Summary[]
The 86 enters out of the Slip Trap and Kanata continues going through the course as he moves into provisional 9th, which shocks Aiba as he got overtaken by Kanata in just his 2nd qualifying run. Meanwhile, 2 viewers at a restaurant are also shocked that the 86 moved into the single-digits, as in the previous race, Kanata barely made it in due to one of the cars being disqualified. One of them wonders if they got the 86 tuned up heavily for this round, but the other one still points out that it's an 86 going up against a lot of high-performing cars.
The 86 makes it around the Kojiri Port Hairpin, still in 9th place, with Tanaka being shocked as it's still being powered by a "2-Liter N.A. Engine". Ren asks her dad what that means, with him answering that "2 liters" means that the engine produces around 2,000 Cubic Centimeters (CC) or Displacement, and "N.A." means "Naturally Aspirated", meaning that it is not powered by a turbocharger. Ren then asks what a Turbocharger does to your car, with her dad saying that it's comparable to having around 2-3 times the displacement force. Ren then wonders why Kanata's performing so well on a car that has a lack of power, and compares his tricks to that of a wizard, which is something that fits Kanata's driving according to Mr. Saionji.
The 86 weaves through the forest section of the East-side of the Ashinoko GT course, still keeping its position. At the same time, Okuyama is viewing Kanata's run at Spiral Zero, and notes that due to every course having there own suspension profile, he has plans for Manazuru, Double Lane and Atami. He then also notes that due to MFG being built-up by the old Gunma street racers, he'll remind them due to Okuyama being from Kanagawa. The 86 now moves up into 8th place, with Aiba noting that Kanata is not afraid of how long his lateral G's are, compared to the normal "V-shaped line" most drivers use. And thanks to Okuyama's tuning, the 86 is perfectly set up for Kanata's driving style.
The 86 then moves onto the Sector 3 and moves up into 7th. Tanaka then wonders how high-up the standings will Kanata get in his 2nd race.
