In Episode 18, the MFG race intensifies further as the leading cars enter the Relay Straight at high speed. Koki in car 4, a Ferrari, notices that Beckenbauer in car 12 veers out of his lane but does not overtake, signaling a certain superiority and confidence. Meanwhile, Akaba Kaito in car 2, Maezono in car 13, and Kanata Katagiri in car 86 battle for third place, while Sakamoto Yudai in car 5 tries to close the gap.
As the rain over Lake Ashinoko stops, the drivers face new challenges on the wet track. Aiba Shun in car 9 overtakes Taylor in car 8, employing an aggressive tactic that appears less risky since the all-weather tires minimize wear. Suddenly, thick fog, known as the "White Devil," rolls over the Ashinoko Skyline, particularly over the dangerous "Slip Trap" section.
Despite safety concerns, MFG general manager Joyu decides the race will continue without restrictions, as he trusts the elite drivers' skills. Koki enters the foggy "Death Zone" and accepts the challenge despite the extreme conditions. Kanata, however, sees the fog as an opportunity to fully showcase his abilities. In consultation with his operator Ogata, he plans an overtaking maneuver in low visibility, recalling tactics from previous races.
In the dense fog, Kanata executes his plan precisely. He overtakes Maezono's car 13 in the first corner and quickly closes in on Akaba's car 2. With precise drift maneuvers despite the poor visibility, Kanata impresses both commentators and former racer Ikeda, as he bravely navigates through the dangerous conditions and climbs up to third place.
As the leaders emerge from the fog, Beckenbauer in car 12 prepares to challenge Koki, as he is less exhausted from following through the fog. Kanata exits the "Death Zone" with an 8.73-second lead over the car behind him but realizes this may not be enough under improved conditions. The commentators highlight that Kanata traversed the fog section 12 seconds faster than the leading duo, underscoring his exceptional talent and adaptability.
