In fifth, it's Moroboshi in the 885. 17 00:02:24,050 --> 00:02:27,200 This is a fierce clash between a former champ and an up-and-comer. 18 00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:30,760 Behind them, it's Oishi in sixth, Yanagida in seventh, 19 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,900 Maezono in eight, and—Whoa! 20 00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:37,400 A red car has appeared behind the 13 car! It's the 86! 21 00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:38,780 What's this? 22 00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:43,120 The gap separating these two was previously at seven seconds. 23 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,620 But in the transition from the peninsula to the inland roads, the 86 suddenly closed up! 24 00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:51,460 Kanata. 25 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,360 There's something visceral about the smell of burning rubber. 26 00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:58,840 I'm not sure I've ever been stationed so close to the course before. 27 00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:07,640 He's taking those curves at incredible speeds in spite of how narrow the roads are. 28 00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:10,770 MFG drivers really are amazing, Kanata. 29 00:03:11,870 --> 00:03:15,150 What was it Kyoko-san said during the opener? 30 00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:20,400 Romance isn't just about fun. There's plenty of hurt involved, too. 31 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:25,390 She was so right about that. I never knew how pitiful jealousy could make you feel. 32 00:03:26,410 --> 00:03:31,660 But you can't develop as a person if you're afraid of getting hurt. 33 00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:35,200 But if I avoid things because they're hard, I won't develop as a person. 34 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,180 And I've been avoiding something really important. 35 00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:44,550 I'm an MFG Angel, but I haven't told Kanata. 36 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,530 I'll tell him. When this race is over, I need to tell him. 37 00:03:56,230 --> 00:03:59,610 Is the 86 car going on the attack? 38 00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:06,320 It's clear he's going too fast, but his tires are holding their grip as he turns. 39 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480 Is the asphalt you're driving on different somehow? 40 00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:15,070 How the hell are you doing that when the laws of physics are supposed to be universal? 41 00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:17,170 He moves up! 42 00:04:17,170 --> 00:04:21,210 The 86 regains some of the ground it lost! 43 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:24,880 Watch out, Takuya! The 86 is coming for you! 44 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,890 What? I thought he had transmission trouble. 45 00:04:28,130 --> 00:04:30,940 I don't know the details, so I can't explain it, 46 00:04:30,940 --> 00:04:33,020 but he's hurtling through like a fireball. 47 00:04:33,020 --> 00:04:35,640 Don't do anything crazy, but keep him behind. Over. 48 00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:39,020 Keep him behind? Are you serious? 49 00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:46,030 Around the outside again? 50 00:04:46,030 --> 00:04:49,530 Are all the rookies this year insane? 51 00:04:51,330 --> 00:04:54,370 You've gotta be kidding me. If his tires are sliding like that, 52 00:04:54,850 --> 00:04:57,390 shouldn't he have zero grip by now? 53 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,870 And he takes off! 54 00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:07,760 After passing the 13 car, he overhauls the 6 in mere seconds! 55 00:05:09,050 --> 00:05:11,020 A stunning display of power. 56 00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:15,270 The 86 moves up another place! 57 00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:18,270 That's gotta be rough. 58 00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:23,280 It's none of my business, but I hope this won't traumatize you, Yanagida-kun. 59 00:05:23,550 --> 00:05:27,120 He's absolutely off the leash! A regular red bullet! 60 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,780 Is he in the "zone" or something? 61 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:36,790 I don't think we've ever seen this kind of fighting spirit from Katagiri Kanata before! 62 00:05:37,290 --> 00:05:37,420 Katagiri Kanata 63 00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:37,540 Katagiri Kanata 64 00:05:37,540 --> 00:05:37,670 Katagiri Kanata 65 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:37,800 Katagiri Kanata 66 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:37,920 Katagiri Kanata 67 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,050 Katagiri Kanata 68 00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:38,170 Katagiri Kanata 69 00:05:38,170 --> 00:05:38,300 Katagiri Kanata 70 00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:38,420 Katagiri Kanata 71 00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:38,550 Katagiri Kanata 72 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:38,800 Katagiri Kanata 73 00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:42,800 I'm glad Katagiri-kun's doing better again. 