A computer based navigation system race machine...
...the Cyber Formula.
It has taken the place of F-1 as the new race machine of the 21st century.
Bringing excitement to people all over the world.
I'm going there quickly
So don't worry anymore
To save you, because I love you
A mysterious uneasiness
An SOS from you
I kept feeling it since last night
A sudden storm is blocking your way
I saw a visual of it
Lover or miracles
You can't look down on it. Even time would...
...bring new waves
I'm going there right now
So just stay there
Always keep the dream you have
You can do it
I'm going there quickly
So don't worry anymore
To save you, because I love you
At the All Japan Grand Prix, Hayato fairly won third place...
...and received a Super License to attend all 10 Cyber Formula Prix racers...
...that will be held all over the world.
Now he's arrived at the Grand Canyon in America. The site for the first race.
The World Grand Prix Opens
The World Grand Prix Opens. The World Grand Prix Opens
Grand Canyon
No, V-8!
I'm measuring temperature of the road surface. You shouldn't disturb me!
This is Asuka. Asurada just passed the fifth point.
Roger.
Hayato, how is the machine's condition?
Excellent! Very smooth!
But if I make even the slightest mistake, I'd probably drop into a dangerous spot.
If you attend the final race, you would be driving through there...
...at an average speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
You must input the course very well into your brain.
Listen, you'll be approaching a circle shaped curve, soon.
The key point here is to slow down and use an accurate cornering technique.
Roger.
It's as if I'm driving on the clouds.
If I drive beyond my skills in a place like this, I know I'll die instantly.
This is totally different from the Japanese course!
There are no bumps here! The road surface of this course is flat.
Oh, don't worry. I'm not talking about the road surface.
This is Maki. He just passed here.
Roger.
You will come up to a bridge, soon. Remember this well!
The area in front of the Phantom Ranch Hotel is famous for machine trouble.
I can see the bridge! Why does this area cause machine trouble?
About 300 big and small continuous downhill corners.
It causes racing brakes to heat up, making them not work so well.
And after you pass through the long straight bridge at full speed...
...the left 60 R curve appears.
At this point, you can't reduce speed and can easily end up off the track.
I see! Asurada, you better listen to him well!
What are you talking about?! You are the racer!
Even Aurada can't take care of your mental condition at every moment!
You don't have to yell! I can hear you!
He just passed the bridge!
Miki, why don't you tell everybody to come back?
What?
Hayato doesn't understand if we say too many things all at one time.
I'll give him some advice using the course video.
Anyhow, let's eat a lot tonight to build up stamina!
Roger!
Maki, pass me the soy sauce.
Here you are.
This is awesome! I've never eaten a thick steak like this!
It's delicious!
The first race of the Grand Prix finally starts tomorrow.
Yes, it does.
Oh, Boss, I take back what I told you before.
What are you talking about?
I told him that I would rather become a motorbike racer.
But I changed my mind.
I want to go on as far as I can as a Cyber Formula racer.
I was expecting you would act like that.
Hayato, we will do our best, so you do it, too.
Yes.
By the way, I was greatly touched while I was standing on the course today.
I felt this is no longer a dream. We're actually attending the World Grand Prix.
Asuka, aren't you going to eat anymore?
No, because it's really a big portion.
I'll gain weight if I eat too much.
Then may I...?
Oh, you have a big appetite.
I have to eat for the computer that works well within me.
Speaking about dreams...
Manager, isn't Pei getting out from the hospital soon?
The doctor said so.
But I asked them to have Pei stay one more day, just to make sure.
But I think it was good...
...that Pei was able to move from the the remote island hospital...
...to the hospital in this town. He can even watch the race here.
That's true.
Asuka, I'm counting on you to take Pei's place!
Just leave it to me!
We're finally here.
It's time for sports news.
Cyber Formula fans in all over the world, are paying beg attention to the 1st race...
...of the World Grand Prix, which will be held at the Grand Canyon, tomorrow.
The #1 candidate to win the championship is of course this person!
That genius racer from Brazil...
...and last year's world champion, Pitalia Lope.
