In the 15th episode, the Ashinoko GT Race takes place under challenging rainy conditions. Kanata Katagiri, driving a modest Toyota 86 GT, astonishes spectators and competitors with his extraordinary skills on wet surfaces. Although his car lacks the power and advanced features of his rivals, he deftly overtakes competitors like Otani in car 7 and Taylor in car 8, steadily fighting his way forward.
The commentators highlighted Kanata's remarkable performance, noting that his skills stem from training under unpredictable weather conditions in Europe, particularly at England's Donington Park. This experience gives him an edge over other Japanese drivers, who are less accustomed to such conditions. Ikeda, a knowledgeable commentator, emphasizes that drivers like Kanata, Beckenbauer (car 12), and Sawatari Koki (car 4) share this European training, which is reflected in their dominance during the rain-soaked race.
Meanwhile, Aiba Shun (car 9) attempts to gain positions with strategic maneuvers, overtaking Yanagida (car 6) and challenging Taylor (car 8). His aggressive tactics pay off as he leverages the traction advantages of his Nissan GT-R in wet conditions. Other drivers, like Yashio (car 16), struggle in the rain due to incorrect suspension settings, underscoring the importance of vehicle tuning.
The leading group, featuring Beckenbauer and Sawatari Koki, engages in a fierce battle for first place, with Sawatari attempting an overtake in the second lap. The commentators discuss the reliance on electronic systems like traction control under these treacherous conditions, noting that while they assist drivers, they also strain tires and brakes. Notably, Kanata drives without these systems, showcasing his exceptional mastery and further impressing the audience.
During the race, interviews with the angels provide lighthearted moments. Sawamura Marie expresses her desire for an honest and sincere man, while Kyoko shares her preference for a kind-hearted and perhaps slightly naive man. These segments offer a contrast to the thrilling action on the racetrack.
As the episode progresses, Kanata closes in on the group battling for third place, defying expectations given his car's limitations. His unstoppable climb through the field under adverse conditions leaves spectators in awe and sets the stage for an even more intense competition.