74 00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:47,720 And now for a chat with Mami-chan. What are your plans for the summer break? 75 00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:50,800 Nothing at the moment, but... 76 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,260 I don't have a lot of money, and everywhere's so expensive. 77 00:05:55,260 --> 00:05:58,810 So I'll probably just take it easy at a local café. 78 00:05:58,810 --> 00:06:02,850 That's so boring. Plus, it feels like a waste of your trademark dynamite body. 79 00:06:02,850 --> 00:06:07,820 What can I say? Even if I buy a cute swimsuit, I have no one to show it off to right now. 80 00:06:08,370 --> 00:06:09,720 Sorry if that's boring. 81 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:14,610 We now go to the group battling for 11th in the Black and White section. 82 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,950 In the 16, it's Yashio. 83 00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:18,830 In the 18, it's Kitahara. 84 00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:20,390 And in the 9, we have Aiba. 85 00:06:20,830 --> 00:06:23,340 This next right is where you make your move, Shun. 86 00:06:23,340 --> 00:06:25,000 Ease up as you go in, 87 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,760 then as you take the tighter line, go full throttle before the other two can! 88 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,010 Let's do it. 89 00:06:38,460 --> 00:06:40,700 Looking good, Shun! 90 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,110 You'll make good time down this straightway. 91 00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:48,010 Don't view it as passing individual cars. You've got to pull in front of both. Over. 92 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:48,990 Right. 93 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,620 Bro, this doesn't look good. The 9's really picking up speed. 94 00:06:53,620 --> 00:06:58,000 I know. Get in close, Nozomi. Don't let him sneak in between us. 95 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:03,650 Damn. That GTR really is fast. 96 00:07:05,590 --> 00:07:07,340 Good work, Shun! 97 00:07:07,340 --> 00:07:11,090 Keep it up in Eau Rouge! Test your mettle with a battle on the brakes! 98 00:07:11,090 --> 00:07:16,100 With the stability it has even at high speed, the GTR should be able to stand up to any car. 99 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,100 That Alfa and Lotus are no match for it! 100 00:07:19,930 --> 00:07:25,860 Don't forget, Shun! Your car is the best in the world: the Nissan GTR! 101 00:07:26,190 --> 00:07:28,190 And through goes the 9! 102 00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:31,320 He jumped up two positions in an instant! 103 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,280 The Kamikaze Outlaw is finally getting all fired up! 104 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,280 Aiba Shun 105 00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:37,280 That's the way. 106 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,660 Looking good out there, Aiba Shun. 107 00:07:40,690 --> 00:07:43,510 And now, a question for Big Sis Kyoko. 108 00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:46,210 What are your plans for the summer break? 109 00:07:46,210 --> 00:07:50,960 I'm not doing anything special over summer. I usually just go out for drinks. 110 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,550 And that's all? 111 00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:54,260 That's right. Every day. 112 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,210 Aw, come on, Big Sis. 113 00:07:56,210 --> 00:08:00,990 You're the leader of the Angels. You've gotta go with something more glamorous than that. 114 00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:03,560 But it's unbearably hot, no matter where you go. 115 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,480 Well, of course. It's summer. 116 00:08:07,340 --> 00:08:10,150 Guess they're pretty normal in their private time, huh? 117 00:08:10,510 --> 00:08:14,430 We go back to the 86 car, which has just negotiated the hairpin. 118 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,390 He's rapidly gaining speed with no signs of slowing down! 119 00:08:19,130 --> 00:08:22,520 Without doubt, he now has the use of second gear when shifting up. 120 00:08:23,230 --> 00:08:26,920 But this brings into question why he was lagging behind earlier in the race. 121 00:08:27,310 --> 00:08:29,820 How should we interpret this change, Akiyama-san? 122 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,380 I'm not sure. 123 00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:35,020 I can't even give you a theory at the moment. 124 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,890 It'd be better to ask him directly once the race is over. 125 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,990 You doing okay, Kanata? 126 00:08:41,310 --> 00:08:42,520 No problem. 127 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,940 Your arm isn't hurting? Over. 128 00:08:45,570 --> 00:08:47,440 I feel no pain at all. 129 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,480 What the hell is going on? 130 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,370 I think I've seen something like this on TV before. 