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
While Hayato was trying to recover from a sense of failure at the first race of the...
...World Grand Prix, Bleed Kaga asked him to compete in a race as his partner.
It's a battle race with no rules...
...where daredevil racers compete with each other.
During the race, Kaga taught Hayato what tactics of racing he was lacking.
A race is a battle! A battle where men risk their lives.
Youthful Scrap
At the point called Scorpion's Bed on the alpine course in the...
...Bolivia highlands, Heinel, Gudelihian, and Lope are passing one by one.
The car following them is driven by Cummings, who made his debut this year.
Oh, no, he didn't make it! Cummings has spun out!
If you carelessly step on sleeping scorpions, you will die.
That's why it's called the Scorpion's Bed. And it has taken its first victim.
Chief, we have to upgrade Asurada.
Yes. It's time for us to show our skills as mechanics.
Manager, I checked all the data from last year.
Yes.
We are going to upgrade Asurada now.
Upgrade?
The next course will be mainly in the off-road highlands of Peru.
Besides, the alpine area is 4000 meters above sea-level, so the air is thin.
We have to maintain the engine and other systems within the atmosphere.
Hayato, we're making a stunning upgrade.
You should look forward to it.
They are putting much effort into it.
I heard it's a pretty dreadful course. Hayato, can you handle it?
It sounds bad. Don't already scare me.
Manager.
We will do a driving simulation when we arrive in Mexico.
Yes.
The moment we finish one race, the next race has already started.
Now, Hayato and Sugo Asurada team are heading to Peru in South America...
...where the seconds race of the World Grand Prix will take place.
Cool!
We did all possible maintenance for the alpine course of Peru.
The weight of the under-guard has become a little heavier...
...but the body balance hasn't changed.
Yes.
I need a little more time to prepare the local course data.
You don't have to give it to me right now. Take your time.
All right, Hayato...
...let's prepare the driving simulation.
Yes!
I see. I feel that the body is a little heavier.
It won't affect the driving.
I feel like I'm reborn, since my exterior design has changed.
I never thought you would say that.
Pay attention to the uphill left corner.
No problem.
How's it working?
The engine is in perfect condition.
I'm at approximately 2,800 meters above sea level...
...but I'm turning tightly up to the red zone.
Don't force yourself too much.
Yes!
An oncoming car is approaching rapidly.
Sorry, I missed colliding with a trailer, but crashed into some cactuses.
You have to be careful!
The soil around here is small and dry, so it's not so easy to clean up.
I'm sorry.
Pei!
The wing is warped. Adjust it.
Yes.
I think it's about 2 millimeters off on the left side.
Everybody, I prepared a barbecue.
All right. Miki, let's eat.
I'll eat later.
You can start without me.
Can we? Then, let's go.
Yes. Well, I'll be waiting over there.
Chief, you can start eating.
OK.
There are bugs.
Even a small bug makes the machine change its balance.
Well, this tastes good.
You just have to barbecue these things. Anyone can cook it well.
You said that!
I won't give you anymore food.
Hey, that's not fair.
Pei, you shouldn't only meat.
Here, water.
Why don't eat more slowly?
Thanks for the meal.
Is that enough?
I'm going to make sure that I screwed the bolts on tightly.
He's very enthusiastic.
Since he couldn't work in the first race, he's trying to work harder for this race.
It's screwed on tight enough.
Oh, I better change the headlights, too.
The stars are so beautiful.
Here.
Thank you.
It seems like they're almost falling onto us.
Yes.
I'm sure your parents are doing all right.
What?
Wh...why did you suddenly say that?
It's easy to see what you are thinking, since I grew up with you.
I have to win at the second race of the World Grand Prix, no matter what.
What?
I'm sure they'll come to see me, when they watch the news.
Oh, I'm sure they will.
I'm definitely going to win!
The stability of straight driving is outstanding.
I'm going to check out the cornering ability next.
Roger!
What is this?
Asurada, the steering is slightly sliding. What's causing it?
All mechanical hardware and software are operating normal.
Operating normal?! I'm sure it's sliding to the outside.
Left cornering is normal.
Again, it's sliding to the outside on a right corner.
It's under-steer.
The only reason I can think of is that it's caused by some external element.
Wind?!
If I drive back on the same part, I can tell whether it's because of wind or not.
Again, under-steer is happening on the right corner. It's not the wind.
Everything is all right.
Let's change the parts to make sure.
Oil cylinder for active suspension. Oil pump, drive shaft and suspension arm.
They're all OK. Next thing is...
It's almost been three hours.
Yes.
How was it?
The machine has no problem.
That can't be!
I checked the software, but the program doesn't have any problems.
That's not right!
I'm telling you the under-steer was happening only on the right corners!
Even so, it's not because of the machine.
Can you surely say that!
We've checked every possible element! It's not a mechanical problem!
I've never experienced the under-steer only on the right corner!
This is obviously a setting mistake!
We've truly devoted ourselves to maintenance!
What does a novice racer like you understand about this?!
What did you say?!
Stop it, both of you!
Team members shouldn't fight each other.
I'm going to check it one more time!
I'm holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands in the center!
Here comes a right corner!
It's dangerous to test until we know what's causing it.
