325 00:22:15,567 --> 00:22:18,600 In that case, up next is the race between "Project D" and the "Sidewinder". 326 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,667 What do you think of this race? 327 00:22:20,667 --> 00:22:22,167 You are really straightforward with the question. 328 00:22:22,667 --> 00:22:24,333 It's a shame, 329 00:22:25,233 --> 00:22:27,533 but the "Sidewinder" will probably win. 330 00:22:28,867 --> 00:22:31,133 My answer is the same 331 00:22:31,133 --> 00:22:35,100 I admire Ryosuke Takahashi as a person. 332 00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:38,400 Although I shouldn't say this as a racer from the Kanagawa region, 333 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,467 I do hope that the "Project D" can win. 334 00:22:42,133 --> 00:22:43,600 However, this is impossible. 335 00:22:44,033 --> 00:22:46,533 The "Sidewinder" has had ample time to prepare. 336 00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:49,500 As long as they have the strategist "Eiji Kubo", 337 00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:51,033 they have no flaws. 338 00:22:51,567 --> 00:22:54,533 But you never know the result until the last moment. 339 00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:58,233 The "Project D" is not entirely without a chance to win. 340 00:22:58,833 --> 00:23:02,067 Their only hope is the growth of the racers. 341 00:23:02,833 --> 00:23:05,967 Their odds of winning are about one in five. 342 00:23:05,967 --> 00:23:09,333 That's a 20 percent chance of winning. 343 00:23:10,867 --> 00:23:13,233 It feels like things are getting pretty serious. 344 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,467 There are more people than ever standing on the road with their stopwatches. 345 00:23:18,967 --> 00:23:21,133 They have no better things to do? 346 00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:22,833 If you put it this way, 347 00:23:22,833 --> 00:23:26,967 we are the same for going all the way from Gunma to Hakone to race. 348 00:23:27,367 --> 00:23:29,033 That's a valid point. 349 00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:31,900 They are calculating our time in sections. 350 00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:34,567 And it seems like they've divided the sections very finely. 351 00:23:34,567 --> 00:23:36,733 This is really annoying 352 00:23:36,733 --> 00:23:39,033 being investigated like this. 353 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,000 Should I set a false record for them? 354 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,367 No need to. 355 00:23:43,367 --> 00:23:44,800 Just do as you usually do. 356 00:23:45,633 --> 00:23:50,167 If your rash actions lead to insufficient practice, I wouldn't be happy. 357 00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:54,267 Now that we've come this far, let's just do things in our usual style. 358 00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:56,667 I understand. 359 00:23:56,667 --> 00:23:58,700 Let them have a good look then. 360 00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:02,233 Let them understand what the strongest team in North Kanto is like. 361 00:24:02,967 --> 00:24:05,233 Yes, that's exactly what I mean. 362 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,300 How would you like to adjust? 363 00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:09,533 Switch the chassis system to C mode. 364 00:24:09,533 --> 00:24:11,633 And add 10 liters of gasoline. 365 00:24:15,033 --> 00:24:16,633 Takumi, have you noticed? 366 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,967 I heard that the whole road is covered by their entire investigation unit. 367 00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:22,967 Keisuke just told us. 368 00:24:22,967 --> 00:24:25,167 A bunch of people are holding stopwatches. 369 00:24:25,167 --> 00:24:26,200 For you. 370 00:24:27,433 --> 00:24:29,867 They certainly have a lot of people. 371 00:24:29,867 --> 00:24:31,967 But none of them are running their stopwatches. 372 00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:37,600 From the first race in Kanagawa, there were people keeping time records. 373 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,333 I think these are the same people. 374 00:24:40,333 --> 00:24:42,133 A few of them are familiar faces. 375 00:24:42,567 --> 00:24:45,133 But today they are not timing. 376 00:24:45,133 --> 00:24:46,767 Takumi, is that true? 377 00:24:46,767 --> 00:24:47,800 Yes. 378 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,767 He noticed all this while still practicing. 379 00:24:51,267 --> 00:24:53,900 This guy... is quite amazing. 380 00:24:54,967 --> 00:24:57,333 Ryosuke, what is going on? 381 00:24:57,333 --> 00:24:59,967 It's different from what Keisuke said. 382 00:24:59,967 --> 00:25:01,133 Don't worry about it. 383 00:25:01,133 --> 00:25:03,800 They are both right. 384 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,567 This is within my expectations. 385 00:25:12,333 --> 00:25:17,500 Then...The time finally came. The morning of the final race in Kanagawa.