If there is anyone who could possibly beat him, it's these two racers.
The first one is know as the "Precision Machine" of the circuit...
...Franz Heinel of Team S.G.M.
The other one is the pride of America, Jackie Gudelhian of Star Stampede.
Now let's introduce 2 new faces, who are attending this race for the 1st time.
It must be Hayato!
After all, he is the youngest racer in history!
He won the championship at the All Japan Grand Prix...
...and has been a challenge in so many racers in all over the world.
The young Japanese hope for the future, Naoki Shinjyo.
Here's the other one.
He's next!
He made his debut in the Cyber Formula racing world in England.
Speeding just like a comet is Knight Schumacher.
A mysterious driver who has displayed overwhelmingly fast driving skills in...
...the local racers of England.
I remember hearing him say that he doesn't want show his wounded face.
So, he never takes off his sunglasses during interviews.
What kind of racing technique can he show us against the top 3 racers?
Fans are now paying close attention to him.
Next on the news is...
Damn!
There is a big elevation difference in this course.
So we can expect great amount of burden on the engine and brakes.
Asurada GSX.
Asurada?
It's a Japanese machine and this is its first time here.
What about that machine?
Well, nothing really.
Is that...?!
Stop right here.
Is anything wrong?
Why don't you go on ahead to the venue? I've got to take care of something.
What would you care for?
Excuse me.
Coffee.
Hey, after we finish the race, let's go to Disneyland!
Good idea!
Really? I'd rather go to NASA.
Well then, you don't have to come with us.
No way!
Anyway, everybody, let's do our best, so we won't regret it.
Juckie Gudelhian will definitely be the winner of the first race.
Yeah! I know he'll even beat that Lope guy real bad!
The others are all just small fish.
Jackie! Jackie! Jackie!
-Jackie! Jackie! Jackie! -Jackie! Jackie! Jackie!
Don't get bothered by that.
Lope and Gudelhian are the top ranked racers in the world.
Their careers are totally different from us.
But I'm just wondering what kind of racers they are.
I'll show you race videos later.
You better not to see that.
Hayato is very weak under pressure.
That's not true at all!
-You're getting so serious. -That's enough from both of you!
Well, let's go.
Oh, I ate so much.
My stomach feels a little bit heavy.
My father is coming to support us tomorrow.
Just make sure to do your best!
I'll do as much as I can, since I got this far.
You seem so reliable!
Hey, Asuka, stop it.
Both of you have grown up.
Future Grand Prix Cyber Formula
I understand. I'll tell that to everybody.
Is there anything else?
Yes. I see. I'll tell them that.
What did my father say?
Asurada might be attacked again.
He said we need to have tight security around the machine.
I understand.
It might happen again, unless they've given up.
You'll get worn out if you force yourself too much.
Tomorrow's preliminary race is important. You have to rest a little.
I can't just sit around. I feel hot all over.
My brother used to do training like this. I wonder if he'll be watching our race.
Did you say something?
I said if my brother, Osamu, would come to support us, I'd have more confidence.
No contact from him?
Not at all.
He is a racer, too. I'm sure he'll be watching us.
I'm sure of it.
I want to drink something cold after I sweat.
I'll go and get it.
What's wrong Auska?
Someone's watching us.
What?
He's not there.
What kind of person was he?
He was wearing sunglasses.
Is he the one who's trying to steal Asurada?!
Hayato!
I'm going to look for him!
Hayato, wait!
I won't let him even lay a finger on my machine.
You were lucky. Third place because of that machine.
What do you mean by that?
You can't keep winning, just on luck.
Did you find him?
No.
I'm going to look over there.
Mr. Ohtomo.
Hayato?
Did you see anyone suspicious around here?
No, did something happen?
No, it's not like that.
Hey! You're V-8, right?
You look good. Hey!
Hayato, I went to see the course today.
The nature in America is totally different from the nature of Japan.
If Japanese nature is like a mother that makes you feel calm...
...then this place is like a father, where he won't accept any sentimental feelings.
Our battle will first start here.
