With the second round of Lake Ashinoko GT approaching, Kanata attempts a test run to check the 86's updates. The fighting power of the machine has greatly improved, and Kanata is impressed by the skill of Hiroya Okuyama of Auto Shop Spiral. At that moment, a blue Alpine brilliantly overtook 86. Riding Alpine was the fourth man, Kouki Sawatari, who did not participate in the previous race. Sawatari, who once met Kanata in Europe, has a burning rivalry with Kanata. The preliminaries begin, and Sawatari, who is said to be a genius, awakens to his true potential.
