At race. Avery lead the first round on downhill. Kick still follow and tailgate her. Avery saw her back mirror
"At this rate, Lighter FR cars have more advantage at corner. But he's GT-R still able to tailgate me. I don't know how much the power you have. But it's obviously not small. The stock model of GT-R pushing 280 hp. But, don't you dare to underestimate FR layout for R32. Even your car is very good at straight road. But you can't passed me in low speed corner!" Avery pushing to gas pedal harder
At Alice Human Slasher. Gordie asked Rester
"What do you think about this all-around race, Rester-san. You're already hit the nail in hillclimb." Gordie asked Rester
"It's hard to explained. But Avery is also a semi-legend in the team and she drives one of the most powerful rear wheel drive car." Rester repleid
"But it's not gonna be a very easy battle. Since she facing her cousin Kick Buttowski!" Gordie angry
"You seems have a serious problem with Buttowski from Project KB in the past. What kind of trouble he cost to you?." Rester confused and aksed Gordie
"A lot. He's nothing but a loser! A snobby amateur daredevil who's tried to kill me everytime I race with him. He's really make me sick." Gordie replied angrily
At Downhill Start Checkpoint
"Chad. Do you remember? Mark Riverson from Team 426? He chose to lead until the last section but he lost balance at the end." Murasa asked Chad
"Yeah I remember. He's the one who drive fully balance Mazda Roadster NB8C. He chose to lead because inspired by Nue's driving. But this opponent also the same like him. She chose to lead because she will to pulled Buttowski away. I already talked to Kick about today's strategy. But he said it won't be easy because today is his first day to race." Chad repleid
"Yeah, that's true. Compared to Buttowski R34 and Avery R32. What's the different between both cars?" Murasa asked Chad
"It's simple. Buttowski using 4WD with ATTESA E-TS and Super HICAS while Avery only using rear wheel drive. Kick has more advantage at straight and high speed corner but Avery has more advantage at low speed and mid speed corner. Since both of them using GT Wing. The balance are the same. But unlike Buttowski. Avery R32 is lighter than him. Before the battle started I said to Kick to using his ghost power in 3rd section. But this theory also same like Nue. I instructed him to slammed the gas at that corner because that place is the weak spot of rear wheel drive cars." CHad replied and explained
"Could it be? You want him to pulled away our opponent while rear wheel drive is off balance?" Murasa shock and asked
"That's true. Even rear wheel drive has a lot of advantage at low speed corner. But R32 is consider as heavy car that can bear the rear wheel tires." Chad repleid
Back at battle. Avery sightly pulled Kick away. But Kick still calm
"I didn't make any unprepared mistake at this rate. But the gap is sightly widen. Even R32 is consider as a massive car but it sneaky enough at mid speed corner. There's no need to worry about it. I must follow Chad's instruction. No matter it'll be successful or failed." Kick still calm and smile while driving
Then both Kick and Avery take an advantage at gutter by wheel lifting control technique
"So. He's really knows how to drive faster at gutter. Impressive, cousin Kick. But after this part. We will be entered lots of sharp low speed corner. As long I didn't make a mistake at my advantage. This battle will be settled in first round." Avery impressed with Kick and sightly pulled him away
Both Kick and Avery entered low speed corner. Avery without braking entered the corner. But Kick sightly brake and the gap was widen a bit
"Right after this. We will entered mid speed section. The rear wheel drive car with perfect balance will have more advantage rather than 4WD cars. Since I joined this team. All 4WD drivers scared with me. But now, it's your turn to afraid of me. Rear wheel drive control are better in corner. 4WD just nothing but a failure, not just weak at acceleration, it also make the tire blew easily." Avery underestimate 4WD cars
After both Kick and Avery went through mid speed section. They arrived at 2nd section. Someone using stopwatch and timing them. And send it to Alice Human Slasher
"Whoa... Look at this Gordie. They're faster then we expected. I don't believe that they're really serious even it's the beginning of race." Rester shocked
"It means Kick Buttowski is not a joke at all. Even he's new at Project KB. But, he's also fast like the two drivers from Project KB." Gordie replied
"After this first section. Avery will have more advantage at this place. Even 4WD are strong in straightway. But the 2nd section will be the time when Avery will accelerating somewhere and pulled Project KB R34 GT-R." Rester spoke
At Downhill Start Checkpoint. Nue explained to Nazrin
"What did you expect from Buttowski this time. Nue-san?" Nazrin asked
"What I know is he has more advantage at long straightway and low speed section. Since he used 4WD on his GT-R. I guess he will pass rear will drive R32 in high speed section when it's disadvantageous for rear wheel drive cars. But R32 from Racing Team Mellowbrook School Version obviously will accelerating somewhere at low speed section and that place is very disadvantageous for 4WD cars. But, we don't worry about Buttowski. My brother has a plan and he already know when rear wheel drive R32 will have a disadvantageous. Even both of the driver fight seriously as half-ghost. But as long we have a full legend Chad Dylan Cooper, It's impossible for us... to win Northern Kanto Region." Nue replied and explained
Back at race. Avery still able to make her gap with Kick sightly widen in every low speed corner.
