﻿1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,830
This'll be a good lesson for that cocky kid.

2
00:00:06,510 --> 00:00:11,250
There's a clear difference in experience 
between an MFG driver in his first race,

3
00:00:11,250 --> 00:00:13,470
and one in his third.

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,090
Sena's biggest strength is 
how monstrously quickly he learns.

5
00:00:18,780 --> 00:00:25,120
He has a prodigious talent for absorbing
 what he experiences and using it himself.

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,980
Did you tell Sena about the weakness in 
Katagiri Kanata's style the boss told us about?

7
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:36,160
Hell no. If he can't figure it while he's out there
racing him, there's no point doing this.

8
00:00:42,330 --> 00:00:44,090
This is humiliating.

9
00:00:44,090 --> 00:00:47,500
He overwhelmed me emotionally,
and I couldn't do a damn thing.

10
00:00:47,950 --> 00:00:52,340
When it comes to Gunma pride, 
Katagiri Kanata outdid me.

11
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,520
Katagiri Kanata is ahead now?

12
00:00:57,870 --> 00:01:01,520
In all honesty, he strikes me
 as the bigger problem.

13
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,520
Katagiri Kanata

14
00:01:02,910 --> 00:01:06,020
And now that she's available, 
let's chat with Marie-chan—

15
00:01:06,020 --> 00:01:09,520
I-Is there some reason you look so eager
 to be asked about this?

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,340
I feel like your plans for summer 
won't amount to much, but I'll ask anyway.

17
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:18,410
So mean. Aren't you being
 a little harsh, Uehara-san?

18
00:01:19,450 --> 00:01:21,530
My plans for summer...

19
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:24,660
involve a strategy for losing weight!

20
00:01:24,940 --> 00:01:27,870
Whether I like it or not, 
I'll go to the gym and sweat a bunch

21
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:31,130
until my body is perfect
 for a cute swimsuit,

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,770
and then, I'll seduce you, Uehara-san.

23
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,930
I see.

24
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,760
I won't get my hopes up,
 but I wish you luck.

25
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:42,260
Now, head back to your position, yeah?

26
00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:44,760
You're so mean, Uehara-san!

27
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:50,830
How are you going to 
get past that Porsche?

28
00:01:51,650 --> 00:01:53,990
I couldn't pull it off, 
no matter what I tried,

29
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:56,110
but I get the feeling you can.

30
00:01:56,110 --> 00:01:58,410
Show me what you've got, 
so I can learn from it.

31
00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:01,410
Take me into a zone 
I've never seen before.

32
00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:38,000
MF Ghost

33
00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:40,070


34
00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:43,890
Into the Final Lap

35
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:48,940
The trio negotiate City Hall corner.

36
00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:51,810
They're almost done with
the peninsula section for a fourth lap.

37
00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:56,860
The 885 car has fallen back a place
after a failed overtake on the 1 car,

38
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,910
and almost as if taking up the baton 
from his fellow rookie,

39
00:04:00,910 --> 00:04:03,860
the 86 is now in position 
to strike and pass the 1!

40
00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:05,170
Don't look away, folks.

41
00:04:05,170 --> 00:04:08,360
Since a fire was lit under Katagiri Kanata,
he's shot through the field

42
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,240
with the precision of a sniper.

43
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,750
Will the former champ manage to prevent
the red bullet from hitting its mark?

44
00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:19,090
Katagiri Kanata has this uncanny knack
 that must frighten other drivers.

45
00:04:19,350 --> 00:04:23,090
Ishigami-kun's probably in a cold sweat,
even if he'd never admit it.

46
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,180
They blast past the post office
 at full throttle.

47
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:31,370
And once again, the scent 
of danger is in the air!

48
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:36,440
This is it. He's gonna try something.

49
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:39,690
The 86 is pulsing with 
aggression right now.

50
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,680
And there he goes!
 The 86 makes its move!

51
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,170
And he's through!

52
00:04:58,450 --> 00:05:02,450
The 86 pulls ahead of the 1 car!

53
00:05:03,340 --> 00:05:08,540
Another split-second kill!
Even Ishigami Fujin couldn't stop him!

54
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:11,940
What in the world did we
 just see, Akiyama-san?

55
00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:13,540
A surprise, for sure.

56
00:05:13,540 --> 00:05:16,310
I never even considered 
that kind of maneuver.

57
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:20,380
He took advantage of an inherent
weakness in European supercars.

