The giant ruins of Stonehenge are looking down on us here at the Saulisbury Circuit.
It's the 5th Cyber Formula race at the British Grand Prix.
ROUND 5 BRITISH GRAND PRIX SALISBURY CIRCUIT
The warm-up run for this morning's qualifier is about to start.
Still winless in this season, yet holding the attention of the public, are Aoi Formula and Aoi Zip Formula.
They will finally have the new machine that has been rumored about
Introduced in the actual race here in England.
It's on the same level as last year's champion machine, the Super Asurada SA-01.
With an interchangeable chassis and the Aoi new spec hydrogen engine AW-15, it's the Experion Z/A-8.
How is last year's second-place winner, Shinjyo Naoki, going to drive this never-before-tested machine?
It's going to be an important moment for the future of Grand Prix racing.
And about the other Aoi Zip Formula...
Is there something going on?
The shutter to their pit stop has been closed since this morning.
A dangerous dream is beckoning us
Let's put ourselves to the challenge
Burn our souls with passion and grasp the victory
on this path that goes far beyond
LET'S GET IT LET'S TAKE IT
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
KEEP GOING KEEP RUNNING
JUST ON MY WAY
With my own way
Don't be afraid ONE WAY DRIVING
Surpassing the reality
To the future ALL NIGHT DRIVING
Shake off our memories
DON'T STOP! DREAMER ON THE ROAD
In the 4th race of the Cyber Formula world championship,
Kazami Hayato got off to a good start with a victory on the rainy Australian Grand Prix.
But each team is introducing their new high capability machines one after another.
As last year's model, the Super Asurada was clearly facing a more difficlut circuit.
At this point, the championship's first place racer is
After the 4th race Points Ranking 1st K.L. Randoll...........30 2nd Jackie Gudelhian... 20 3rd Shinjyo Naoki........17 4th Kazami Hayato.....10 Edelhi Bootsvorz........10 6th Hiyoshi Akira.........6
the genius, Karl Lichter von Randoll.
Following is Jackie Gudelhian,
while Kazami Hayato is in 4th, putting up a good fight.
And the 5th race in the British Grand Prix is about to start!
Just now the checkered flag was waved for the end of the warm-up run.
Welcome back.
Manager, time?
Your best lap was 1 minute 27.836 seconds, at 12th.
Who's at the top?
It's Gudelhian's 1 minute 25.804 seconds.
Two second difference...
Miki-san, it seems that the front end jumps at the corner.
Okay, I'll adjust it.
Maki, can you gather the data?
All right.
I can't win with Asurada as it is now.
What?
Aoi's new machine is quite well made, and the other team's skills are getting better...
You're acting weak again.
I'm not!
I mean that determination alone can't win the Grand Prix.
Hey, that's Schumacher!
Huh?
Schumacher showed up in Aoi Zip!
What?
That's news!
Hurry!
Make sure you get some comments!
Allow me to report that Aoi Zip Formula
has invited Mr. Knight Schumacher to be the team's driver starting in the British Grand Prix.
I knew you'd come back, Sugo.
Excuse me.
Hey, don't push!
Excuse us.
Nii-san...
Schumacher, why now? Why are you going to participate in the Grand Prix?
During my absence the Grand Prix has changed.
The machines, the teams, the techniques, and the wills of the drivers.
The real world champion should have all of the former put together; however...
To my regret, no one in the Grand Prix has satisfied that criteria yet.
Huh?
What?
I've returned to the circuit to prove it.
Well, that could be interpreted as criticism of last year's champion.
I don't care how you take it.
Have you fully recovered from that arm injury?
The result of the Grand Prix will show you.
That's all the questions we will take.
We'll be seeing you again after the race.
Schumacher, another comment!
How much confidence do you have to join the Grand Prix half way through?
Schumacher, please!
Let's go, Asuka.
Okay.
Hey!
Well said!
You and I will be racing against each other in the same machine and on the same course once again...
But this time, I'll win!
The times have changed already, senpai.
I'll be waiting for you at the trailer.
