When Iketani came back to his senses, he was still competing, and he was still on this familiar Akina Mountain, fighting Keisuke Takahashi.

The roar of the engine and the fiery tire noise are in my ears.

The yellow shadow of the car is still in sight, very close, and it seems to be within reach!

He didn't forget everything Takeuchi Shu said, and he didn't miss the ways and means he explained to himself!

From the beginning to the moment he ran here, he did not drift into the corner, but used the most ordinary running style to turn hard. Iketani trusts Takeuchi Shu and believes even more that what he says can help him!

Just because, this man is a great god that he admires in his heart.

In Iketani's mind, in addition to the professional racers who appear on TV, the driver who can make him feel terrifying, or out of reach, is the person of Takeuchi Shu.

His appearance made Iketani feel that his worldview was broadening.

Driver!

At first he felt like a good driver.

But when he got in the man's car, he saw a different scenery from the co-pilot's seat.

I suddenly understood. Compared to Takeuchi Hide, he is not a driver, and can only be regarded as an amateur player who likes to play with cars.

When he fell behind to Keisuke Takahashi from the start, Ikeya's mentality fluctuated a little, but he quickly thought of Takeuchi Shu's words.

Takeuchi Shu had already anticipated this, so he said. In the first half of the straight line, don't have any intention of winning or losing. The S13 is no match for the RX7, and that's a reality factor that can't be changed.

It wasn't until the first half of the curves that appeared one after another, he didn't use any fancy way to cross the corners, just like an ordinary driver who didn't know how to drag race, using his understanding of the mountain roads of Akinayama to control the body turning, and slowly recovered the gap.

And what people never expected. The gap is gradually narrowing, and with each turn, the S13 is closing in on the RX7, and has been able to turn a disadvantage into an advantage very quickly.

Victory is in sight!

Iketani took a deep breath and stared at the RX7 as an opponent.

Sure to win!

I'm Koichiro Iketani who is representing Akinayama!

......

Damn it! How so......

There's no way to get rid of an opponent of this level!

At this moment, it is not Iketani who suffers the most, but Keisuke Takahashi as a challenger. Although ahead of the curve, the advantage is not big, and it is more like a prey, which will be caught by predators at any time.

Under the yellow broken hair, the eyebrows are furrowed.

Keisuke Takahashi's eyes looked through the rearview mirror and saw S13 in hot pursuit, and his pupils seemed to flicker with ferocity.

Could it be that there is a problem with the documents prepared in advance?

Every time the RedSuns team challenges an opponent, they do their research in advance. In this way, different plans can be drawn up for different levels of opponents.

According to the information, Koichiro Iketani, a local driver of Akinayama, did not have any dazzling results that he could achieve. In recent years, there have been almost no challenges from outsiders in this area, and the strength should not be in the stream.

But for now......

This Koichiro Iketani is actually more difficult than imagined!

Keisuke Takahashi couldn't believe that this guy could stick so tightly that he couldn't shake it off. The original plan was to play all out in the first half of the race, completely eliminate him, and end the game early.

Now the first half of the race is almost finished.

But the original plan could not be realized.

Driving the RX7, he was a little distraught. The strange change of the opponent made Keisuke Takahashi feel embarrassed.

It can't go on like this.

Keisuke Takahashi adjusted his breathing, holding the steering wheel in his hand, and his mind was circulating, looking for a way to break the deadlock.

You can't lose a game in a place like this, he kept telling himself.

He is Keisuke Takahashi, one of the most famous Takahashi brothers in Akagi, think about the undefeated record during this time. How could it be possible to lose to such a low-level guy who can't even drift at this time?

Wait a minute......

Drift?

Keisuke Takahashi's eyes changed, and some fragmentary pictures kept flashing in his mind.

He grasped the palm of his hand on the steering wheel, and suddenly clenched.

......

Through the communication of the walkie-talkie, Takeuchi Shu has a clear understanding of the progress of the game.

He leaned on the pole of the street lamp, his body relaxed, and his eyes looked up at the winding mountain road.

Unlike other spectators, Takeuchi put himself in Iketani's shoes, pondering the scene of the game and the situation he was about to face.

Since this guy was able to keep up with the rhythm of the RX7, it means that he listened to his own words, and in the first half of the corner, he did not use drifting corners, but took ordinary corners.

But what Takeuchi Shu is worried about is in the second half!

In the second half, you can't take into account the psychological and technical aspects, but luck!

Iketani needs luck to be blessed.

The five-in-a-row hairpin bend that appeared at the last minute would not work if you still used the ordinary bend technique to break through. Because of the continuous cornering, the distance of the body push head is sufficient and the speed of the car is greatly reduced. It will be the fatal point of the whole game!

And there is hope, the only hope of containing the opponent in the second half.

It's overtaking!

So luck plays a big role. It was important for Iketani to be able to overtake before the five-hairpin bend.

Once the overtaking is completed, Iketani should have a hard time overtaking from the outside as long as he holds the most advantageous position, and the entry point of the dead card owner's inward bend should be in the state of Keisuke Takahashi.

But there is a prerequisite for these assumptions!

That is whether Keisuke Takahashi, in the course of the race, noticed Iketani's running style and made changes. I am not afraid that the technology is as stable as a mountain, but I am afraid of the flash of genius.

Shu Takeuchi understands Keisuke Takahashi!

As the initial D comics, the characters that are focused on depiction, how can they be idle people. This guy's strength in the early stage is really poor, and it is estimated that he is a driver of the same level as Nakazato Yi, with rough skills and poor control of the track. It belongs to the genius who grew up in the later stage!

Now he is arrogant and arrogant, because he has made a name for himself in Akagi, so he doesn't take a small role like Iketani in his eyes at all.

However, once this guy awakens, he begins to learn to adapt to Iketani's running style.

So......

The scales of victory will tilt again and return to square one.

There is a saying that "success is in people, and things are in heaven", and in the eyes of others, this game is a technical collision between two men.

In the inner world of Takeuchi Shu, it is the two of them, as the consciousness of the driver, clash!

Smart people are able to think from different perspectives.

And the natural driver, from the inspired consciousness, can smell the direction of victory!

Whether it's Iketani winning the race or Keisuke Takahashi leading to the finish....... For them, this game will bring out the deepest potential in their bones.

Takeuchi Shu chewed the tasteless chewing gum and spit it into the candy wrapper in his hand and wrapped it.

Glancing at the time displayed on your phone.

It seems that the outcome of everything can be closed in the coffin.

That's the time!
