I'm going there quickly
So don't worry anymore
To save you, because I love you
A mysterious uneasiness
An SOS from you

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 last, the first event of the Cyber Formula World Grand Prix has opened!
The final race of the American Grand Prix here at South Rim City's...
...Grand Canyon Circuit is about to start.
This is the start to the drama of racing battle...
...what has been called every year, the world's most prominent motor sport.
The drivers will compete in a total of 10 racers, using a point system that gives...
...points from 1st place through 6th place. They fight to be called the fastest man...
...in the world and for the glory of becoming a world champion.
The heated battle is just about to start.
Hooray! Hooray! Hayato!
Hang on! Hang on! Hayato!
The final race is starting! Good luck, Hayato!
I hope you'll do well!
Don't worry!
After all, he showed amazing driving skills in the preliminary race.
Yes. I think he might do pretty well with his skill.
Pretty well?
Who do you think I am?!
I'm the brilliant and genius racer, Hayato Kazami.
What I'm aiming towards, of course, is the championship!
Yes!
Trust me!
You've got good spirit!
Papa! I'm glad you made it in time.
I wouldn't be late for something important, like this.
All right. Asurada is in perfect condition.
Don't drive to make your machine suffer, Hayato.
Yes.
Well! I'm going to blast off!
The Final Race of the First American Battle
The Final Race of the First American Battle. The Final Race of the First American Battle
Now the formation lap begins.
The person who got pole position is last year's world champion...
...the national hero of Brazil, Patalia Lope.
In second position is a racer who's got a lot of local fans with high hopes.
Behind Lope, with just a narrow margin, is Jackie Gudelhian from America.
In third position, driving his superconductor linear foil machine...
...Franz Heinel.
The top three positions are occupied by victory hopefuls.
Following them is a new face. A mysterious racer.
He's the masked driver from England, Knight Schumacher.
Naoki Shinjyo from Japan.
Johji Ohtomo.
And the youngest driver at only fourteen years old...
...Hayato Kazami is in the next position.
Now all 24 machines have lined up on the grid.
As long as I can get a good start. Just watch me.
The green flag is waved!
Red signal is on!
Now!
The signal turns blue!
And they all start!
It can't be!
Damn, Gudelhian is at it again!
I can get through!
Wow! Hayato Kazami moves up to the top!
He ran through the space between 6 cars that were ahead of him.
He just turned on the first corner and is entering the Grand Canyon.
I did it! See, I can do this easily!
H...he came out on top.
Hayato's amazing!
Hang on, Hayato!
Hayato's Asurada is now in the top spot. Following is Pitalia Lope and Gudelihian.
Now let's explain the Grand Canyon course.
The difference from top to bottom height it this jagged canyon is 1372 meters...
...and drivers will run for 6 non-stop laps in this 50 kilometer long circuit.
It's an incredibly difficult course with a total distance of 300 kilometers.
This course is divided into 3 parts. The starting point is the city course.
The main part of the course is where the racers drive on slopes of the canyon.
Aptly called the Grand Canyon course.
And the third part is located in a town on the opposite side in North Rim City.
It's called the desert course.
It was at the Grand Canyon...
...when we raced in the World Grand Prix for the 1st time.
Yes.
The key to this race is knowing how to keep the machine from wearing out.
Yes. I told Hayato about that very well.
Yes.
In the entire 50 kilometers of one lap, the only pit is located here.
And the difference between top and bottom elevation...
...is more than 1000 meters.
It can really hurt the machine.
Once the machine has trouble, it's impossible to come back to the pit.
That's true.
Papa, I brought coffee for you.
Be careful. It's very hot.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Hey everybody, would you like some?
What?! Manager, it's a false start!
What?!
False start?!
I just got a call from a judge. He told me that Hayato did a false start.
We got a 60 second penalty!
60 second penalty?!
Let's check with the monitor!
Yes!
I'll show it in slow motion.
Yes, he actually moved before the start.
Tell Hayato about it.
Hayato!
Oh, manager! I'm on top! On top! Can you see?
Hayato, relax and listen to me. You did a false start.
False start?!
It can't be!
We confirmed it. The penalty is 60 seconds.
60 seconds penalty...
Hayato.
Damn it! I thought I did a perfect start!
Hayato, the race has just started. Don't get agitated.
60 seconds.
You shouldn't act rash! Do you understand?
I'm already on top. I'll keep going like this!
Calm down Hayato. Calm down.
Fale start? Roger. It seems that God has abandoned him.
Are you trying to give your 60 second penalty back?
This course isn't that easy.
Can your machine actually make in to the end?
Hayato, you're driving the machine, not your anxiety.
I guess his luck ran out.
Calm down, Hayato!
Hayato, slow down your speed! Otherwise, Asurada won't last!
What's the matter, Hayato?! Answer me!
Hayato!
I can't make back my loss, unless I get far ahead. Hayato!
I can't make back my loss, unless I get far ahead.
Hayato! I can't make back my loss, unless I get far ahead.
He must've turned off the radio switch.
Hayato...
Slow down.
Brake system is heating up.
No way!
I have to get back a 60 second loss!
This will cause major brake trouble. It's dangerous. Slow down!
Asurada, what's the time difference from the car behind me?!
Asurada!
Answer me!
Current difference is 31.02 seconds.
Not yet! It's not enough!
But if you continue to drive like this...
I won't lose!
The race is heating up!
After four laps, 7 cars out of 24 have already retired.
It's looking more like a survival race. How many cars will complete it?!
Still on top is 14 year old, Hayato Kazami.
The current time difference between him and 2nd place racer, Lope, is 58 seconds.