Make it quick, will you?
Nii-san.
Why are you entering the Gran Prix?
You didn't say anything to Dad or me.
As I said earlier...
It's to teach you that there's more to the Grand Prix than unskilled drivers trying to win.
Osamu, why are you doing this?!
You've been so supportive of me becoming a champion!
However, this year isn't going to be like that.
Hayato, once you square up against me, you become my enemy.
Don't ever forget that.
Nii-san!
After returning to the circuit, I stopped being Sugo Osamu.
Now if you'll excuse me.
You don't mind me getting you some, do you?
No, I don't.
Actually, I was surprised.
Finding out Knight Schumacher's true identity was Sugo Osamu...
It's not that I want to know how it came about...
I don't mind.
You've accepted me as a driver knowing I'm related to the Sugo family.
However, I want you to keep in mind that I don't completely trust you yet.
I'll be in a bind if you start helping Kazami Hayato using our machine, you know.
Of course.
I'm sorry to remind you, but are you sure that your intention is to win the championship?
We have Shinjyo-kun, who's doing his best,
but as far as the points are concerned, we've been reconciled to 3rd place in reality.
It's possible if I won all of the remaining six races.
You're very aggressive.
In oder to make it happen, you need both a team and a machine capable of winning.
I hope that'll explain why I contacted you.
I understand.
I'll be watching your run as the Supersonic Knight closely.
It's time for the qualifier.
Fight fiercely for one hundredth of a second
and fight against the invisible enemy. It's the time attack.
It's been thirty minutes since their lonesome fight began.
Right now, the only one
who holds the record of 24 seconds is
Aoi Zip's secret weapon, Knight Schumacher.
The Untied States and Germany united...
2nd is Jackie Gudelhian from Sturozech.
In 3rd, his condition is better than ever and
his skill is universally acknowledged, Edelhi Bootsvorz.
In 4th is Shinjyo Naoki, another from team Aoi!
It seems Shinjyo's having some difficult with his settings.
He also didn't do well on the time attack,
and he fell 2 seconds behind Schumacher, who drives the same machine.
Now, Kazami Hayato tries his first attack!
It's to teach you that there's more to the Grand Prix than unskilled drivers trying to win.
Osamu-san is now my enemy?
Why?
Eggrume corner approaching.
It's the front again!
He's passed the backstretch.
The sector time was 1 minute 1.236 seconds.
Right!
He did it.
1 minute 27.158 seconds!
Hayato-kun is in 8th now.
Eh?
Asuka-san.
I-I'm sorry!
All right.
The time's getting shorter for sure.
Yeah.
Manager.
Owner.
How's Hayato-kun?
He's just finished the first time attack.
Hayato's doing his best, but it's been difficult.
Does it mean that the Super Asurada has reached it's fullest potential?
Job well done.
You did a good job, Hayato.
Miki-san, the front still jumps at the corner.
That's strange...
This morning's setting should be perfect, though...
Maki.
I'll get it right away.
Nothing's wrong with the machine, but a corner is reading yellow during the simulations.
Asurada, do you know what's causing it?
TL note: Porpoising is a slang term used by pilots and drivers to describe an oscillating motion that occurs during stalls or some unknown cause. I don't see anything wrong with the hardware, but porpoising has indeed occurred.
Do you think a bump at the corner caused it?
I don't think so...
Wh-What are you doing?!
Huh?
That's dangerous.
An amateur like you touching the machine like that...
I'm sorry.
Could I take a look at the Super Asurada's running data?
Huh?
H-Hey you!
Outside shouldn't be interfering with this!
Miki...
I apologize. Jyounouchi-kun,
I haven't introduced you yet, but this lady is Miss Claire Fortlan.
She worked with Hayato-kun's father, Kazami Hiroyuki
and she designed the Super Asurada.
Huh?
Asurada's...
Change from manual C to +.12, -31 on the balance control in the front suspension and pitch control.
And an active suspension oil...
Let's see, could you switch it to 70 single?
That's...
Changing one part of the manual settings will cause the machine to lose it's balance!
