[00:00] HARUKA
    I don't need to be cheered on.
[00:02] HARUKA
    I can race alone.
[00:05] KOYA
    He's awesome.
[00:07] KOYA
    Watching him drive really
     sucks you into the race.
[00:11] TOSHIKI
    Try not to block the track while
    getting lapped today, Mr. Chicane.
[00:16] KOYA
    So I'll find someone who
    understands F4 and Komaki Motors.
[00:22] KOYA
    I'll take my time finding a sponsor
    who will really get what makes you so good.
[00:59] FUTOSHI
    He did it!
[01:00] KOYA
    He really did it!
[01:02] BOTH
    Yeah!
[01:05] SIGN
    Komaki Motors
[01:08] SIGN
    Komaki Motors
[01:08] KOTAROU
    Haru, that was a new personal best!
[01:10] KOTAROU
    That's amazing! Nice job!
[01:12] HARUKA
    Okay, I get it.
[01:16] HARUKA
    It was just a practice run, anyway.
[01:24] KOYA
    Congrats.
[01:25] HARUKA
    Like I said, it was just a practice run.
[01:30] HARUKA
    Thanks, though.
[01:32] SIGN
    Mikazuki Beverages
[01:33] HARUKA
    For finding a sponsor.
[01:35] KOYA
    Ah, well, I didn't find them, exactly.
[01:39] KOYA
    A friend introduced me to them.
[01:42] HARUKA
    All that practice with these new tires meant
    I got to try out all kinds of driving techniques.
[01:48] HARUKA
    We might actually do
    pretty well in tomorrow's race.
[01:53] KOYA
    I see.
[01:55] HARUKA
    How'd you find a sponsor, though?
[01:59] HARUKA
    All the other ones turned us down.
[02:03] KOYA
    Oh, uh, well...
[02:06] FUTOSHI
    Huh? Would you look at that!
     There's a scratch right here.
[02:10] KOTAROU
    Wow, you're right. That's no good.
    We'd better fix that right away.
[02:13] HARUKA
    Uh, that's been there for a while.
[02:16] SATO
    Hello, all.
[02:18] KOYA
    Oh, Sato-san. Hello.
[02:20] FUTOSHI
    It was good to see you the other day.
[02:22] FUTOSHI
    Thanks for making the long trip out here.
[02:25] SATO
    Oh, no, it's fine. Thank you for
    accommodating our urgent request.
[02:31] SATO
    Nice to meet you, Asahina Haruka-kun. I look
    forward to shooting your commercial today.
[02:38] HARUKA
    Commercial?
[02:47] HARUKA
    We're shooting a commercial?!
[04:26] KOYA
    S-So, uh...
[04:29] KOYA/ID
    I can't tell him.
[04:30] SAEKO
    By the way...
[04:33] SAEKO
    Remember that photo you
    sent me of the crying boy?
[04:37] KOYA
    What? You saw that?
[04:40] KOYA
    Ah, I sent you the wrong data.
[04:43] SAEKO
    When I showed it to a friend who makes ads
    for drink companies, they asked to meet him.
[04:50] SAEKO
    They said his crying face was great.
[04:55] KOYA/ID
    I can't tell him they agreed to sponsor us
    because they love how he looks when he cries.
[05:01] KOTAROU
    Shouldn't you say sorry to him?
[05:04] HARUKA
    Kota...
[05:05] KOTAROU
    It's not right to surprise someone like that.
[05:07] KOTAROU
    But if he hadn't caught you off-guard, you never
     would've agreed, Haru, so you're more to blame.
[05:11] KOTAROU
    Guilty. Apologize.
[05:13] HARUKA
    Why?
[05:14] HARUKA
    I can't be in a commercial.
[05:16] KOTAROU
    Now, now. Calm down.
[05:19] KOTAROU
    Remember how those new tires felt.
[05:23] KOTAROU
    Wasn't the grip good?
    Wasn't the braking better?
[05:26] FUTOSHI
    Didn't you get good traction?
[05:31] FILM STAFF
    Camera's rolling.
[05:37] DIRECTOR
    Just try to act as natural as possible.
[05:41] DIRECTOR
    That's it. Natural.
[05:44] DIRECTOR
    Good. You look really natural.
[05:48] DIRECTOR
    Very nice. Very natural.
[05:52] KOTAROU
    What does "natural" mean?
[05:57] FUTOSHI
    Looks like he finally gave in.
[06:00] KOYA
    Sorry for moving things forward
    without your approval.
[06:04] FUTOSHI
    It's fine. Haruka wouldn't
    have done it otherwise.
[06:08] KOYA
    Do you think it was cruel of me?
[06:11] FUTOSHI
    He's stubborn, just like his dad.
[06:14] FUTOSHI
    He steadfastly sticks to his guns.
[06:17] FUTOSHI
    If he really hated it,
    he wouldn't move a muscle.