58
00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:26,860
There's a pronounced height difference
in the roads on that second hairpin,

59
00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:32,290
meaning a car with lower ground 
clearance can't take the shortest line.

60
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:39,160
The 86 isn't that much higher off the 
ground, but relative to the 911 GT3,

61
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,570
it had enough to daringly cut inside.

62
00:05:41,570 --> 00:05:44,380
The chassis struck the road.
Will that be a problem?

63
00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:46,400
I even saw sparks.

64
00:05:47,090 --> 00:05:48,880
Holy cow.

65
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,890
I don't think it'll be a problem.

66
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,640
Kanata's playing rough today.

67
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:06,100
And onto the back straightaway!

68
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:10,490
This is the stretch with 
the second-highest recorded speeds.

69
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,450
Can the 1 car with its superior 
horsepower come back at him?

70
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,990
This stretch until the Nushiya corner 
allows them to open the throttle,

71
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:23,960
but due to the undulating nature of
the road, there's only one ideal line.

72
00:06:24,380 --> 00:06:26,960
I'm very impressed with Katagiri Kanata.

73
00:06:27,370 --> 00:06:31,220
He's positioning his car perfectly 
to stop the 1 from getting past.

74
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,260
I think we can now be sure that the 86 
has received a substantial upgrade

75
00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:39,230
under the hood for this third race.

76
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,960
Otherwise, no matter 
how perfect his line was,

77
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,980
he wouldn't be able to fend off
 the 1 car on this back straight.

78
00:06:47,950 --> 00:06:50,120
They enter the Nushiya corner.

79
00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:54,490
He first pulls the kinda tricks 
you only see in street racing,

80
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:58,930
and now he's showing the experience
of a seasoned racing driver.

81
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,500
Nice. The stronger the enemy, 
the more satisfying it is to beat 'em.

82
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:06,670
Now I'm really fired up!

83
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,010
Getting old is no fun at all.

84
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,020
Incredible.

85
00:07:18,430 --> 00:07:21,730
He's displaying a different kind
of prowess from the first two races.

86
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,570
Something must've awakened 
inside Katagiri Kanata.

87
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:34,200
Was this otherworldy sprinting prowess
 nurtured by that genius downhill racer?

88
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:42,870
Our lead group finishes up its fourth lap
 and heads into the final lap.

89
00:07:43,310 --> 00:07:48,130
Michael Beckenbauer. 
Sawatari Koki. And Akaba Kaito.

90
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:52,330
With the 2 leading the way, 
it's a three-way brawl for first.

91
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:58,640
And six seconds back is the 86,
 fresh from its latest skirmish!

92
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,390
He's all the way back up to fourth,
and is showing no signs of slowing down.

93
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,400
The super rookie is really 
earning that title today!

94
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160
Katagiri Kanata's awesome!

95
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,150
Knock Beckenbauer off his perch!

96
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:16,160
Ishigami in the 1 car is in fifth, 
with Moroboshi's 885 in sixth.

97
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,080
Oishi in the 3 is seventh.
Yanagida in the 6 is eighth.

98
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,090
Maezono's 13 car is in ninth.
Sakamoto's 14 is in tenth.

99
00:08:24,090 --> 00:08:25,870
Aiba in the 9 runs 11th.

100
00:08:26,170 --> 00:08:30,430
Yashio's 12 is in 12th.
 Kitahara in the 18 car is 13th.

101
00:08:30,430 --> 00:08:32,430
Taylor in the 8 is 14th.

102
00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:34,630
And Otani's 7 car in 15th.

103
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:37,140
These 15 sprinters 
will now go flat-out...

104
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:40,850
to gain as much ground as they can.

105
00:08:44,860 --> 00:08:49,320
I'd like to ask about something 
that's been on my mind, Akiyama-san.

106
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,070
Shoot.

107
00:08:50,380 --> 00:08:55,590
Is there a reason the lights in the 
three tunnels have been turned off?

108
00:08:56,140 --> 00:08:59,950
This might be a good chance to explain.

109
00:09:00,390 --> 00:09:02,980
MFG as a racing series
was originally started

110
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:07,210
with the intention of reviving areas
affected by the eruption of Mount Fuji.

111
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,350
I'm sure fans are aware that 
a significant portion of the proceeds

112
00:09:12,350 --> 00:09:15,220
is donated to the areas
 that were hardest hit.

113
00:09:15,790 --> 00:09:18,970
The natural disaster resulted
in a protracted period

114
00:09:18,970 --> 00:09:23,340
where infrastructure shut down, leaving
residents without electricity for a time.

