I run a tofu shop, and you want me to go to Akina Mountain?

"It's hard to say whether this game will win or lose."

Takahashi Ryosuke continued.

"As long as the cornering speed is pushed to the limit, the full driving potential of Toru Suetsugu can be stimulated. Because the power of the MX5 is not particularly strong, this has allowed Toru Suetsugu to hone his cornering skills to an exceptionally high level. Now that the MX5 has been modified, Toru Suetsugu's strength has increased greatly, and the 86 may indeed lose."

“The outcome is really unpredictable.”

Takahashi Keisuke nodded to show that he fully agreed with Takahashi Ryosuke's opinion.

"To some extent, Toru Suetsugu's growth path is similar to Takumi's. They both practiced by driving a car that wasn't particularly good, and when their skills reached a certain level, they changed the parts, and their overall strength had a qualitative leap."

Takahashi Ryosuke continued to explain.

But there are also differences between the two.

Takahashi Ryosuke said as he typed on his computer to analyze the data.

It's rare for Takahashi Ryosuke to say so much, which is not unrelated to the strong strength of Suetsugu.

When going downhill, it can be seen that Toru Suetsugu's strength is obviously higher than Kyoichi Sudo.

"what?"

Takahashi Keisuke asked.

Keisuke Takahashi, who had also watched the video of the Nishio Mountain Road countless times, didn't see the trick...

In his heart, Takahashi Keisuke admired his elder brother Takahashi Ryosuke's insight.

The key point of this mountain road will appear at the end of the race.

"The method of conquering that uncovered continuous side ditch will be the key to victory. As a local, Toru Suetsugu has the home advantage, while 86 does not have this advantage."

Takahashi Ryosuke explained.

"This……"

Takahashi Keisuke's forehead was covered with sweat. Could it be that the balance of victory has begun to tilt towards Suetsugu Toru!?

"Takumi, you must win!"

Takahashi Keisuke shouted with his fist clenched.

If the first expedition of Plan D has a bad start, it will be very unfavorable!

"Boom boom boom!"

Fujiwara Takumi in the 86 car was not nervous at all and continued to drive calmly.

"Squeak!"

Toru Suetsugu used his specialty - inertial drift.

The MX5 cuts through the curve in an instant.

"call out!"

Fujiwara Takumi was moving at full speed, and his power drift speed was no less fast, keeping close to the MX5.

At this time, more and more people gathered on the Riyan Mountain Road.

"Come to think of it, Gunma Prefecture's 86 is really powerful. They were able to chase after Suetsugu Toru so closely!"

"That's right!"

“Both cars are amazing!”

"But I think the winner in the end should be Toru Suetsugu's MX5. I don't believe the 86 can maintain this level from beginning to end. How many people can withstand Toru Suetsugu's beastly downhill turn?"

"Indeed..."

The spectators on both sides of the Rishiyama track were talking about it.

Of course, the locals prefer to support local drivers.

"Squeak!"

Until the 86th turn, 5 used power to drift again and followed closely behind MX.

No one has ever been able to follow me all the way here.

"It is certain that the 86 has been modified, and the driver must be an expert."

Toru Suetsugu became more serious, concentrating all his attention on the track and holding the steering wheel more firmly with both hands.

He knew that he could not make the slightest mistake.

"MX5 is fine."

Fujiwara Takumi chuckled softly while listening to the song. With his golden pupils, he could see the entire Nishio track.

"There is a trap in the last section of the road, the uncovered side drain. That will be where we decide the winner." Fujiwara Takumi said, squinting at the MX5.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The 86 and MX5 are speeding and are about to reach the C-21 hairpin turn!

Both the SSR team and the Plan D team deployed personnel at the C-21 hairpin turn, and reports came quickly over the walkie-talkie.

"Halfway through the race, I'm still being closely followed by 86. It's unbelievable!"

Junro Kawai was quite surprised after receiving the report from the SSR team members in the front.

I thought the 86 would be overtaken by the MX5 soon.

"I can't believe it!"

"Tōru, it's possible that 86 could chase him for so long downhill? SSR member Shinichi, who is also a big fan of Toru Suetsugu, had an exaggerated expression, unable to believe it.

“Che is a very competitive person, so I’m afraid he will accelerate impulsively. If he accelerates prematurely, it will disrupt the rhythm and make it more likely to cause an accident.

"This game is not a sure win."

"Even, the two cars may collide."

Junro Kawai said this very seriously.

The expressions of the other members of the SSR team also turned serious.

"call out!"

"call out!"

The 86 and MX5 passed the R-20 curve in an instant, and the acceleration when exiting the curve reached 130, which was very fast. The tachometers suddenly climbed to 8000 rpm, and both cars were speeding.

Normally, when entering a corner at high speed, the vehicle will slow down due to sliding or braking, but as long as the acceleration is fast enough, the speed loss can be reduced and recovered immediately. Whether it is the 86 or the MX5, the acceleration is very fast and almost perfect.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

The 86 and MX5 drifted continuously and both passed the C-21 hairpin turn perfectly.

"Wow!"

"too fast!"

The audience at C-21 couldn't help but gasp in amazement when they saw the 86 and MX5 flash by.

The wind created by the roaring car bodies blew away the long hair of some of the women watching the race.

"We must win!"

Toru Suetsugu muttered to himself in the MX5.

He suddenly remembered last night.

The conversation between Toru Suetsugu and his girlfriend:

"Che, you asked me to borrow money for a new tire. Fine, I can lend you the money, but there is a condition."

"If you lose this race, give up your dream of becoming a racing driver and live a good life. Racing doesn't seem to bring us any financial benefits. It's like a bottomless pit. You have to spend money on gas, modification, and accessories. If you lose, it means your driving skills have no future."

"If you break your promise, I...we will go our separate ways." His girlfriend's words echoed in Toru Suetsugu's ears for a long time.

Toru Suetsugu knew that his girlfriend's behavior was understandable. After all, they had been together for many years, and he always asked her for money.

I am lucky that my girlfriend didn't leave.

Not only did he spend every penny he earned from the last trip on the MX5, but he also had very little left for his girlfriend.

His girlfriend is a realist.

And Toru Suetsugu is a thorough idealist who is willing to give up the comfort of real life for the sake of his passion.

"I will never give up!"

Motoshi shouted loudly.

"Boom boom boom!"

Facing the 86 that was chasing him relentlessly, sweat broke out on Toru Motoshi's forehead. He decisively shifted up a gear and accelerated forward!

Step on the accelerator early!

For the sake of love and racing, he has to give both of them a try. He has to go all out for the last time and must win, no chance of losing!

"Boom boom boom!"

The MX5 completed a cool acceleration turn!

Full speed ahead!

Toru Suetsugu has reached his peak state, and his operations are becoming more and more precise.

The 86 behind him stimulated his potential.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Squeak!"
