Kamaboko Straight Kanata's Toyota 86 rapidly passes through the "death area" of the track where visibility is low, earning the attention of Fumihiro Joyu, the manager of MFG who reminisces on the driving technique of another 86 driver. In the end, Kanata finishes in sixteenth after losing ground in the long straight at the end of the race. After the race is over, Ren (as Angel Number 7) slaps him for not telling her that he was a racer, but her different hairstyle means that he did not recognise her. It is revealed that a racer in the top-15 was disqualified for using unsanctioned tires and Kanata is pushed up into fifteenth place, allowing him to participate in the race.
