In this episode, the focus is on Team Komaki Motors, consisting of Haruka Asahina, Kotarou, Futoshi, and Kouya, as they reflect on the last race. Haruka ended up in seventh place due to tire issues, leading the team to realize that better tire management is necessary. They also discuss financial constraints that make it difficult to train with new tires. Despite losing a sponsor, the team's morale remains positive, and Kouya only regrets not being able to take a victory photo with Haruka.

During maintenance work on the car, including changing the brake fluid, Kouya actively participates, even if his contribution seems minor. The conversation revolves around the costs of consumables in racing, such as tires and brakes. Surprisingly, they receive a visit from local business owners who, impressed by Haruka's performance, offer a sponsorship deal. After initial hesitation, Futoshi accepts the offer, grateful for the community's support.

In Belsorriso, Satsuki returns to racing after an injury. To determine the best driver, the team organizes a race. Satsuki displays impressive skills and determination, despite having only recently returned. The race ends with a narrow victory by Toshiki but showcases Satsuki's readiness to compete at a high level.
