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
The Cyber Formula World Grand Prix is a race that's held ten times a year.

A Promise to a Girl
It's really cold.
The air is thin here.
Hey. Hey. Hey.
Move your hands, not your mouth. We don't have much time left.
Yes.
It'll be a time consuming race.
So don't make a mistake about pacing yourself.
I won't drop out this time!
That's not what I mean.
Since you have to drive all through the night, save your energy for it.
That's right, Hayato. You have to rest a little more.
I can't. I keep remembering about dropping out of the last race.
I don't want to think about the race right now.
Hayato!
I'm going to take a walk.
V-8, come with me.
I'm going with you.
It's filled with excitement.
This is just like a festival.
I guess the last year's champion, Lope, is very popular.
I might get his autograph, too.
Wow, do you like that type of guy, Asuka?
Oh, at least he's more attractive than a spoiled child I know.
I'll become just like him, soon.
Can I get your autograph?!
Mine?
I guess I should have practiced signing my autograph.
Mr. Shinjyo.
Can I have your autograph?!
Can I have it too?
Good luck in the race. I'll be supporting you.
Who would want to have an autograph of the racer...
...who ended up dropping out in the first race?
That's none of your business!
You must be Hayato Kazami.
I watched the first race in TV. I saw when you dropped out.
So what?!
Hayato, pay no attention to her. Let's go.
He still needs to practice a lot more to become a big racer.
Well, I think that's enough.
Shinjyo has things to do before the race.
What?!
Who is this old lady?!
What does she gotta do with Shinjyo?!
Shinjyo, let's go!
See you next time.
What?!
Fans these days don't have manners!
Pitalia Lope. He won second place in the first race.
Excuse me, can I have your autograph?
Mr. Lope, the owner wants to see you!
I'm sorry, but I have to stop for today.
Knight Schumacher. He was the winner of the last race.
Excuse me, but could I get your autograph?
Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.
Oh, but...
I'm sorry, but Mr. Schumacher is busy right now.
Please don't tell me that. Can I just have his autograph?
Don't ask anymore!
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm all right.
Hey, that's not nice!
He was demanding to get an autograph so persistently.
That is no reason for you to push him down!
I think if he really likes racing...
...he wouldn't bother racers before the start.
Since you're also a racer, you must understand things like that!
A racer?
Hayato Kazami.
It's him. Excuse me.
Yes.
Can I get your autograph?
What? M...my autograph?
I couldn't sign very well though...
My daughter would love this.
Your daughter...
Aren't you a Cyber Formula fan?
My daughter is the big fan. Her name is Lita.
Oh, that's her over there.
She's the girl...
Dad!
Did you get Lope's autograph?
I'm sorry, but I couldn't.
What about Knight Schumacher's?
He didn't give it to me, either.
He said he doesn't give his autograph to anybody before the race.
Really.
Lita, I think you must know him.
Yes.
He gave you his autograph.
Hayato Kazami
This is an interesting looking autograph.
Sorry about that.
It's not much.
I'm Lita.
I'm Hayato Kazami.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
I'm sorry I said such mean things before.
You can still earn good points in the second race...
...even you had to drop out of the first race.
I'm Asuka and he's V-8.
Oh, hey.
Lita.
It's all right. I'm fine.
Don't do that, V-8!
Please don't scold V-8.
V-8 didn't do anything wrong.
You're so full of energy.
Asuka, let's get those autographs for her.
What?
B...but...
Hayato, you don't have to do that.
This must be an important time for you, too.
Don't worry.
Besides, we can get close to the racers without causing trouble.
Right?
What happened?
She was very mean to you before. I though you were angry about it.
Since she spoke so frankly, it actually put me in a good mood.
I like that type of person.
Oh, I see. Then that's good.
My autograph?
Yes, I would like to get your autograph.
Oh, excuse me. Of course you can. I can give you as many as you want.
Thank you very much.
A racer who's about to start the race, asks for a rival's autograph.
I guess times have changed.
My autograph?
You idiot!
What are you doing before the race starts?!
Concentrate on the race!
You don't have the right to say such things!
You don't even know why I'm doing this. Just forget it!
Wait!
Let me give you some advice.
Watch out for Bootsvorz in the race. His driving can be very dangerous.
Future Grand Prix Cyber Formula
Wow!
Thank you!
Heinel and Gudelhian also gave their autograph to you, Lita.
Oh, I really appreciate that.
Don't worry. I still have plenty of time until the race starts.
I can't find Knight Schumacher's.
I'm sorry.
Can't Hayato even get Schumacher's autograph?
It;s because...
Did you explain why you were doing it?
I didn't have the chance to do that!
He suddenly got angry. That made me angry too!
Hayato might have asked the wrong way.
I don't think so.
All right! I'll go there.
Asuka.
I'll make sure to get it.
I'll also explain to him why Hayato asked for it.
Mr. Schumacher, someone is here to see you.
See me?
