Ren and Kanata continue their tour of Kamakura in the hopes of finding the place where Kanata's parents took their photograph together.

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?

Kanata zooms up to the back of the Yashi-Kita Gang in no time, but getting past them is another matter entirely. Meanwhile, the two leaders go wheel-to-wheel for the lead of the race.

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.

Qualifying begins for the second race of the season, which is set to take place at Lake Ashinoko. With Kanata set to do his run on a later day, other drivers get their moment to shine.

On the wet track, Kanata Katagiri impresses with his driving skills. Despite difficult weather conditions, he remains steady in the race, while his competitors struggle with the weather.

Katagiri Kanata drives his Toyota 86 GT remarkably fast, even though he lacks grip on the wet road, and overtakes several more powerful cars. Ikeda praises Kanata's precise driving technique and his experience on European racetracks, which help him under these conditions.

While Kanata continues to keep pace in the wet conditions with the ever-expanding third-place group, Sawatari dukes it out with Beckenbauer for the lead of the race.

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.

Much to his relief, Kanata manages to save Ren in the nick of time, but he bangs his elbow in the process and shifting gears is now a problem. How will he fare in the Peninsula race?
