Haruka went off the track because his tire burst in the middle of the race. It turned out that the tires were worn out after he went too hard during the qualification in the previous episode.
Satsuki won the race just as he predicted. Haruka had a breakdown after the race, and Kouya got moved after seeing him and finally took a picture.
Viewers are excited to watch how Kouya and Haruka will support each other in their journey in Overtake! Episode 2. Saeko was annoyed with Kouya because she was running late for work because of him.
Saeko had heard that the final round was going to be intense, so she was planning to cover the paddock. They discussed how he should address her since her director always gave her a hard time whenever she gave work to Kouya.
They were shooting for Super GT and were preparing for a special issue. Girls were also taking an interest in motorsports.
They thought the drivers who raced and risked their lives were cool. Kouya was not feeling motivated, even though Saeko set him up with a big gig. He was struggling because of his flashback memories but managed to capture some good pictures of the race.
He was surprised by the number of cars and tires. He came across Ena, and the two of them greeted each other after meeting for such a long time.
Kouya told him he was at the venue to capture some pictures of the Super GT cars. Eda informed me that the pictures he took for their office were a hit.
He wished that Kouya had taken the interview photos, too. Kouya found out Eda was the owner of the racing team. He assumed that Eda was talking about Formula 1.
But Eda explained to him that the cars that were parked there were F4. He introduced Kouya to his team, and Kouya was stunned by the cars.
Satsuki, who was one of the racers on Eda’s team, asked Kouya to take good pictures of him at the winner’s podium.
