Chapter 267 Summary: The Ultra- Tough Downhill Kanata Line

Back at the battle for 5th place, the Yakima-Kita gang have caught up to #6. Yanagida is surprised that Yashio and Kitahara are this close to him whilst back in the booth, Yamatani comments how fighting Kanata and Beckenbauer lit a fire in Nozomi. He also notes that she has begun to drag Kakeru with her and both are ascending to the next level. He wonders if fighting the top 2 can really have this big of an effect.

At the fight for second place, Kanata is now right behind Sawatari who cannot believe the car behind him is really Kanata. The pressure he feels from behind him is like nothing else he has ever felt, pressure so powerful it’s swallowing him like a powerful magnetic field or black hole.

Tanaka notes that #86 & #4 are just under 3 seconds behind the #12. On the exit of the next corner, Kanata gets a much better exit than Sawatari and pulls alongside him on the entry to the next hairpin.

This causes Sawatari to be shocked that Kanata would attack so aggressively on the outside of a hairpin.