Did you want see me, young lady?
I'm sorry to bother you before the race, but...
...can I get your autograph, Mr. Schumacher?
My autograph?
A girl who's a big fan of yours really wants to...
What are you and Hayato thinking?!
This is an important time now, when the racer and team...
...have to concentrate for the race!
This is no time to collect autographs from all the racers.
If you're part of the staff, you must know things like that.
It's none of your business!
And why are you talking to me as if you're my boss of something?!
Hayato came to ask your autograph for a girl who is handicapped!
You don't have to say things like that!
I don't need your autograph anymore!
Wait a minute!
Bleah!
Here, catch me V-8!
No, V-8.
I haven't seen Lita this happy in a long time.
She's such a cheerful and nice girl.
If she wants to stand up, she can do it.
What?
The doctor said her legs are completely cured.
But she won't try to stand up, no matter how I tell her.
Today is Lita's birthday. So I thought if she watched the...
...Cyber Formula Grand Prix race that she loves, she might get better.
I'm going to play with Lita.
I envy V-8. He can go anywhere with his own legs.
Lita.
Lita, let's run with V-8.
Yes.
Run faster!
Wait for me, V-8.
Looking good, V-8. Run faster!
Wow! You are very fast.
H...hey, wait for me.
You are such a weakling.
You drop out quickly, even outside of a race.
You can say anything you want.
But you'll see after the race, that I'm as good as Lope or Schumacher.
Don't brag too much.
At best, you'll only complete the race.
You really are harsh.
But I can't believe a weakling who won't try to walk...
...although her legs are cured.
What?!
My dad has a big mouth!
Oh, I meant...
All right, I'll walk if Hayato wins at least third place.
Th...third place!
I guess that's unrealistic.
I can do it.
All right. My birthday present to Lita is getting third place.
Dad even told you about my birthday?
But can you make such claims to me?
I promise.
Let's link pinkies.
What do you mean link pinkies?
It's a pledge to prove you'll keep your promise.
Give me you finger.
Like this?
Make a promise. If you lie, you'll swallow a thousand needles.
That's interesting. Hey, let's do that one more time.
Sure.
Make a promise. If you lie, you'll swallow a thousand needles.
Hello everybody!
It's the second race of the Cyber Formula World Grand Prix.
The Peru round.
It's getting close to the starting time.
Now let's announce the results of the time trials.
Pole position goes to a supersonic knight, Knight Schumacher.
In the front row is the American star, Jackie Gudelhian.
And on the second row of the grid is third position, Pitalia Lope.
In Fourth position is Franz Heinel.
Naoki Shinjyo is in seventh position. Edelie Bootsvorz is ninth position.
Johji Ohtomo is twelfth position.
And the youngest racer, Hayato Kazasmi, passed the time trials...
...to get fifteenth position in this race.
This race uses a two-heat system.
It is divided into a first half and second half.
From here, Cuzco, to the relay point, in Puno...
...is the first half of the course.
Each team's transporter is standing by at Puno.
They will do maintenance of their machines there.
Drivers will take a break during the maintenance.
And after that, they start the second half of the course.
And they continue to their final goal, La Paz.
This is a very harsh race.
Drivers will race all through the night...
...with only one stop at the relay point.
The race averages an elevation of 3,825 meters above sea level.
The air is quite thin.
So the cockpit of each machine...
...has been equipped with an oxygen canister.
It really is a life-threatening road race!
Excuse me.
Mr. Schumacher asked me to bring this to you.
Oh, this is an autograph from Mr. Schumacher.
Hayato.
What?
Schumacher gave us his autograph, after he refused to before.
Schumacher?
What is he thinking?
That's all right. Why don't you give it to Lita?
All right.
What a weirdo!
I failed at the All Japan Grand Prix, but I'll get Asurada this time.
For a team I owe everything to, and for Mr. Smith, I'll crush you in Peru.
Now, the signal has turned red.
And, it turns to blue. The cars start their race.
The second race of the Grand Prix, the Peru round.
The mountain race has begun.
Hayato made a good start.
Asurada seems to be in good condition.
OK. We're going to the relay point. Contact the helicopter quickly.
Yes.
Everybody, let's go!
Yes!
The sun will be setting in this place soon.
25 degrees below zero temperatures will follow.
With a rough road and rapidly changing conditions...
...they're really risking their lives.
Only 32% of the racers have completed this race in the last 3 years!
Who will survive and cross the finish line by daybreak?!
He made a promise to me. Can he really do it?
I'll bury you in the darkness of Peru, Asurada.
I can't fail matter what.
Make a promise. If you lie, you'll swallow a thousand needles.
I'll keep my promise to you, Lita.
...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
Bootsvorz's Missionel attacked me.
To avoid collision with him...
...Asurada fell off a cliff.
I escaped from the cockpit...
...but I got separated from Asurada at the bottom of a gorge.
I have to continue the race. Asurada, where are you?!