Ever since that false start, he's been driving very fast...
...as if he's trying to make up for the penalty!
Can he keep going as it is for the last two laps?
Manager, the time difference from Lope is now more than 60 seconds!
He did it! Now he's officially on top!
He just has to get as far as he can at this point.
It's 2 more laps. Hang on Hayato!
Future Grand Prix Cyber Formula
Go! Hayato!
Current top leader is Hayato Kazami of Sugo Asurada...
...who's desperately driving while holding a 60 seconds penalty.
In second place is the hero from Brazil, Pitalia Lope.
And following Lope tightly, is the mysterious pilot, Knight Schumacher.
In fourth and fifth are the skilled drivers Gudelhian and Heinel.
They are the top group.
Fuel is now less than a half tank and the body's lighter. I guess it's time!
You've started to play.
All right. If I keep going like this, the victory will be mine.!
What? It can't be!
How did he get this close to me?!
Asurada, I'm not getting enough power.
Power is at full. You can not go beyond this.
Then how did he catch up with us?!
It must have been caused by some other element besides machine power.
What?
Do you mean it's the difference in driving technique?!
Damn it! I'll never let him pass!
He's...
You can't turn on the corner if you go faster than this speed.
Slow down.
It's all right. I'm driving the same conditions as him!
If he can do it, I'm sure I can!
There is a hairpin curve ahead. Slow down.
This is the limit.
Damn it! I'll pass him!
Hayato.
Ready!
Go!
Hayato!
Hayato, you couldn't stand being beaten a long time ago.
But that's difference from winning a victory.
That's...
I can already see the results of the final race, since you are so distracted.
It's none of your business!
What is he talking about? I'll never let him beat me!
I'll pass him. I'll pass him no matter what!
Stampede and Silent Screamer are approaching from 5 meters behind.
What?!
This won't be the same as last time. The weather won't be on your side.
Time to pay you back now!
There's no such thing as luck in a machine battle.
Damn it! I won't let them pass me!
Go!
All right! I'll make a big leap in the tunnel.
Shit!
Goodbye!
No good! Cars are passing him one by one!
What's going on, Hayato?!
This is the world-class level.
Asurada's power is going down.
Fourth gear is damaged.
The hill did it.
What?! This shouldn't be happening!
It's the limit. Asurada can't last any longer.
Have him slow down the pace.
But Hayato turned off the radio switch!
Asuka, use the board to let him know!
Yes!
The top spot changed to Pitalia Lope! The wall to the world might be too thick...
...for Hayato Kazami who has now moved down to fifth place!
Now Lope passes the main stand, followed by Schumacher!
Behind him is Gudelihian! And Heinel is following him!
Well, with one more lap to go, who will get the first checkered flag?
What are you doing, Hayato?
Oh, there he is!
Hayato!
It didn't work. Hayato isn't slowing down.
Hayato.
If I slow down the pace, I'll never catch up with them again!
I'll win no matter what.
What kind of racer is he?
Watch this Hayato. This is the tactics of racing.
What?!
It can't be!
Fast! What fast driving by Knight Schumacher!
He passed Pitalia Lope instantly, as if he's driving with a jet engine.
Gudelhian and Heinel are following him.
And so is Hayato Kazami who has a 60 second handicap.
Shinjyo and Ohtomo, the 2 young Japanese racers are following behind.
Who is top?
Knight Schumacher is in the top spot now. A difference of 42 seconds.
That's fast!
Knight Schumacher is competing with Pitalia Lope.
Their speed is totally different from ours.
What's wrong, Asurada? You're slowing down our speed.
Engine is in bad condition. It won't last as it is.
Hang on, Asurada! Keep up the current speed!
Keep it up!
I got him!
He's fast.
Both 2nd and 3rd gears are damaged.
Cooling system has stopped. Misfire started.
Engine temperature is now at critical limit.
Stop the machine. Stop the machine.
Asurada's engine blew out!
What?!
Damn it.
System damage check is complete. The 2nd and 4th cylinders are damaged.
There is a crack on the gasket. It's impossible to continue the race.
Now it's come the climax of this long battle with the 50 kilometer one lap of...
...a 300 kilometer total race.
Top leader, Knight Schumacher, has just turned around the last corner.
He's fast! Totally faster than everybody!
He doesn't even allow last year's winner, Pitalia Lope, to approach him!
He's absolutely the knight of jet! A knight of supersonic! And now...
Goal!
Knight Schumacher gets the victory in his first Cyber Formula race!
Second place is Pitalia Lope!
Gudelhian!
Heinel!
And Shinjyo!
Shinjyo & Ohtomo made a good fight of it! They both won prizes in their first race!
Mr. Ohtomo, congratulations on you getting sixth place!
Did you have the confidence to win a victory in the first race...
...of the World Grand Prix?
No, but I'm very happy, because I was able to race by using all of my ability.
Excuse me. Please look this way.
You couldn't make it onto the victory stand.
No, but I'll beat them in the next race.
Knight Schumacher.
The Supersonic Knight, Knight Schumacher, had a glorious victory
Lope and Gudelihian praised his splendid achievement...
...on his first victory at his first competition.
The young Japanese boy, Hayato Kazami, was once on top, but he might not...
...have had enough ability to handle the race, yet.
He overused the machine and caused the engine to blow in the last stage...
...which forced him out of the race.
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
A regrettable loss at the American Grand Prix.
Everybody says that I'm the one to blame for it.
I don't give a damn anymore! I'm leaving the team!
I wander around a rainy city in a fit of despair....
...and meet another racer.