115
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,680
Shutting off the lights in the tunnel
 is a reminder of those events

116
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,440
by MFG's organizers.

117
00:09:31,950 --> 00:09:35,110
It's also for this very same reason

118
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:40,950
that all five MFG courses include 
hazards that reflect the Fuji eruption.

119
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:45,810
I can see why the organizing committee 
chose you as a spokesman, Akiyama-san.

120
00:09:45,810 --> 00:09:48,790
You have a wealth of fascinating 
insights into their vision.

121
00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:54,630
And now, back to the race.
Into the Black and White they go!

122
00:09:59,130 --> 00:10:04,250
He's left the most enticing line open.
 I'm not sure what he's planning,

123
00:10:04,250 --> 00:10:09,270
but if there's space to overtake,
 my policy is to go for it.

124
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:15,400
Go on, horsepower honcho. 
Give him a taste of your top speed.

125
00:10:16,060 --> 00:10:19,190
The 2 moves out from the 12's slipstream.

126
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:21,700
And the 4's right behind him!

127
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,120
You were aiming for 
that pocket of air all along?

128
00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:27,590
Well played, Sawatari.

129
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,290
How d'ya like me now?

130
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,250
You enjoying your taste
 of that monstrous 670 horsepower?

131
00:10:33,250 --> 00:10:38,760
The Midnight Straight on this final lap 
is turning into an test of strength.

132
00:10:39,170 --> 00:10:42,430
The acoustics of the tunnel 
enhance the music of the Ferrari.

133
00:10:42,770 --> 00:10:45,250
And he passes both cars!

134
00:10:45,250 --> 00:10:48,770
First down to third 
have all switched places!

135
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:57,420
There's the lead group.

136
00:10:58,330 --> 00:11:00,280
Will I be able to catch them?

137
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,690
Fujiwara-sensei always told me:

138
00:11:03,690 --> 00:11:07,040
"When you want to achieve something, 
don't frame it like a question."

139
00:11:07,730 --> 00:11:09,990
"Make it a statement in the future tense."

140
00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:14,400
I </i>can<i> do this. I </i>will<i> catch them.

141
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,180
MF Ghost.

142
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,490
And through he goes!

143
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,580
The 885 finally blasts past the 1 car!

144
00:11:52,580 --> 00:11:54,570
He passed him around the outside.

145
00:11:54,570 --> 00:11:58,590
I believe he imitated Katagiri Kanata
 in the line he took.

146
00:11:59,310 --> 00:12:02,420
Despite only seeing it two or three times,

147
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:05,720
he seems on the verge of 
getting that ability down pat.

148
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,970
It's a real surprise. He's proving 
to be a fearsome rookie.

149
00:12:11,270 --> 00:12:14,230
He's a different type of driver
 than Katagiri Kanata,

150
00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:17,770
but I sense huge potential for growth,
albeit on a path that's hard to predict.

151
00:12:26,620 --> 00:12:29,610
Aiba Shun. So you've made it this far up.

152
00:12:29,970 --> 00:12:33,120
But I'll stop you in your tracks
if it's the last thing I do!

153
00:12:33,540 --> 00:12:36,480
Here we have two drivers 
who seem to butt heads regularly.

154
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,710
Both are heavyweights 
with comparable power.

155
00:12:39,710 --> 00:12:42,640
Is this going to be another clash 
between the pair?

156
00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:45,630
And back to the lead group!

157
00:12:45,970 --> 00:12:49,650
The 2 car's superior power
 is on full display.

158
00:12:49,650 --> 00:12:52,140
The two cars behind can't catch him.

159
00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:11,160
I can't keep up. What's this guy's deal?

160
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,610
The 2 car charges onward, 
with the 4 and the 15 giving chase.

161
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:18,480
Akaba-kun's taken the lead,

162
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,930
and I reckon the peninsula section
 is where he'll win or lose it.

163
00:13:22,460 --> 00:13:27,180
His previous best there is nowhere near
Beckenbauer's or Sawatari-kun's.

164
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,390
So if Akaba-kun is still in the lead
 at the end of that section,

165
00:13:32,390 --> 00:13:36,240
I'd say he has one hand
 on the winner's trophy.

166
00:13:36,890 --> 00:13:41,650
The two cars behind 
won't make it easy, though.

167
00:13:41,650 --> 00:13:46,900
Those two have proven they're the 
cream of the crop in this season of MFG.

