Aiba is eager to race against Taylor and Kanata, showing particular interest in Kanata's unique driving style. As the lead group turns onto the Ashinoko Skyline, the commentators notice that Kanata's Toyota 86 GT isn't as far behind as expected. Ikeda explains that the rain diminishes the performance advantage of high-horsepower cars and emphasizes that excessive power is difficult to control under such conditions. He points out that the optimal horsepower for wet weather on public roads is between 200 and 250 PS, which aligns with the Toyota 86 GT's capabilities.
Due to the rain-limited visibility, the drivers cautiously navigate through the tight gates. The lead group enters the treacherous "Death Zone" of Lake Ashinoko for the second time. Sawatari Koki in car No. 4 aggressively challenges Beckenbauer in car No. 12 to take the lead. After a series of risky maneuvers and minor collisions, Sawatari overtakes Beckenbauer, marking the first time in MFG history that Beckenbauer has been overtaken. Spectators and commentators react in astonishment, while Ikeda analyzes the daring overtaking move.
Meanwhile, Kanata begins climbing the ranks. He overtakes Sakamoto Yudai's car No. 5 at Mikuni Pass using a drift technique that surprises both Sakamoto and the commentators. Ikeda notes that Kanata may have anticipated this opportunity due to the challenging terrain shift from uphill to downhill. Keisuke observes that Kanata's maneuvers resemble those taught by Fujiwara Takumi during the Project D days, suggesting that Kanata has incorporated his street racing experience.
As the race intensifies, Oishi Daigo in car No. 3 struggles with the slippery conditions and stability control issues. He loses control of the car, spins out in the Death Zone, and retires from the race unharmed. Aiba acknowledges Oishi's exit and notes that he himself has moved up due to the attrition.
The episode ends with anticipation for the next phase of the race, where Kanata continues his ascent. A preview of the upcoming challenges in "Turn 17: A Cruel Reality."