I have to determine whether it's because of my technique, or outside elements!
It's sliding to outside again. It's under-steer!
There's no alert on the telemeter!
I'm actually experiencing under-steer right now!
This is the first time I've ever experienced such difficult driving!
Don't blame the machine!
We dud a perfect maintenance check! Your technique is causing it!
No, it's not!
There is an obstacle ahead.
What?!
Damn it!
Future Grand Prix Cyber Formula
Hayato!
Are you injured?
Hayato.
The cars are crying.
This place is a car graveyard.
Pei, if this was caused by the machine, Asurada and I might've ended up like this!
What if it was caused by the racer's skill?
It's important to have confidence, but humans are not always perfect.
Boss.
We had similar trouble a long time ago.
It was almost thirty years ago.
Hayato's father, Hiroyuki Kazami, and Asuka's father, Kojiro Sugo were...
...still in High School.
Gen, we've completed the machine.
Kazami's design plan is finished. Can you take a look at it?
Please!
This is a driving coffin.
Now, let's work.
What's wrong? You guys won't help me today?
Yes, we'll help you.
Kazami!
Please let us help. We'll do anything.
And someday, please let us use these scraps to make our own racing machine.
Can you clean up things over there?
Yes!
We were poor.
However, we had a dream to make our own racing machine.
We rewrote our design plans over and over, and showed it to Gen.
But Gen was a former F-1 mechanic, and didn't say yes for a long time.
Yes. Kazami, you did a good job!
What?!
This will run.
This is a racing machine that will run like the world!
Kazami, you did it!
We finally made Gen said yes!
We finally did it!
After we got Gen's approval...
...we used most of the machine parts from his scraps...
...and we started to make the racing machine that we dreamed of.
Then we finished making the dream of our youth, "The First Wind".
We had to test drive it over and over.
And it happened during the final test drive of the FJ-1600 race.
Sugo!
Are you all right, Sugo?!
Yes.
That's good.
Oh, no! You turned our machine into this! It's completely wrecked!
It's your maintenance mistake!
No way!
I heard a strange sound around the suspension right before I crashed.
Are you bitching about my maintenance?!
I'm always checking thoroughly! Isn't this your driving mistake?!
I didn't make any mistake!
This is well maintained machine! It crashed from the driver's mistake!
I don't want to be a victim of your overconfidence!
What did you say?!
Stop that, both of you!
Calm down!
So, we took "The First Wind" apart and checked it to find what caused the crash.
But, we couldn't find any defect.
Was it really my mistake?
Hey guys...
Is anything wrong with the differential gear?
-What's the matter? -What's the matter?
This is...!
There's a stone inside.
But why?
It may happened when you changed the differential gear oil.
I shook from fear.
I almost took my best friend, Kojiro Sugo's, life by my mistake.
I'm sorry, Sugo!
Kurumada.
I'll never touch the machine from now on.
Wh...what are you saying?! If you wouldn't be with us...
Are you trying to make me throw away my dream of becoming a racer?!
There are plenty of mechanics out there! I can't do this anymore!
Kurumada!
Wait, Kurumada!
Do you want to run away and become a defeated dog?!
After taking your friend's dream away, how are you trying to live?!
Kurumada.
Kurumada!
I saw my best friend die because of my maintenance mistake.
Since then, I used that loupe to check for anything that might've caused...
...accidents to all the cars that were brought here.
But now, I can even hear grieving of the cars while I just stand here.
These were cars crashed by violent drivers.
These were cars destroyed by drivers who had no love for their car.
I don't need that loupe anymore.
Kurumada, you keep it.
Thank you very much!
I'll treat this as the treasure of my life!
This is still the most treasured thing in my life.
Manager.
Can I borrow this?
It may not be their maintenance mistake. If it isn't, you should apologize.
All the steering parts are fine.
We'll check the suspension next.
Yes!
Everything from a part to a screw Sensor unit and gears.
Anything you can take apart and break down into pieces.
I'm going to do it throughly!
It's already passed five hours. Was it my mistake? If so...
My eyesight is all right.
This is normal.
It's dust!
Shit!
Give it to me!
Pei!
Miki?
What's the matter?!
Manager, it was the torque split.
What?
There was dust on the transmitting lens of G sensor.
Just a little dust like this...
A micro glitch that the computer couldn't even detect had occurred.
When certain conditions happened, the allocation of the front and back torque...
...became unbalanced, causing the machine to under-steer.
It was a mistake of the mechanics.
I'm very sorry.
Chief!
You keep quiet!
I'm the chief mechanic. I didn't check it, so it's all my fault.
Miki.
It's no the Chief's fault! It's my mistake.
Hayato, I'm sorry.
Please stand up, Miki. Pei, you too.
Can you do the maintenance one more time?
Please protect my life.
Yes.
I feel that now we've finally become a real team.
Yes, teamwork is not friends playing around.
It's the fruit gained from a battle using everybody's true devotion.
Please race well in the Peru Grand Prix, with good spirit.
We have to leave early tomorrow morning. Be prepared!
Yes!
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 paddock is bustling full of fans before the race starts.
Are you also a Cyber Formula fan?
What? You don't want an autograph from a failed racer?
You said that!
All right, then I promise you that I'm going to be on the victory stand.