[06:21] KOTAROU
    Shouldn't you be shooting him?
[06:24] KOYA
    Huh?
[06:25] KOTAROU
    With your camera.
[06:29] KOYA
    Oh, well, you know. It's better to let the
    ad specialists handle that sort of thing.
[06:35] KOYA
    They're way better than I am.
[06:37] KOTAROU
    Oh, yeah?
[06:39] FUTOSHI
    I thought the photo you showed us
     the other day was good. The crying one.
[06:44] KOYA
    Thank you. That was...
[06:50] KOYA
    I'm actually surprised
    I was able to take it at all.
[06:55] SATO
    Madoka-san.
[06:56] SATO
    The camera loves Haruka-kun
    as much as you said.
[07:00] KOYA
    Oh, this is nice!
[07:02] KOYA
    Yeah, that's a great expression.
[07:05] KOYA
    Haruka-kun always shows up when it's go time.
[07:08] SATO
    Right?
[07:13] SATO
    Would you be willing to
    answer a few questions?
[07:17] HARUKA
    Yes.
[07:18] SATO
    When did you start driving in F4?
[07:21] HARUKA
    I started last year.
[07:23] SATO
    Were you doing some other
    motorsport before that?
[07:27] HARUKA
    Just some go-karting.
[07:29] SATO
    I see. Was there anyone who
    inspired you to want to start driving?
[07:33] HARUKA
    Yes, my father.
[07:35] SATO
    So your father was a racer, too?
[07:38] SATO
    Are you driving because
     you admire your dad?
[07:41] HARUKA
    Yes. I mean, no.
[07:46] HARUKA
    It's half and half.
[07:48] SATO
    I see. So what makes up
    the other half you're driving for?
[07:54] HARUKA
    Well...
[07:57] HARUKA
    A lot of things, probably.
[08:02] MC
    In other words,
    you're only interested in winning?
[08:05] SATSUKI
    I guess so.
[08:06] SATSUKI
    But I'm able to focus solely on winning
[08:09] SATSUKI
    thanks to the support I get from our
    number two driver, Tokumaru-san.
[08:13] TOSHIKI
    Yeah, right. You only ever
    face forward when you drive.
[08:17] SATSUKI
    Aw, c'mon. You're spoiling my nice answer.
[08:21] SATSUKI
    In any case, even if I win,
    that victory doesn't only belong to me.
[08:25] SATSUKI
    It belongs to the whole team,
     including Tokumaru-san.
[08:29] MC
    Would you say leading the Belsorriso team
    to victory is the reason you two drive now?
[08:37] SATSUKI
    Of course. Right?
[08:40] TOSHIKI
    I do my job as the number two driver
    to contribute to the team's victory.
[08:48] TOSHIKI
    Satsuki, you talk too much.
[08:50] TOSHIKI
    The number two driver assisting the
    lead driver is a gray area in the rules.
[08:56] TOSHIKI
    You'll get the higher-ups on us.
[08:59] SATSUKI
    But too many people think the number two
    driver is just the guy who comes in second.
[09:05] SATSUKI
    That doesn't bother you, Toshi-kun?
[09:07] TOSHIKI
    I told you not to call me Toshi-kun.
[09:09] TOSHIKI
    I'm older than you.
[09:12] SATSUKI
    Yeah, 'cause you're T-old-shi.
[09:16] SATSUKI
    Did you know, Alice-chan?
[09:17] ALICE
    Yes?
[09:18] SATSUKI
    Toshi-kun's actually way faster.
[09:22] SATSUKI
    He just happened to graze
    another machine in the audition—
[09:26] TOSHIKI
    Satsuki.
[09:27] TOSHIKI
    Did you see we're supposed
    to show up early tomorrow?
[09:30] SATSUKI
    What? Show me.
[09:32] TOSHIKI
    Look it up yourself. I'm not going
    to start helping you offtrack, too.
[09:39] SATSUKI
    What's that?
[09:40] SATSUKI
    Are they filming something?
[09:42] ALICE
    Oh, um, apparently, Haruka-kun of
    Komaki Motors is shooting a commercial.
[09:47] SATSUKI
    A commercial?
[09:51] SATSUKI
    What?
[09:53] SATSUKI
    I totally thought I'd be the first
    F4 driver to be in a commercial.
[10:06] KOTAROU
    You beat yesterday's
    practice time by 0.3 seconds.
[10:10] HARUKA
    I thought I could do even better.
[10:12] KOTAROU
    Don't be greedy.
[10:14] KOTAROU
    Qualifying in eighth is great.
[10:17] KOTAROU
    The real race is still to come.
[10:20] HARUKA
    I'm going to our tent.
[10:22] KOTAROU
    Mikazuki Beverages is already there.
[10:25] KOTAROU
    Act natural.