131 00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:57,860 Maybe that's what this is? His brain releasing endorphins or whatever? 132 00:08:57,860 --> 00:09:00,240 I've heard of that kind of thing before. 133 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,740 But this feels like something else. 134 00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:09,250 Endorphins can't completely override pain that strong. 135 00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:14,580 If they could blank it out entirely in spite of the damage done to the body, 136 00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:19,510 something like that could potentially lead to taking fatal risks. 137 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:22,190 So I don't think that's what this is. 138 00:09:23,450 --> 00:09:25,270 And here's the battle for fourth! 139 00:09:25,270 --> 00:09:30,040 The 1 and the 885 are in an intense tussle for dominance. 140 00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:36,820 Ishigami, the beleaguered top dog, refuses to give way to the rookie, Moroboshi. 141 00:09:37,090 --> 00:09:40,120 Ishigami-kun can be pretty calculating in these situations. 142 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,830 You might describe him as a particularly tall hurdle. 143 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,520 He has some awesome traction. 144 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,470 I always figured the Matsumoto Concept Supra was the best, 145 00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:50,750 but I'm one step behind in every phase. 146 00:09:50,750 --> 00:09:54,760 It has awesome braking, too. I don't see a single gap in his armor. 147 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,260 I won't get anywhere with my regular driving style. 148 00:09:58,260 --> 00:10:00,680 I'll find a way past in the peninsula section. 149 00:10:04,010 --> 00:10:06,710 And the 2 car makes its move! 150 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:10,060 Akaba Kaito is turning up the wick! 151 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:17,320 Up in the lead, Beckenbauer is maintaining a conservative pace. 152 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,820 I get the feeling he may have some issue with pushing to the limit. 153 00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:25,330 And because he's taking it so steady, the 2's taking advantage and homing in! 154 00:10:25,790 --> 00:10:27,480 Akaba's joining us? 155 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,620 Good. I can use this. 156 00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:33,500 The last piece I needed for my puzzle has just fallen into place. 157 00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:36,000 Behind them is the group in fourth. 158 00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:40,680 The rampaging rookie seems to be finding the 1 car difficult to pass. 159 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,960 The peninsula section is very stop-and-go. 160 00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:50,000 He likely can't find a way past the GT3 due to its powerful traction and braking. 161 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,980 In spite of that, both are zipping along at a blazing pace. 162 00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:57,440 It's clear to see things are starting to move up and down the field. 163 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,740 And as the race heats up, let's check in on the car at the heart of it all: 164 00:11:03,130 --> 00:11:07,410 the 86, which is now chomping at the heels of the 3 car in sixth place! 165 00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:12,520 Katagiri Kanata's comeback is proving to be a must-watch! 166 00:11:15,730 --> 00:11:17,110 MF Ghost. 167 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,290 MF Ghost. 168 00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:29,810 Did the 86 get its act together? 169 00:11:29,810 --> 00:11:33,310 What's with this guy? He's yo-yoing up and down the leaderboard like crazy. 170 00:11:34,130 --> 00:11:35,860 But I won't let him past me. 171 00:11:35,860 --> 00:11:39,820 The Huracan's wide body makes it a mobile barricade. 172 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:45,450 Wow! And he attacks around the outside! 173 00:11:45,450 --> 00:11:48,220 Excuse you? What the hell are you doing? 174 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,420 And he pulls in front. Katagiri Kanata claims sixth place! 175 00:11:58,420 --> 00:12:02,920 He's been seizing positions from the Godly Fifteen like a bandit! 176 00:12:03,210 --> 00:12:05,910 That Katagiri Kanata sure is something. 177 00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:08,310 He smashes all the rules on how to race. 178 00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:12,270 Could you run us through that overtake one more time, Akiyama-san? 179 00:12:12,270 --> 00:12:14,310 It was godlike in its execution. 180 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:19,980 We've seen Katagiri Kanata slip around the outside of cars in corners before, 181 00:12:19,980 --> 00:12:23,070 but it requires a particular set of skills and sensibilities. 