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.

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?

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.

On the wet track, Kanata Katagiri impresses with his driving skills. Despite difficult weather conditions, he remains steady in the race, while his competitors struggle with the weather.

Katagiri Kanata drives his Toyota 86 GT remarkably fast, even though he lacks grip on the wet road, and overtakes several more powerful cars. Ikeda praises Kanata's precise driving technique and his experience on European racetracks, which help him under these conditions.

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

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.

The third race on the MFG calendar at the Peninsula Manazaru gets underway and Kanata takes to the course with a major upgrade to the 86.

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?
