I think he just wants Takumi to not focus on the other guys driving and just drive the way he does normally. Takumi mentioned the guy is using incorrect lines.

See, Keisuke's victory was explained after all.

That's what I got from it as well.

Quite interesting episode, this sure is going to be a tough one! I wonder who'll win it though as it doesn't look too good for Takumi! Let's see what happens in the next episode.

Because that line is fake. It's just a ruse to throw off the follower... to try to get them to copy it...

That's my guess anyway.

Takumi is facing someone that is the "best" once again, but then again, at least this time, the guy's experience makes all the difference to this statement, I mean, even pros are humans, so it's not like they are leagues above every single person out there, but it's still annoying the way they try to build suspense by saying it's "the strongest opponent yet" every single time just to make Takumi win again by the end, let's see if by some miracle he loses this time, but I doubt it.

So, Takumi's race begins, it seems. What Ryosuke told Takumi is really unsettling, Takumi seems to be anxious over it. Sure enough, this opponent is tough.

Agreed, this race is gonna be interesting for sure, but I doubt Takumi will lose. More likely he will miraculously win by treating his opponent as "ghost" and just concentrating on his own driving.

Takumi's constant self doubt is kind of annoying but that's just who he is. I do wonder how this old guy is running the "wrong" line so well though.

I wonder if the opponent's 'incorrect' lines are meant to throw Tak off? Anyways this is a great race haha

God of hand really is an interesting racer, I wonder how will Takumi beat him and will he discover any hidden weakness of his opponent that Ryosuke failed to find

I'm just more concerned they would die in a heat stroke like they're sweating like a lake even Takumi is sweating now, Would like to see some jaw dropping action if there is.

The three of them in the restaurant full of couples and they are sad xD.

The race has already started intensely, the S2000 won't let go of the AE86, I'll see the next one.
