Ep 7. Act. 7 The Stormy 85 Turbo

As Takumi and the others prepare for their next race, the team decides to give Takumi's Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 a tune-up. They replace the carburetor with a Weber carburetor, giving it more power and making it more competitive. Meanwhile, Takumi's father Bunta is busy assembling an old car, the 1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 that he used to drive. Bunta is confident that the car has the potential to perform better than Takumi's AE86, and challenges his son to a race.

The race takes place on a mountain road filled with hairpin turns and unexpected obstacles. The weather is also unpredictable, with rain pouring down intermittently throughout the race. As Takumi and Bunta race towards the finish line, it becomes clear that Bunta's AE86 is faster and better tuned than Takumi's. However, Takumi's skills as a driver and his knowledge of the course give him an advantage in the corners.

As the race progresses, the weather worsens, and the road becomes slick and dangerous. Takumi struggles to maintain control of his car, but he is determined to win. He pushes his AE86 to the limit, taking risks and making daring maneuvers that keep him ahead of his father. Meanwhile, Bunta stays close behind, waiting for the right moment to take the lead.

Ultimately, the race comes down to the final stretch, with the finish line in sight. Takumi and Bunta are neck and neck, and the outcome is uncertain. But as they approach the final turn, Takumi pulls ahead, gaining a small lead over his father. He takes the turn with precision and skill, leaving Bunta behind. In the end, Takumi crosses the finish line first, winning the race and proving that he is still the best driver in the family.

As the episode ends, Takumi reflects on the race and the lessons he learned from his father. He realizes that his skills as a driver have grown tremendously in the past year, and he is becoming more confident in his abilities. However, he also knows that there is always more to learn, and he is eager to continue his journey as a racer. With each race he faces, he becomes closer to mastering the art of drifting, and he knows that he will continue to improve with each challenge he faces.