Don't worry.
Could you, please?
Suspension oil is okay.
I'm done too.
Maki, can you load it?
Okay.
Reading all green on the simulation check.
That was all that is needed?
When something happens to the machine, it's the driver who pays the price with his life.
I don't think that using the word "perfect" so carelessly is a good idea.
We should pass the qualifier with the time we have now.
Let's skip the second time attack and redo the settings.
Hey...
Hayato-kun, are there any other areas you might be concerned about?
Use your own words if you'd like.
Could you tell us?
Huh?
Um...
Let's see...
Here we have 5 minutes to go in the qualifier.
And now, Randoll is going for the time attack.
The spectators' eyes are on him, Knight Schumacher.
What's the time on his second attack?
Incredible!
1 minute 24.626 seconds!
It's a course record!
Knight Schumacher... his supersonic still thrives!
He has put a checkmate on the pole position!
Randoll, Schumacher's time was 1 minute 24.626 seconds.
What?
He's just exceeded my expectations.
But for me...
I'll go under 24 seconds!
Osamu-san is indeed fast.
Asuka, it's hard to believe Osamu-san has become my enemy.
What?
Osamu-san's trying to teach us something.
I can feel it.
One thing's for sure...
As long as I'm in Grand Prix, there will be no way for me to win unless I pass him!
Accelerating on the grand straight, Randoll's just started his time attack!
Will the circuit's Amadeus be able to exceed supersonic speed?!
What?!
Wow! Randoll crashed!
Super lap failed!
He got caught with Schumacher who slowed down!
This is incredible!
Young Master!
There's no time left for the qualifier!
It's finished!
Unbelievable!
The magician of the super lap, Karl Lichter von Randoll has been dropped from the qualifier without a time!
Hold on, Randoll.
Young Master, are you all right?
Move it!
Randoll!
Hayato!
Schumacher!
Randoll!
What was that all about?
Hey, you!
Sorry about that.
The rear camera's sensor had a bad connection.
Then why were hanging around on the record line?!
Are you trying to tell me that your goggles prevented you from seeing the blue flag?
I was truing to avoid the record line.
Unfortunately, your machine was faster than mine.
Damn you!
You did that on purpose knowing you couldn't beat me.
Stop it, Randoll.
Whether I can or can't beat you, I'll be your opponent when you show up in the final.
A genius shouldn't be dropped out of a qualifier.
TL note: FICCY stands for Federation International Cruise of Cyber-Formula. The organization that runs the CF Grand Prix. Any complaints should go through FICCY.
It's foolish for you to storm in and complain in the pit.
Randoll...
Win, Hayato
If you're my rival, never lose to him.
Please wait, Young Master!
I misjudged you!
You used such a dirty trick.
There are so many unguarded moments....
Racing is a battle we risk our lives on.
Even if your carelessness was about as small as the hole in a needle,
if you show it to your opponents, they'll attack you whether you like it or not.
In tomorrow's final...
I'll crush you when I see that in you without mercy.
Keep that in mind!
The 5th Race British GP Final
The 24 machines have started all at once!
It's Gudelhian!
Gudelhian jumps in the lead!
Shinjyo's up there too!
At the first corner, he tries to cut through!
What?!
Damn it!
There have already been changes in the top positions!
Shinjyo jumps up to 2nd in one go!
The Aoi teams are taking first and second place!
What are you doing?!
It's only a joke.
Gudelhian gets ready for pursuit!
Following are Bootsvorz and Hiyoshi!
The machine is totally different compared to yesterday.
Why?
The front isn't jumping either.
Settings alone can change a machine this much?
We can do it.
We can do it, Asurada!
Yes!
Way to go, Hayato!
That little setting can change Hayato's run that much...
You're amazing, Miss Fortlan.
It was nothing.
Since the basic setting was very clear.
Knight Schumacher, running solo since the opening lap!
At speeds seen in the qualifier, he's leaving everyone behind!
No way! it's the same machine...
Dad, what's gotten into Nii-san?