It's the first battle of the Grand Prix. Let's go to the final race, together!
Yes!
All right. Nothing strange seems to be in here.
There's also no reaction for any dangerous substances.
That's good.
Yes.
By the way, boss.
What?
Why is the Asurada GSX being targeted?
You said it might be some industrial spies.
If so, then my father might be attacked, too!
Tell me if you know anything!
I called England just before I left Japan, but I couldn't reach him!
I'll tell you the truth.
As you said, your father is also a target.
But don't worry. Your parents are hiding in a safe place.
Are you sure they're all right?
Don't worry.
Hayato, your father made the Asurada GSX knowing he's risking his life.
So, if you race with that machine...
...I'm sure it'll make your parents feel relieved.
Race?
That's right.
I understand.
Oh, I'll get that.
Hello, this is Sugo Asurada.
Hayato, is that you?
Yes. Who is it?
You have to become a world champion for your father.
Me? Who are you?!
Do well in tomorrow's race.
Hello?! Hello?!
I can't see you now, but I have a reason.
Hello to all the fans of Cyber Formula!
The World Grand Prix has finally opened.
At this specially built circuit in the Grand Canyon...
...world famous and skilled racers have gathered from all over the world...
...and have already started their intense battles.
Here you go, Hayato.
The preliminary race is a street course where you drive one lap in the city.
Do your best!
I'll pass the preliminary race no matter what. It's for my father, too.
Good luck!
Hayato!
Pei!
I can't just sit around in the hospital.
Pei!
Hayato, do well.
I don't care if people say I came this far because of luck.
I don't care if people say I came this far because of the machine.
Since I've made it this far, I'll just make the most of this big moment.
Asurada has entered the last corner.
He's starting his time attack.
Which team's machine is that?
The total number of cars that registered in the preliminary race is...
...30.
Only 24 cars can attend the final race.
The time of the machines that already finished is...
10 cars are already up?
The time of the last place car is 1 minute and 39.02 seconds.
What is Hayato's rank?
I'll check it right now.
He's almost at the middle point.
Passed the middle point.
He and Asurada have become a perfect pair.
46.52 seconds means...
If I simply calculate it...
If he comes back with the same speed, he'd make it in under 39 seconds.
He might even get to the thirty seven second mark.
No, it's too early to be excited.
Many curves come up after this, so his time will slow down.
I feel something different from usual. I can do it!
If we can keep the time-loss minimal, I can have a better time than average lap...
...of the 10 cars that had already driven.
See I can do it! I'm a racer, too!
My skills are doing this. I'll get into the top ranking.
Almost there!
Go on, Hayato!
How's the mark?
Th...third place!
Then...
There are 9 more cars that haven't driven yet.
Even if all 9 cars had a better time than him...
We passed the preliminary race!
-We did it! We did it! -We finally did it.
Knight Schumacher?
I did it!
I can attend the final race!
If you drive like that, you will lose against the other racers in the finals.
Who are you?!
If you're so distracted, the outcome of the race is already set.
It's none of your business!
Why is he so arrogant?
He's just jealous because he probably failed the preliminary race.
Hayato.
That's the person who was looking at our transporter last night.
Was he?
He's a racer named Knight Schumacher.
Knight Schumacher.
It's annoying , because he had a better time than yours in the preliminary race.
Did he?
Hey! Hey!
Manager said he's treating us to a big steak again...
...to celebrate passing the preliminary race. Let's go!
All right!
I'll eat a lot, then I'll beat Schumacher in the final race.
That's the spirit! Let's go!
The reason a human's eyes...
...are not on their back is...
...because we live facing forward
Because we have a mission...
...believe each other
When I stop working...
...and look up at the blue sky...
...believe each other
Your smile becomes my emotional support
Because there are hard times now...
...tomorrow will shine bright
So, I'm not going to regret...
...the goal I had chosen
Now run the wind
Someday we're winners
Next Episode
The final race of the American Grand Prix has started.
I passed Knight Sabre and El Condor and quickly moved to the top...
...during the chaos of when the race first started.
All right! Let's keep going fast, Asurada!