182 00:12:23,470 --> 00:12:27,600 Out-in-out is the standard when cornering, 183 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,700 so most drivers aren't careless enough to leave a gap on the outside. 184 00:12:31,170 --> 00:12:38,130 That means you decelerate on the outer edge, and only leave a space mid-corner. 185 00:12:38,770 --> 00:12:43,130 But Katagiri Kanata targets the tiny window where a car can fit into that gap. 186 00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:47,050 And he's been hitting that target perfectly every time. 187 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:50,620 A fraction too slow or too fast equals failure. 188 00:12:51,330 --> 00:12:54,650 Imagine a swordsman who's had years of practice, 189 00:12:54,650 --> 00:12:59,230 and who can dodge, then counter an enemy with the initiative with incredible consistency. 190 00:12:59,230 --> 00:13:01,530 It's like a guaranteed deathblow. 191 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,170 Katagiri Kanata might be English, 192 00:13:04,170 --> 00:13:08,460 but more than a few times now, he's given off the air of a samurai. 193 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,330 There's the spot. I'm gonna nail him. 194 00:13:17,210 --> 00:13:21,330 And the 885 goes on the attack! 195 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,060 Into Mitsuishi corner! 196 00:13:24,460 --> 00:13:26,930 He keeps him behind, but only just! 197 00:13:26,930 --> 00:13:33,560 The 885 successfully executed an overtake there on the previous lap, but not this time! 198 00:13:34,590 --> 00:13:37,500 The 1 car stands defiant! 199 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,060 It seems the 911 GT3 with its heavy rear has incredible stopping power, 200 00:13:43,060 --> 00:13:44,840 even when going downhill. 201 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,970 That's a painful lesson for a rookie like Moroboshi to learn. 202 00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:51,370 You can almost hear Ishigami saying, "MFG ain't that easy." 203 00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:56,790 I didn't make a single mistake back there. But that still wasn't enough to pass him. 204 00:13:57,150 --> 00:13:59,790 What am I supposed to do now? 205 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,450 You're up, Number Seven. 206 00:14:23,450 --> 00:14:24,360 Right. 207 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:24,490 Katagiri Kanata 208 00:14:24,490 --> 00:14:24,610 Katagiri Kanata 209 00:14:24,610 --> 00:14:24,740 Katagiri Kanata 210 00:14:24,740 --> 00:14:24,860 Katagiri Kanata 211 00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:24,990 Katagiri Kanata 212 00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:25,110 Katagiri Kanata 213 00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:25,240 Katagiri Kanata 214 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:25,360 Katagiri Kanata 215 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:25,740 Katagiri Kanata 216 00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:25,820 Katagiri Kanata 217 00:14:25,820 --> 00:14:25,910 Katagiri Kanata 218 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:28,110 Katagiri Kanata 219 00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:28,110 I'm glad he's back up near the top. 220 00:14:28,850 --> 00:14:30,190 Thank you, Kanata. 221 00:14:30,190 --> 00:14:33,190 And now her task's complete, a question for Number Seven. 222 00:14:33,190 --> 00:14:35,370 Can you tell us your plans for the summer break? 223 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,370 Well, it's something I've mentioned before. 224 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,720 I'm going to visit my grandma in Niigata. 225 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,890 That's pretty much it, though. 226 00:14:44,890 --> 00:14:47,150 No trips to the beach? 227 00:14:47,150 --> 00:14:50,930 I usually don't during the summer swimming season. 228 00:14:50,930 --> 00:14:52,390 I'd rather go to the library... 229 00:14:52,390 --> 00:14:57,020 ...and study with friends. I try to stay active, even if it's just with ordinary stuff. 230 00:14:57,430 --> 00:15:00,770 Is she, like, way younger than she looks? 231 00:15:00,770 --> 00:15:04,230 I wonder if Number Seven will ever do a glamour shoot. 232 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:06,380 Now, back to the group in fourth. 233 00:15:06,980 --> 00:15:11,490 It feels like the 885 has lost some of its fire. 234 00:15:11,790 --> 00:15:14,140 The constant attacking may have worn him down. 235 00:15:14,140 --> 00:15:17,110 His inability to pass the 1 may also make him feel stifled. 236 00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:20,270 Sometimes, you need to take a step back and catch your breath. 237 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,720 The camera picks up the group in fourth at the Unisei hairpin. 238 00:15:25,180 --> 00:15:28,340 And look! The red bullet has appeared! 239 00:15:29,270 --> 00:15:33,590 He's blitzing the downhill stretch beyond the woods! 240 00:15:34,460 --> 00:15:39,600 The 86 is gaining ground on the pair fighting over fourth! 241 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,600 Katagiri Kanata is making it look like he just suddenly warped to this spot! 242 00:15:43,870 --> 00:15:47,110 Say what? He's back in the game? 243 00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:52,990 All right, then. In that case, I'll worry about the Porsche later. 