Kanata Rivington arrives in Japan from England with the intention of racing in a relatively new motorsports category that's taken the world by storm: MFG.
Kanata begins his qualifying run around the 40 kilometer-long Odawara Pikes Peak, aiming to set a quick time. But with a seriously underpowered car compared to his rivals, how high up the leaderboard can he get?
Impressing everyone with his drifting abilities, Kanata aims to finish his qualifying lap with a flourish. But with a long straight just before the line exposing his car's deficiencies, will he make it into the race proper?
Ren and Kanata continue their tour of Kamakura in the hopes of finding the place where Kanata's parents took their photograph together.
The two-lap race of Odawara Pikes Peak is underway. With his tires now up to temperature, can Kanata start making his way through the field despite his power disadvantage?
Kanata zooms up to the back of the Yashi-Kita Gang in no time, but getting past them is another matter entirely. Meanwhile, the two leaders go wheel-to-wheel for the lead of the race.
While everyone is suitably impressed with what Kanata is achieving, there are battles up and down the field, and it quickly becomes apparent that the 86 isn't the only car the MFG viewers should be keeping a close eye on.
On the approach to the death zone for the second time, Kanata starts to make his move. But does he have enough life left in his tires to climb up the order?
After making up a bunch of places in the death zone, Kanata enters the final sector, but with the long straight at the end of the lap highlighting the 86's main weakness, can he hold on to his current position all the way to the checkered flag?
Kanata managed to haul the 86 up to unexpected heights at Odawara Pikes Peak, but the next race is on a course that is a lot flatter with fewer downhill sections where he can make up for his car's lack of power, so it's time to tune his ride!
Qualifying begins for the second race of the season, which is set to take place at Lake Ashinoko. With Kanata set to do his run on a later day, other drivers get their moment to shine.
Ren's mother discovers the secret to Kanata's prodigious talent and the two reminisce about his much-missed mother, Katherine. Meanwhile, Sawatari's monster lap has unsettled the drivers who are still yet to set a time.
Katagiri Kanata shows what he's made of in the race on the Ashinoko track! With daring drifts through the dangerous "Death Zone," he secures a provisional eighth place despite tough competition and technical challenges.
On the wet track, Kanata Katagiri impresses with his driving skills. Despite difficult weather conditions, he remains steady in the race, while his competitors struggle with the weather.
Katagiri Kanata drives his Toyota 86 GT remarkably fast, even though he lacks grip on the wet road, and overtakes several more powerful cars. Ikeda praises Kanata's precise driving technique and his experience on European racetracks, which help him under these conditions.
While Kanata continues to keep pace in the wet conditions with the ever-expanding third-place group, Sawatari dukes it out with Beckenbauer for the lead of the race.
A mistake by Oishi sees him exit the race, but he's not the only driver experiencing difficulties as the rain intensifies.
As the competitors enter their third and final lap, the rain starts to ease, but the change in weather conditions brings with it something unexpected.
After schooling the rest of the field on how to drive through the fog, Kanata emerges from the white wall with a big gap to the car behind. Can he stay in front? Meanwhile, the two leaders do battle once more.
Taking advantage of the superior horsepower of his Ferrari, Akaba is hunting Kanata down, and with them running out of road, it'll be a desperate dash to the line for both drivers.
A new rival, Moroboshi Sena, arrives on the scene and introduces himself to Kanata.
The third race on the MFG calendar at the Peninsula Manazaru gets underway and Kanata takes to the course with a major upgrade to the 86.
Kanata sets a rapid time in qualifying, but his mere presence on the grid has seemingly raised the level of a number of his competitors.
Much to his relief, Kanata manages to save Ren in the nick of time, but he bangs his elbow in the process and shifting gears is now a problem. How will he fare in the Peninsula race?
Kanata drops through the positions due to an injured elbow and an inability to use second gear, until...
Kanata starts re-asserting himself despite his injury, but can he really make up so much lost ground?
Kanata's comeback continues, and finally brings him into conflict with the top three racers.
Kanata has fought his way back up to the top positions, as the Manazuru Peninsula race comes to a close.
Kanata joins Ren on her trip to Niigata, to visit her Grandma.
Ren invites Kanata out to the beach, but some serious news threatens to put a damper on their plans.
A friend of Kanata's from England arrives in Japan to compete in MFG, and Aiba crashes the beach party.
Qualifiers for the Double Lane race are underway, with Sawatari putting on an impressive time trial.
Heading into the Double Lane race, Kanata's qualifying run is impressive but hints at the conflict to come...
Kanata and Ren struggle with their feelings, while Beckenbauer realizes he has been tricked.
An early mishap in the race leaves Kanata, Beckenbauer, and Sawatari scrambling to make up for last time.
Kanata and Beckenbauer continue their ascent, leading to an unlikely first-time matchup for Kanata...