[10:27] HARUKA
    Quit it.
[10:34] ENA
    Tokumaru's second and Harunaga's third.
[10:37] ENA
    We failed to get pole position, huh?
[10:39] SATSUKI
    I'm sorry. Increasing the downforce
    was the wrong way to go for this track.
[10:46] ENA
    And you, Tokumaru?
[10:47] TOSHIKI
    My setup suited the track.
[10:50] TOSHIKI
    I went with less wing than Harunaga,
    but didn't struggle for grip.
[10:56] ENA
    I see. You were
    seven-tenths off the pole time.
[11:04] ENA
    That's within reach.
[11:07] TOSHIKI
    Excuse me.
[11:09] TOSHIKI
    Today...
[11:12] TOSHIKI
    Could I be the lead driver?
[11:21] TOSHIKI
    My setup and machine are
    better suited to this track.
[11:25] TOSHIKI
    I'm in great shape.
    I can definitely pass him.
[11:29] TOSHIKI
    I can seize victory for the team.
[11:37] ENA
    Fine.
[11:42] ENA
    Tokumaru, you'll drive in front of Harunaga.
[11:45] ENA
    But only for 20 minutes.
[11:48] TOSHIKI
    What?
[11:50] ENA
    If you can't pass first in 20 minutes,
     you'll let Harunaga by.
[11:54] TOSHIKI
    You mean...
[11:55] ENA
    Harunaga, stay behind Tokumaru
    and let him drag you along.
[11:58] SATSUKI
    Got it.
[12:00] ENA
    Tokumaru.
[12:02] ENA
    I'm counting on you.
[12:08] TOSHIKI
    Yes, sir.
[12:10] TOSHIKI
    Damn it.
[12:11] TOSHIKI
    Drive in front, my ass.
[12:13] TOSHIKI
    He just wants me to be a windbreak for him.
[12:18] HARUKA
    Tokumaru.
[12:22] TOSHIKI
    Hey.
[12:26] TOSHIKI
    You seem to be doing well.
    I heard you even got a sponsor, too.
[12:31] TOSHIKI
    Not that there's any point in spending money
    on someone who drives however he wants.
[12:42] TOSHIKI
    Stop getting in my way
    during races, Mr. Chicane.
[12:48] HARUKA
    Like I told you, you're the
    one who was too hasty.
[12:52] TOSHIKI
    Shut up. Because of you, I...
[12:58] TOSHIKI
    I won't forget what you did.
[13:01] KOYA
    Oh, it's you.
[13:07] KOYA
    What was that about?
[13:09] KOYA
    Why does he always do that before races?
[13:12] KOYA
    Maybe someone should tell him off
    for once. No, that'd be going too far.
[13:17] KOTAROU
    Something happen to him?
[13:20] KOYA
    Are you okay? Deep breaths, deep breaths.
[13:23] KOYA
    They say you should count to
     three when you're annoyed.
[13:27] KOYA
    Oh, and holding something cold
     to your head works, too.
[13:30] HARUKA
    It's six seconds.
[13:31] KOYA
    What?
[13:33] HARUKA
    In anger management,
[13:35] HARUKA
    they teach you to count to six, not three.
[13:40] HARUKA
    I'm fine.
[13:43] HARUKA
    I'll settle things with him in the race.
[13:46] HARUKA
    I show up when it's go time, right?
[14:12] COMMENTATOR
    And the action's underway.
[14:22] SATSUKI
    Toshi-kun sure is fast.
[14:48] KOYA
    Hm? What's he doing?
[14:51] KOYA
    He's driving awfully close to him.
[14:54] TOSHIKI/ID
    Fine. I'll be your windbreak.
[14:56] TOSHIKI/ID
    But only for 20 minutes.
[14:59] TOSHIKI/ID
    I'll pass the car in front for first by then.
[15:19] TOSHIKI/ID
    This time.
[15:27] KOTAROU
    Heck yeah.
[15:29] KOTAROU
    Did you see that? Haru's on fire.
[15:32] KOYA
    Yeah. He so is.
[15:36] KOYA
    Those two cars are driving
    awfully close together.
[15:40] KOTAROU
    Yeah, that's a slipstream.
[15:43] KOYA
    Slip?
[15:44] KOTAROU
    The slipstream effect.
[15:46] KOTAROU
    When a car sticks close to
     the back of the one in front,
[15:49] KOTAROU
    the force of the air pulls
    the one in the back forward,
[15:52] KOTAROU
    allowing it to conserve power and such.
[15:57] KOYA
    I see.
[15:58] FUTOSHI
    Normally, it's something
    you'd make rival drivers do,
[16:01] FUTOSHI
    but Belsorriso does it
    within their own team.
[16:04] FUTOSHI
    Maybe they're going for a one-two finish.
[16:08] KOYA
    Huh.
