Meanwhile, Rhodes is still in the lead. Rhodes is still in the lead, trailed by Jin by about 3 seconds.
Rubina has also moved up to 4th place.

Lackhardt's commentary is getting stronger and stronger.

Jin was also 2 seconds ahead of the 3rd place finishers. And he was using Rhodes' car as a pacemaker.

(Surprisingly easy ......)
Yes, it was easier for him to follow the car behind since the performance of the cars were close to each other. As a run-away type driver, this was the first time for me to know this.
Rhodes is a good driver. Better than Jin.

And Jin was beginning to get the hang of how to make Rhodes run, albeit somewhat by following behind him.
Rhodes knows this, too, but it is difficult to run fast enough to outrun Jin. At least for now.
(I can go full throttle with less than 10 laps to go, though.)

) It was with this thought in mind that Rhodes drove his car.
But for Rhodes, a northerner, it is not a burden to run at the current pace.

Marikka, on the other hand, was not so sure.
(ah, ah, ah, ah ......)
Even at a young age, her athletic abilities were below average.

But she was talented in engineering and magic, and as Jin's first disciple in the Nordic Federation, she is at the top of her family in that field.
However, although she has become more thoughtful with age, her athletic ability has declined.

For Theon, Marikka will always be "that girl".

Running second from last is the car of Greenina Kuzma, number 4.

As we are now in the middle of the race, there is a tendency for the male participants to be in the top positions and the female participants to be in the bottom positions.
It is simply a difference in driving ability. Since they do not usually drive vehicles by themselves, they are not good at this kind of competition.
Although she was glad that she was not in last place, she was a little bit disappointed that it was her beloved Marikka.

But then...
"Huh?"
Marikka's number 13 seems to be catching up a little.

Ruckhardt noticed this and asked a question.
<<
Marikka was not taking the line particularly consciously. She did not even calculate that the in-course course is even slightly shorter.

She was running approximately in the middle of the course.
And there are almost no other cars running in that area. In other words, the road surface is not rough and easy to drive on.
In addition, Marikka cars have mild characteristics. In addition, Marikka's cars are mild in character, i.e., they are built with emphasis on

Therefore, Marikka was able to drive the car at her own pace, and therefore her lap times were gradually ...... improving, albeit slightly.
Furthermore, Maricka, like Rhodes, is a genuine

And except for her unfamiliarity with the controls, Marikka's concentration is unparalleled. That's why she is the leader in engineering magic.

The crowd went wild.
"Go for it, Marikka!

Marikka was so focused on the race that she could not hear the cheers.

The first lap of the race was a little slow.
On the 15th lap, several groups were forming.

The leaders are still 12,11,10,9 with a 1 to 3 second gap. The second group was 5 seconds behind.
The second group is 5 seconds behind with 8,2,6,3.
The third group is another 4 seconds behind with 7,5,1,4,13.

No, 13 is running at his own pace, so it may not be a group. .......
"Nah, I can't seem to get past Jin-sama!"

Rhodes, number 12, is in the lead and Jin, number 11, is in second place. Rubina, number 10, is running in third place. Just behind is number 9, Elvis Alcott.
Now Jin and Rubina are going tail to nose.
It was interesting to see them duke it out. Most of the spectators were watching the battle for second place.

Jin was running what he thought was his best line.
Rubina was following him, and she was following a line similar to Jin's. But this was a mistake. However, this was a mistake.

Rubina's car, which was following a line similar to that of Jin's car with completely different performance and characteristics, was not able to fully utilize its characteristics.
Tires with metal spikes, plenty of torque.
To make the most of these characteristics, the car should have entered the corner at an acute angle, spun the rear wheels to change direction at once after decelerating sharply, and then let the wheels spin down to get a grip and accelerate steadily.

Such sharp cornering is suited to the car.
But Rubina is still too inexperienced to realize that.
That's why Jin thinks this kind of competition will bring her a lot. And so do the other participants.

Jin's car has rubber tires, so it runs with a sure grip. He follows the theory of "throw-in-first-out" in cornering. Well, this part is taken from a manga I once read.

At the end of the race, Marikka had finally overtaken the number 4 car and moved up to 12th place.
"Marikka-sama, you are definitely getting a little bit faster!"
By lap 18, Maricka had set a time of 37.7 seconds, equivalent to 3rd place in the qualifying round.

As the cheers of the crowd grow louder, numbers 12 and 11 go tail-to-nose. Jin seems to have mastered the art of running the best line.
（No, Jin-sama is not to be underestimated. We have to spurt here. ......!)
