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.
