MF Ghost - Episode 8

The race begins with the challenging 874-meter downhill section, known for its treacherous conditions. Attention is particularly focused on Katagiri Kanata, who is behind the wheel of the red 86 GT and is making significant progress through the field.

When the central computer displays Kanata's 86—a rare occurrence in the race—a new development unfolds. The commentators, including Kogashiwa, are astonished by Kanata's ability to maintain tire grip despite the difficult conditions.

Kanata finds himself boxed in, squeezed between the cars of the Yashi-Kita gang. Despite the tough situation, he recalls Fujiwara's advice and finds a way to maneuver through the narrow gap, showcasing his exceptional driving skills.

On the track, the drivers enter the "Ghost Town Death Zone," a section with poor visibility and limited overtaking opportunities. Despite these challenges, Kanata presses on, aiming to overtake the car ahead.

Part of Kanata's strategy involves precise communication with his team, which updates him on the distance to the car in front. This allows him to plan his overtakes with remarkable precision, even in foggy conditions.

The episode culminates with Kanata overtaking Taylor's Porsche, demonstrating his fearless driving style. Despite the poor visibility and high risk, Kanata manages to advance to ninth place thanks to his skill and determination.

The commentators are impressed by Kanata's performance and speculate about his abilities and possible memory retention. His performance raises questions about his track knowledge, even though it's his first time competing in an MFG street race.