168
00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:49,910
And there they go.

169
00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:54,200
Next up, the peninsula section, and the 
course is named after it for good reason.

170
00:13:54,970 --> 00:13:57,840
But we can't forget about this car
that's chasing them down!

171
00:13:58,420 --> 00:14:01,360
The holder of the record 
for this section: Katagiri Kanata.

172
00:14:01,830 --> 00:14:05,190
The fastest man on the peninsula
 is coming their way!

173
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Katagiri-kun is particularly fast
 in this stretch.

174
00:14:09,790 --> 00:14:12,800
You could even say, given his 
previous trouble in this area,

175
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,390
Akaba-kun being in the lead presents
 an opportunity for Katagiri-kun.

176
00:14:17,390 --> 00:14:19,820
How much ground can he gain on them?

177
00:14:19,820 --> 00:14:23,230
You'll wanna keep your eyes 
glued to this race, folks!

178
00:14:25,330 --> 00:14:29,200
This is bad. I'm so tense, 
my stomach's killing me.

179
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,690
I'm gonna puke.

180
00:14:30,690 --> 00:14:33,160
Please don't. Not in here.

181
00:14:33,810 --> 00:14:37,020
At this point, there's not a whole lot
 we can do from this end.

182
00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:40,560
Feel free to go to the bathroom 
to take care of business.

183
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,920
I can't.

184
00:14:43,470 --> 00:14:46,540
I can't leave the booth. Not now.

185
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:54,180
We're on the final lap, and my partner's
out there on a miracle run.

186
00:14:57,500 --> 00:14:58,730
They're closing up!

187
00:14:59,030 --> 00:15:02,710
The gaps between 
the top three are shrinking!

188
00:15:03,090 --> 00:15:07,500
But these peninsula roads are narrow, 
and overtaking will be a tall order.

189
00:15:09,190 --> 00:15:13,020
Akaba Kaito is spurred on by his pride
 as last year's second-placed driver.

190
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:15,950
The prancing horse is 
determined to get away!

191
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,680
What's wrong? Shake a leg, Sawatari.

192
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,330
Passing the 2 should 
be child's play for us.

193
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,590
I'm letting you make the first move.

194
00:15:26,830 --> 00:15:29,730
All three cars are bumper to bumper,

195
00:15:29,730 --> 00:15:33,220
and it's hard to ignore the feeling 
that something's about to happen.

196
00:15:35,220 --> 00:15:40,940
The one advantage this car has 
over the Ferrari is that it's lighter.

197
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,570
If I wanna make the most
 of that advantage...

198
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,070
a downhill battle on the brakes
 seems the best way!

199
00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:59,660
I've never liked guys like you,

200
00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:03,290
who chase any girls 
that cross their path.

201
00:16:07,380 --> 00:16:09,380
Where's the beauty in that?

202
00:16:10,420 --> 00:16:12,970
My Seventeen Complex, 
on the other hand...

203
00:16:12,970 --> 00:16:15,450
is the embodiment of my aesthetic!

204
00:16:15,450 --> 00:16:18,320
And the 4 car takes the lead!

205
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,560
Sawatari Koki is now in first place!

206
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:26,600
If you ask me, a womanizer with 
no standards could never be as cool...

207
00:16:27,260 --> 00:16:28,860
as a fetish enthusiast.

208
00:16:31,470 --> 00:16:33,180
Sawatari Koki is a beast!

209
00:16:33,180 --> 00:16:37,870
His overflowing fighting spirit 
led to a fearsome overtake.

210
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,870
Now try to hold that snotty German back
for as long as you can, Akaba-san.

211
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:44,780
That way, I can build up a decent margin.

212
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,430
And wait, is that the 12
making its move?

213
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,840
The 2 crosses behind the 12 
in an attempt to go on the attack.

214
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,270
He's relying on horsepower alone
to pass him around the outside.

215
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:11,780
But he fails! The first fork on the 
course ends up blocking his path!

216
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:14,830
Akaba Kaito drops to third!

217
00:17:14,830 --> 00:17:16,110
Damn it.

218
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,620
Aw, crap. Michael's already on my tail.

219
00:17:24,970 --> 00:17:29,130
Unbelievable. What are you 
doing back there, Akaba-san?

220
00:17:29,130 --> 00:17:32,630
This is every bit as 
shocking as it is brutal!

221
00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:34,960
Akaba Kaito has been crushed.

222
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,640
Out of respect for Akaba-kun...

