Kanata Rivington arrives in Japan from England with the intention of racing in a relatively new motorsports category that's taken the world by storm: MFG.

Kanata begins his qualifying run around the 40 kilometer-long Odawara Pikes Peak, aiming to set a quick time. But with a seriously underpowered car compared to his rivals, how high up the leaderboard can he get?

Impressing everyone with his drifting abilities, Kanata aims to finish his qualifying lap with a flourish. But with a long straight just before the line exposing his car's deficiencies, will he make it into the race proper?

The two-lap race of Odawara Pikes Peak is underway. With his tires now up to temperature, can Kanata start making his way through the field despite his power disadvantage?

While everyone is suitably impressed with what Kanata is achieving, there are battles up and down the field, and it quickly becomes apparent that the 86 isn't the only car the MFG viewers should be keeping a close eye on.

Kanata managed to haul the 86 up to unexpected heights at Odawara Pikes Peak, but the next race is on a course that is a lot flatter with fewer downhill sections where he can make up for his car's lack of power, so it's time to tune his ride!

Ren's mother discovers the secret to Kanata's prodigious talent and the two reminisce about his much-missed mother, Katherine. Meanwhile, Sawatari's monster lap has unsettled the drivers who are still yet to set a time.

Katagiri Kanata shows what he's made of in the race on the Ashinoko track! With daring drifts through the dangerous "Death Zone," he secures a provisional eighth place despite tough competition and technical challenges.

A mistake by Oishi sees him exit the race, but he's not the only driver experiencing difficulties as the rain intensifies.

A new rival, Moroboshi Sena, arrives on the scene and introduces himself to Kanata.

The third race on the MFG calendar at the Peninsula Manazaru gets underway and Kanata takes to the course with a major upgrade to the 86.

Kanata sets a rapid time in qualifying, but his mere presence on the grid has seemingly raised the level of a number of his competitors.
