The two-lap race of Odawara Pikes Peak is underway. With his tires now up to temperature, can Kanata start making his way through the field despite his power disadvantage?

Kanata zooms up to the back of the Yashi-Kita Gang in no time, but getting past them is another matter entirely. Meanwhile, the two leaders go wheel-to-wheel for the lead of the race.

While everyone is suitably impressed with what Kanata is achieving, there are battles up and down the field, and it quickly becomes apparent that the 86 isn't the only car the MFG viewers should be keeping a close eye on.

After making up a bunch of places in the death zone, Kanata enters the final sector, but with the long straight at the end of the lap highlighting the 86's main weakness, can he hold on to his current position all the way to the checkered flag?

Ren's mother discovers the secret to Kanata's prodigious talent and the two reminisce about his much-missed mother, Katherine. Meanwhile, Sawatari's monster lap has unsettled the drivers who are still yet to set a time.

A mistake by Oishi sees him exit the race, but he's not the only driver experiencing difficulties as the rain intensifies.

As the competitors enter their third and final lap, the rain starts to ease, but the change in weather conditions brings with it something unexpected.

After schooling the rest of the field on how to drive through the fog, Kanata emerges from the white wall with a big gap to the car behind. Can he stay in front? Meanwhile, the two leaders do battle once more.

Taking advantage of the superior horsepower of his Ferrari, Akaba is hunting Kanata down, and with them running out of road, it'll be a desperate dash to the line for both drivers.

Kanata sets a rapid time in qualifying, but his mere presence on the grid has seemingly raised the level of a number of his competitors.

Much to his relief, Kanata manages to save Ren in the nick of time, but he bangs his elbow in the process and shifting gears is now a problem. How will he fare in the Peninsula race?