223
00:17:38,250 --> 00:17:42,330
I'll point out that he made no mistakes
and there were no issues with his driving.

224
00:17:42,330 --> 00:17:47,140
It's just the two drivers he's up against 
are driving at a truly absurd level.

225
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,810
They're fundamentally built different.

226
00:17:49,810 --> 00:17:54,650
That was evident when they both 
set course records in qualifying.

227
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,320
This is really turning
 into a wild season.

228
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,040
The new generation is improving too fast
for the veterans and journeymen to keep up.

229
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,100
They've been left behind.

230
00:18:05,930 --> 00:18:10,670
Those maniacs. They don't even hesitate 
at the thought of trading paint,

231
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:15,560
nor think twice about the kind of 
roughhousing that can get them flagged.

232
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,940
I'll never forget how
 frustrating this feels.

233
00:18:26,250 --> 00:18:29,440
Katagiri Kanata? Where'd he spring from?

234
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,970
The Mitsuishi corner!

235
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,240
Here he goes!

236
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,940
The 86 is making a move
 down the inside!

237
00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:40,700
They're side-by-side! It's getting tight!

238
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,700
And he's through!

239
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:48,200
An overtake!

240
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,340
Katagiri Kanata reclaims third place!

241
00:18:51,710 --> 00:18:53,550
That was razor-sharp.

242
00:18:53,550 --> 00:18:59,440
And a reminder that all three of 
these drivers set new course records!

243
00:19:00,220 --> 00:19:04,550
And lest we forget, Katagiri Kanata set 
the record for this peninsula section!

244
00:19:04,550 --> 00:19:08,730
He's driving like he wants 
to remind us of that fact!

245
00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:20,280
I exited on a slightly wider
 line than I visualized.

246
00:19:20,890 --> 00:19:23,250
I'm starting to understeer.

247
00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:28,380
What an incredible race.

248
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:31,040
The Odawara studio is buzzing.

249
00:19:31,330 --> 00:19:34,430
Our leaders are now zooming 
through the coastal area.

250
00:19:34,790 --> 00:19:38,300
Look at the distances! 
The 86 has really dug in deep!

251
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:42,300
There's no telling what the outcome 
of this race might be at this point.

252
00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:46,930
And this tricolor group of cars 
continue to duke it out!

253
00:19:56,270 --> 00:20:01,230
On any other day, Aiba's tires would be 
so worn, he'd be slowing down by now.

254
00:20:01,570 --> 00:20:04,450
So why the hell isn't the same true today?

255
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,240
If anything, it's </i>my<i> front 
that's starting to feel jumpy.

256
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,460
Can't believe my mid-engine 4x4 handicap
has come to bite me so late in the game.

257
00:20:14,890 --> 00:20:18,340
The two cars fighting over ninth
are approaching the third fork!

258
00:20:18,830 --> 00:20:22,090
We've seen such drama
at this point of the course already,

259
00:20:22,340 --> 00:20:26,460
and now, it looks like Aiba in the 9
has something up his sleeve!

260
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,920
But can he pull it off?

261
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:34,230
Whoa!

262
00:20:34,230 --> 00:20:36,850
He didn't go for it. 
Not even an attempt.

263
00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:42,610
Don't go getting your hopes up. 
I'm not a technical racer.

264
00:20:42,970 --> 00:20:44,680
And now...

265
00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:55,620
It's the 86!

266
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:06,670
The king, Beckenbauer, has just 
been usurped by a rookie!

267
00:21:06,670 --> 00:21:08,600
That pass was so smooth...

268
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,850
...it was like magic!

269
00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:13,600
I'm having trouble believing 
what I just saw.

270
00:21:13,870 --> 00:21:16,240
What the heck was that, Akiyama-san?

271
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,740
The gutter.

272
00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:22,600
He used the height difference 
between the asphalt and the shoulder.

273
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,820
But boy, that really takes me back.

274
00:21:26,170 --> 00:21:29,320
That was actually one of 
Fujiwara Takumi's favorite tricks.

275
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,280
I have to say, this kid 
never runs out of surprises.

276
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,330
Is it because of his tires?

277
00:21:37,580 --> 00:21:40,710
He never tried anything like that
 in any of the other races,

278
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:43,090
so if he was forced to do it here,

279
00:21:43,750 --> 00:21:47,680
are his tires starting 
to run out of grip?

280
00:23:32,490 --> 00:23:36,830
Next time, Turn 28: Their First Kiss.