"It's so slow to pulled him away in low speed section. But I guess I will pulled him away when I entered a very sharp corner after this gutter run." Avery planned to pulled Kick away
Both of Kick and Avery using gutter again and this time Kick make his gap shorter
"I can't keep up the distance while in low speed section. But if we entered sharp low speed corner and she will accelerating and used ghost power in there. I'll finished. But I don't want to lose either! What should I do?" Kick panicked
At Hillclimb Start Checkpoint. Racing Team Mellowbrook Halfas Version
"Eh? Looks like there still no gap between bot of them. What do you think Annabelle? or Brad?" Mellowbrook Halfas Senpai asked
"To me. I guess she will pulled Kick away in first sharp corner in 2nd section. They just newly arrived at 2nd section and entered a lot of low speed section. But Avery still have her last card at sharp corner and she will be pulled Kick away and used her ghost power." Annabelle replied in Southern Belle Accent
"Avery has a perfect balance and great tires control. She refuses to install racing tires and she drives with understeer. And that's why Avery has a lot of advantages in peaky low speed corner rather than Dillweed does. And she has more experience with understeer and driving without grip." Brad spoke
"Well... that's true." Mellowbrook Halfas Senpai replied
"I agree with Annabelle expectation. With ghost power and her tires skill management. She will used sharp corner to make advantage. Unlike Dillweed. He has more advantage at high speed section and long staightway. Today's battle key is tires management." Brad spoke and agree with Annabelle
"Same here. She can run in very high speed with dying tires. But, it won't be last very long. If she mercilessly used her rear tires without thinking about it. Her tires will be unexpectedly blew up." Annabelle replied
At Downhill Start Checkpoint. Project KB
"According from the strategic. I think the most important things on both downhill and hillclimb is tires. If someone wear out tires and without mercy used them. The result will be critical. Unlike circuits, public streets put more stressed at tires because of picky corners. The result will be determinate by tires. If you want to overcome the understeed. You have to make some limit." Chad explained
"Well... that's not difficult for overcome it." Murasa replied
"Danger-dude is actually a natural since he was become a daredevil." Wade also replied
"The place when you want to sacrifice more tires limit... is the place that you settled to do it." Chad continue to explain
Avery pushed into acceleration and she turned into a ghost before entered first sharp corner then she shows her ghost aura then without braking entered sharp corner.
"This is bad. I just make one unprepared mistake. And it's in my weak spot. Even I already pushes it into limit. But, 4WD are disadvantageous at sharp corner." Kick shock after Avery turned into a ghost
"I already used everything. I'm used 100% of my human power and ghost power. Now what I've to do is pulled him away!"
At Alice Human Slasher.
"(Laugh) The real battle has just started. Since both of them are using the same platform. The difference will not be so much. As long both of them using GT Wing as a spoiler, so they can make more balance on their aerodynamic. But R32 with lighter body and rear wheel drive has more advantage at every low speed corner. But unlike GT-R with 4WD. Rear wheel drive will be burn more rear tires so it can exploded somewhere else." Rester explained
"So it means 4WD still have more advantage. So that's why Buttowski still able to tailgate her." Gordie replied
Back at Race. Avery disappeared in every low speed corner. She didn't brake at all in sharp corner. But her rear tires burned. Kick panicked but still able to catch up
"The gap between two of us is still not far away. And we're will entered 3rd section... 3rd section!? That just like Chad-san told me before the race started." Kick remembered what Chad said
"Right when you entered the 3rd section. There will be an advantage. You will do it in first sharp corner. That's the place when you use the ghost power. Just do it. There's no backing down! Do you Understand?" Chad replied
"I Understand." Kick replied
"I guess now it's the time we're gonna settled the result. Cousin Avery rear tires burned and can't pulled away any longer right now. Just like Chad-san predict, I must used my ghost power in the next mid speed corner. Let's settled it!" Kick realize Chad's prediction and turned into a ghost
Kick pulled away as much as possible and finally side by side with Avery. Both of them entered mid speed corner in the same time. At Downhill Start Checkpoint
"Actually. The strategy I gave to Buttowski yesterday was to save his tires until the place that he can settled his high speed. We just wait for our opponent to make their tires gave up. So I gave Wade how to settings 4WD into perfect for balance." Chad explained
"Yesterday. We already installed Danger-Dude's R34 GT-R for handling and balance with using racing tires, it wouldn't make the tires stress easily." Wade replied
"When I was practice with Kick yesterday. He didn't have any hard time to take advantage at corner. Even I can't catch up with him. He's already disappeared from both of us. Since that day, I'm glad that the person who's stronger than two of us is my friend not my enemies." Gunther also replied
"I guess you can say that. If Buttowski using the strategy. We can't afford to second round. Go, Buttowksi. Show us how skillful you are in Project KB." Chad believe in Kick
Back at race. Both Kick and Avery side by side in first 3rd section mid speed corner
"I already used everything I've got. But why he still able to catch me!? ******! I won't give up. I already come to this far!" Avery shocked then accelerated
Then Kick using gutter run while side by side with Avery
"You pulled up too much, Kick. 4WD cars didn't have any advantage to low speed corner. If you can do in such a speed you will end up with hit the wall! Are you commit suicide in low speed corner!?" Avery shocked after Kick passed her
Avery brake and have a severe deadlock at low speed corner. But Kick didn't brake and disappear in low speed corner
"Impossible! He obviously using ghost power and from beginning he save his tires from 3rd section. So that's why he can keep up with me. But, I don't want to lose here!" Avery freaked
Both Kick and Avery entered long straightway. Kick make his gap between himself and Avery far away
"I don't want to lose here! Right after this long straightway. There's a low speed corner. I'll tackle you down there even I'll messed my car!" Avery panicked
Avery without thinking didn't brake at low speed section. Kick using his ghost power to disappeared in low speed corner
"******! I guess I have no choice. My tires is fully wear out. Now I'll hit the guardrail!"