244 00:15:52,990 --> 00:15:57,700 My main aim going into this race was to have it out with you, after all. 245 00:16:04,590 --> 00:16:06,290 This time, it's happening for real! 246 00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:09,190 Now that Katagiri Kanata's back in the race... 247 00:16:09,190 --> 00:16:12,710 I didn't figure it'd happen so soon. 248 00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:15,800 This proxy war between the two aces of Project D. 249 00:16:16,250 --> 00:16:19,190 Who are you rooting for, Itsuki? 250 00:16:19,190 --> 00:16:22,310 There's never been any doubt in my mind from the very beginning. 251 00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:24,930 Takumi's my best friend. 252 00:16:24,930 --> 00:16:28,350 Even if Moroboshi is a Shibukawa local, 253 00:16:28,350 --> 00:16:31,560 there's no comparison in terms of investment for me. 254 00:16:32,090 --> 00:16:33,840 What about the two of you? 255 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,810 Wasn't Takumi the star of the Akina Speed Stars? 256 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,080 When he raced, he represented all of us. To uphold the pride of Akina! 257 00:16:41,330 --> 00:16:45,160 Against the Red Suns, the Night Kids... Even those maniacs in Emperor. 258 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,080 And he fought to hold the line! 259 00:16:48,410 --> 00:16:52,070 How could we not root for his student? 260 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,520 Itsuki's right. 261 00:16:55,970 --> 00:17:00,720 Takumi's the pride of Akina.

Katagiri Kanata holds the record for the peninsula section. 268 00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:39,380 Still, seeing him turn it around makes those early laps all the more regrettable. 269 00:17:39,380 --> 00:17:42,180 An intense attack like this can also be a double-edged sword. 270 00:17:42,850 --> 00:17:46,600 I imagine his tires are probably more worn than the other drivers. 271 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,760 It's hard to see him maintaining this kind of speed to the checkered flag. 272 00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:54,940 Looks like the 86 is behind the other car now. 273 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,780 Works for me. I couldn't have asked for more. 274 00:17:58,780 --> 00:18:04,180 The whole world's going to see me keeping these two superstar rookies behind me. 275 00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:08,800 I was the champion two years in a row. I need to make sure people don't forget that. 276 00:18:09,850 --> 00:18:13,790 Once across Manazuru Bridge, you arrive at the so-called Unbalanced corner. 277 00:18:14,370 --> 00:18:17,150 Ishigami Fujin.

It's my job to talk you through the action... 289 00:19:02,060 --> 00:19:04,820 ...but I found myself speechless just then. 290 00:19:04,820 --> 00:19:08,290 I'm having trouble processing what I just saw. 291 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,380 Akiyama-san, please help me out here. 292 00:19:11,380 --> 00:19:13,900 That was an intense overtake. 293 00:19:13,900 --> 00:19:18,250 The 86 forced its nose in at the narrowest point possible. 294 00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:21,910 It's hard to imagine anyone doing that at that spot. 295 00:19:21,910 --> 00:19:26,160 The 885 was effectively pushed out of the way, 296 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,830 but since his line wasn't actually blocked, I doubt there are grounds for a challenge. 297 00:19:32,370 --> 00:19:36,920 What we just saw falls under what MFG considers to be fair racing. 298 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:45,080 But in spite of that, the 885 car was forced to hold its line as if paralyzed. 299 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,770 That kind of driving is out of the question in circuit racing, 300 00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:53,190 so you could call it a monster that lurks within street racing, where you can't bail out. 301 00:19:53,470 --> 00:19:57,360 And it takes a devilish driving sense to draw that monster to the surface, 302 00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,260 as Katagiri Kanata just demonstrated. 303 00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:03,700 He passed Sena like it was nothing? 304 00:20:04,050 --> 00:20:05,560 Unbelievable. 305 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,080 I never figured he would beat Katagiri Kanata from the get-go. 306 00:20:09,910 --> 00:20:12,530 This'll be a good lesson for that cocky kid. 307 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,220 There's a clear difference in experience between an MFG driver in his first race, 308 00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:20,340 and one in his third. 309 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,110 Sena's biggest strength is how monstrously quickly he learns. 310 00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:31,950 He has a prodigious talent for absorbing what he experiences and using it himself. 311 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:37,860 Did you tell Sena about the weakness in Katagiri Kanata's style the boss told us about? 312 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:43,010 Hell no.