He came back to Cyber Formula all of a sudden, and he was mean to Hayato...
Asuka,
Osamu was the one who introduced Miss Fortlan to me.
What?
Osamu sent her because he believes Sugo can't win a Grand Prix with the abilities we have right now.
The why would he race against Hayato?!
Nii-san has became Hayato's enemy...
Please trust him.
I'm sure that he has his own ideas.
I don't get it...
I don't get what he's thinking at all!
Asuka...
The race is already at the 58th lap.
Knight Schumacher's solo run continues!
Running 2nd is Shinjyo Naoki.
Jackie Gudelhian is in 3rd.
Nobody seems to be able to follow the top speed.
Indeed, the Supersonic Knight is invincible!
It's Schumacher... It can't be!
I won't go easy on you, Hayato.
Schumacher's closing in on the 5th place Super Asurada!
It was overtaken in a flash!
So easily...
Hayato-kun, Schumacher isn't the Sugo Osamu you once knew.
How do you...
There's no doubt that Schumacher has the skill to be the best driver in the racing world.
And on the circuit he's your enemy!
My enemy?
I'll give you weapon which is equal to his.
But the rest is up to you.
Any hesitation or dependence will result in your loss.
If you want championship you must defeat him.
Clarie-san...
Right now, I can't overcome your technique.
It's to teach you there's more to the Grand Prix than unskilled drivers trying to win.
But my feelings... I won't be defeated!
Let's go, Asurada!
Boost on!
Aero mode change!
Boost pod activated.
Starting the countdown to engine critical limit.
Can you keep up with me, Hayato?
Kazami Hayato's Super Asurada boldly chases Schumacher!
He's showing a championship's pride!
I can't even use his slipstream!
Both racers are accelerating down the backstretch!
Entering the X-bank, the high-speed corner!
A compounded corner with five banks, an irregular G-force weighs down upon the drivers.
It's becoming interesting.
Kazami's pace is increasing due to the battle against Schumacher.
The gap between 4th place Bootsvorz and 3rd is getting shorter.
Sugo!
No way!
He overtakes two cars at the same time!
How can he pass like that?
I can't be outdone by Schumacher!
We'll do it, Asurada!
Roger.
Kazami Hayato has caught up to Bootsvorz, who's in 4th!
Kazami is next?!
Don't underestimate me!
Tire grip has recovered.
Now, boost on!
After coming this far, I can't lose now!
Kazami Hayato's done it!
He overtook Bootsvorz and Gudelhian!
He quickly jumped to 3rd place!
Was that supposed to be a joke as well?
I'm sorry...
Schumacher now gets the checkered flag!
Even though he was one lap behind, Kazami Hayato gets the checkered flag coming in 3rd.
Next is Aoi's second new machine with Shinjyo Naoki taking 2nd.
Team Aoi was having difficulties in the beginning, but they've managed to claim 1st and 2nd place.
They've made a perfect comeback!
What's different?
What's the big difference between us?
Knight Schumacher had made his comeback race glorious with victory.
Together with Aoi's new machine, there's no one anywhere who can match him.
Finished 3rd from one lap behind, huh?
Sneaking onto a podium is something you can do do well.
Today was my complete defeat.
But next time I'll defeat you!
You talk like a full-grown man.
You and the champion have shown their true colors.
That's so mean!
To talk to him like that!
Asuka!
I'll never... think of you as Nii-san anymore!
Wait, Asuka!
Speed is the magic that gives us direction
the last of God's power drive
Now we can move on without hesitation
To a brand new that's alive
Believe each other
Because the joy that you find
Lasts just a moment in time
Believe each other
Two hearts with one single mind
Can take us where our hearts desire
Be cause it may not be the brightest of times
We must hold on together tight this time
So if we keep on dreaming
All can come true
We'll reach the light that's at the end of the rainbow
It may not be the happiest of times
To morrow you will see a rising sun
So keep on dreaming, always believe in yourself
Yes lead the way and make it for someone
So run like the wind and charge ahead
To the end, We are Winners.
