Plot[]

Hoshino sees Keisuke trailing behind him, and realises what his strategy is. He says that he was like Keisuke when he was younger, and wonders if it's why he hasn't lost yet.

Daiki sees that Keisuke is behind, and imagines that the race will be over in one lap. Sakai disagrees, saying that Keisuke is trying to preserve his tires for the downhill, as the FD has a slight advantage over the R34. He is excited to see the downhill, as it will decide the race.

Keisuke is nervous, and hopes that he can keep with the strategy.