Avery suicidally hit guardrail. Because her rear tires is out of grip. She's understeer and...
"Oh!" She hit the wall and messed with her rear bumper and detach her rear wing
"I accidentally messed up with all the rear in my car. I really can't continue to second round." Avery panicked
After saw her gap with Kick is far widen. She was severely understeer
"The car is starting to swing away. Since that accident I make my car almost crush into pieces. I must catch up him or I'll be a failure for a year!" Avery still suicidally accelerate
Even the gap is sightly shorten. They were just entered 4th section into low speed corner. But, Avery rear tires blew up and she was spin out 360 degree and hit guardrail. But Kick saw her accident. He stopped his R34 and get out from his car and came to his cousin
"Avery! Are you okay!?" Kick rushed up into Avery R32
Avery didn't replied Kick. Depressed and almost crying
"Kick... I'm sorry... I was really want to battle with you because this is for Racing Team Mellowbrook Halfas Version sake. For all this time, I'm promised to never run away and promised to keep racing for Buttowski Family.. But finally I did run away. I betrayed our family and everyone. I'm nothing but piece of disappointment. For all this time I always running away and never come back from The Buttowski. But I also felt happy because you're the one who made me realize. My desire was to come back to The Buttowski. But finally you're the one who successfully pushed me to come back. Thank you Kick... Thank you for being such a good person to me." Avery apologize to Kick and thanking Kick
"You're welcome. Seems your car is damaged. Can I brought you to Hillclimb Start Checkpoint?" Kick asked
"No thanks. I'll come by myself." Avery replied and flying into Hillclimb Start Checkpoint. Leaving Kick
At Downhill Start Checkpoint. Kick goes back to Project KB
"Hi-five Kick!" Gunther yelled then Kick hi-five with Gunther
"Congratulations Buttowski. From right now. You're officially member of Project KB." Chad hired Kick officially
"Thank you very much." Kick looks sad
"But, why you're sad?" Chad confused
"Sorry. I was felt my cousin pain. So I couldn't be 100% happy right now." Kick replied
"But don't worry about it Buttowski. We are brothers and sisters for you Buttowski. You won't be alone." Chad spoke
"Thank you. Chad-san." Kick smiling to Chad
At Hillclimb Start Checkpoint. Avery newly arrived
"I'm Sorry everyone. I lost the battle." Avery apologize to Racing Team Mellowbrook Halfas Version
"That's ridiculous! How can you blew up the rear tire." Mellowbrook Halfas angry to Avery
"Sorry about that... I didn't realize about that and accidentally blew it up." Avery apologize
"There's no time to be cold hearted, senpai!" Annabelle stop Mellowbrook Senpai anger
"I'm just kidding." Mellowbrook Senpai replied
"Don't lose heart, Avery. The car will be repaired quickly... Even you lose tonight. But you did learn a valuable lesson, right? The most important thing is you can go to this far and bring Kanagawa's pride. Even all of us winning streak ended today but the most thing is. Don't forget today's experience. Your job for today is over. Don't forget about it. Even we're finished for today but we will be reborn for tomorrow. Avery." Annabelle cheer Avery up
"Annabelle.." Avery hug Annabelle and cried happily
At Downhill Start Checkpoint. Murasa yelled to Project KB
"Alright! We're go back to Gunma. Nazrin, you drive car No.2." Murasa yelled and force Nazrin to drive
"Alright! Let's go back!" Nazrin yelled with happiness
After this battle finished. Project KB go back to Gunma. The Second Line of Kanagawa, has been defeated by Project KB!
