Summary[]
The sixth day of qualifying for the Ashinoko GT race begins, with Shun Aiba meeting Kanata and Ogata at the paddock. Ogata then asks Aiba why he's allowed in as only people running on Day 6 could enter the paddock, with Aiba answering that his face alone can get him into the facility. Aiba then tells Kanata that he needs to qualify atleast 12th if we wants to get into the race, with Kanata telling Aiba that due to the 86's upgrades, he'll get in as long as he doesn't make any mistakes. Meanwhile, Aiba is frustrated that Kanata is so calm doing into his qualifying round.
Meanwhile, at the Saionji residence, Ren notes that Mami is on shift today. Ren then tells her dad that she'll also watch the qualifiers with him, and asks if he could answer any of her questions, which he happily accepts. Ren also tells her mom if she would also like to watch Kanata's qualifying run, with Mayuko declining as she says that watching Kanata drive isn't so good for her heart, which Mr. Saionji disagreeing as Kanata has gone though special training, so his driving is top-notch. Ren then tells her dad to stop addressing Kanata as "Kanata-kun", as the 2 of them are not even related. However, her dad disagrees as he says that it always changes naturally overtime, where in actuality, he respects Kanata as he's also a fan of cars and racing, so he personally can't call him "Kanata" alone. He also notes that Ren treated him like family almost immediately, and his wife calls him "Kana-chan" of all things.
Yoji Tanaka greets the viewers tuning into Day 6 of qualifying, as not only is Fujin Ishigami qualifying today, but so is Kanata Katagiri, who came onto the MFG scene and made it into the Opening Round with an underpowered Toyota 86 GT. Tanaka also wonders how Kanata will do at a more flatter course, with others also saying that he has or hasn't got an edge over his competitors, but notes that they won't know until he begins his run.
The 86 then lines up at the starting line for the Ashinoko GT course, with Mami winking at Kanata and blowing a kiss to him, which angers Ren as she believes that violates the contract, as the Angels are not allowed to get too close to any particular drivers, and notes that she'll tell Uehara about it. The 86 begins its qualifying run for the Ashinoko GT race, with Aiba noting that the reason he came to watch Kanata's run in-person is that the monitors show off the telemetry data that they keep private. Aiba the notes that once he finds Kanata's secret, he'll take it. The 86 continues up the initial uphill start of the Ashinoko GT course, and passes the first checkpoint in provisional 13th place.
