lui permettra-t-elle de décrocher la victoire ?"
