Plot

Junichi admits that Ikeda was right about his theory, as everyone he teaches improves rapidly. He notes that no one comes close to Ikeda, as he seems to drive so aggressively without making a single mistake. He doubts anyone will come close to him.

Ikeda and Keisuke speed through a corner. The crowd is impressed by Ikeda's driving, as despite the roads being wet he isn't hesitating. They think Keisuke is putting up a good fight, though they doubt he could go so fast without following.
