Plot[]

Joshima takes the inside of the corner, and is able to pull ahead of Takumi. He hopes Takumi isn't too disappointed, as his performance in such an old car was exemplary. The crowd are amazed by what they've seen, and believe that the downhill is over.

Fumihiro hears from lower down the course, and tells Ryosuke that Takumi has been passed. Ryosuke admires Joshima's skill in being able to pass on such a narrow course, and is impressed by his ability to disorient his opponent. He wonders how the rest of the race will go, acknowledging that while the chances are slim, Takumi can still come back from this.

Joshima decides to sacrifice what is left of his tires to put some distance between him and Takumi.

Daiki and Sakai are surprised that the race lasted as long as it had, but that the outcome was inevitable.