[16:11] TOSHIKI/ID
    My machine's lighter now
    that I've got less fuel.
[16:14] TOSHIKI/ID
    I'm starting to go even faster.
[16:16] TOSHIKI/ID
    I knew it. This setup is
    perfect for this track.
[16:32] KOTAROU
    Yes!
[16:41] KOYA
    All right!
[16:42] KOYA
    This is great! Haruka-kun's already up to fifth.
[16:45] FUTOSHI
    Yup, yup.
[16:46] KOTAROU
    You're almost there, Haru.
[16:56] TOSHIKI
    Okay, I've got this.
    I can pass him on the next corner.
[17:05] TOSHIKI/ID
    Drop behind?
[17:11] ENA/ID
    Tokumaru's machine rapidly
    builds up speed due to its skinny wing,
[17:15] ENA/ID
    but its lower downforce
    makes braking difficult.
[17:20] ENA/ID
    In contrast, Harunaga's machine...
[17:23] ENA/ID
    not only has power to spare
    thanks to Tokunaga's slipstream,
[17:27] ENA/ID
    but the downforce produced by his
    fatter wing means his tires are less worn.
[17:32] ENA/ID
    In other words, right now...
[17:36] ENA
    Harunaga is faster.
[17:44] SATSUKI
    Toshi-kun?
[17:45] TOSHIKI/ID
    Not yet. I can keep this up.
[17:51] TOSHIKI/ID
    If I've exhausted my
    resources, then so has he.
[17:57] TOSHIKI/ID
    My brakes!
[17:59] COMMENTATOR
    Oh, no! The 36 car slides
    offtrack at the V Corner,
[18:03] COMMENTATOR
    and the cars behind
    pass him one after another.
[18:10] TOSHIKI
    You're not getting past me.
[18:16] FUTOSHI
    Haruka and Tokumaru-kun
    are going head-to-head.
[18:19] KOYA
    Um, did something happen between those two?
[18:23] KOYA
    He comes to pick a fight before most races.
[18:27] KOTAROU
    They had a bit of trouble
    in a race a year ago.
[18:29] FUTOSHI
    It happened shortly
    after he started racing in F4.
[18:32] FUTOSHI
    Apparently, Belsorriso was conducting
    a driver audition during that race.
[18:37] FUTOSHI
    Our machine was out of sorts back then.
[18:40] FUTOSHI
    We got the blue flag.
[18:43] FUTOSHI
    Haruka followed the rules
    and stuck to the outside,
[18:46] FUTOSHI
    but Tokumaru-kun tried to pass the car
     in front of him around the outside.
[19:00] KOYA
    So he charged into him as
    he was getting out of the way?
[19:03] KOTAROU
    Yeah, exactly. It's totally unjustified!
[19:06] FUTOSHI
    I suppose. But it's not that simple.
[19:11] FUTOSHI
    That's just how it is in racing.
[19:14] TOSHIKI
    Not you, Asahina Haruka.
[19:16] TOSHIKI
    I'll never lose to you.
[19:23] KOTAROU
    It's the final lap!
[20:01] KOYA
    Is that...
[20:04] KOYA
    a slipstream?
[20:06] TOSHIKI
    You brat.
[20:18] KOTAROU
    Whoa!
[20:19] BOTH
    Yes!
[20:42] SATSUKI
    Yeah! Peace, peace, peace!
[20:49] KOYA
    Fourth is a new personal
    best for you. Congrats.
[20:52] HARUKA
    Whatever. I didn't even get third.
     So no winner's podium for me.
[20:59] KOYA
    Have you ever been up there?
[21:01] HARUKA
    A long time ago.
[21:04] HARUKA
    When my dad...
[21:06] HARUKA
    won a race.
[21:11] HARUKA
    That's why I race.
[21:13] HARUKA
    To make it up there myself someday,
     not because someone else won.
[21:20] HARUKA
    That's the other half...
[21:23] HARUKA
    of the reason I race.
[21:27] KOYA
    Shall we celebrate?
[21:29] HARUKA
    Nah. I didn't even make it onto the podium.
[21:34] HARUKA
    Hey! What are you doing?
[21:36] KOYA
    A win is still a win.
[21:42] KOYA
    Now you've done it! I'll get you!
[21:45] KOTAROU
    Are they teenagers?
[21:46] FUTOSHI
    Shall we join them?
[21:47] KOTAROU
    What? Hey!
[21:48] HARUKA
    Quit it!
[21:50] KOTAROU
    Us, too.
[21:51] HARUKA
    Don't get any on the machine.
    The final race is tomorrow.
[21:53] KOTAROU
    Get him!
[21:54] FUTOSHI
    It's all right. We've got another one.
[21:56] HARUKA
    Don't, Kota!
[22:00] TOSHIKI
    Damn it.
[22:03] TOSHIKI
    Why? Why?!
