Kanata Rivington, procedente de Inglaterra y de ascendencia japonesa, llega a Japón en una búsqueda personal. En el seno de la familia que lo acoge, se cruza con la MFG, la famosa competición de carreras automovilísticas.

Comienza el séptimo y último día de la ronda clasificatoria de la MFG, y Kanata no tarda en hacerse notar por su ascenso fulgurante en la tabla de tiempos.

Después de dejar a todo el mundo boquiabierto con su temeraria conducción, Kanata se adentra en el tramo final de la carrera clasificatoria. ¿Logrará entrar en los 15 primeros y obtener un pase para la verdadera carrera?

Kanata logra inesperadamente colarse en los Quince Grandes por una descalificación, pero eso no le impide seguir los pasos que dieron su padre y su madre por Kamakura, acompañado de Ren.

La carrera da comienzo con un claro dominio de los modelos europeos, pero eso no amedrenta a los demás, y ni mucho menos a Kanata, que parece milagrosamente rápido pese al vehículo claramente inferior que pilota.

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.

On the approach to the death zone for the second time, Kanata starts to make his move. But does he have enough life left in his tires to climb up the order?

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?

Kanata managed to haul the 86 up to unexpected heights at Odawara Pikes Peak, but the next race is on a course that is a lot flatter with fewer downhill sections where he can make up for his car's lack of power, so it's time to tune his ride!

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.
