Okay. We’re rank 150 now. We've come a long way.
Despite losing against the dickhead Daisuke, our Celica still feels really competitive and wins every race, so we may as well keep it going through Group C.
Ready to participate in the race?
Yes - I'll skip all the chatting with the high Secretariat and the race organiser. Let's get right into it.
As in the previous races, for Group C we have around 8 or so races and work our way through the grid.
Our opponents are mostly some old favourites, but there's new cars we haven't been up against before, like the GTO and the NSX
They get a 11.20 and a 10.9 respectively, but we're running 10.6s on a good day, so we dispatch them with ease.
Quite a few other races were had, perhaps the closest being a black MR2 that only lost by a tenth of a second
It does feel like they're closing in a bit - we may start to have some trouble in Group B, but for now, none of these guys are much of a threat for Mouthbreather.
And with all those victories in place, we go into the Group C final…
And who's waiting for us?
:
Your opponent in the finals is… me.
Yep. You guessed it. The guy who puts the a in asshole, Daisuke Fujiwara...
:
You're Fujiwara Daisuke!
:
This time I'm gonna beat you!
Spoiler alert - we won’t. You guys have seen this all before.
10.26 vs 10.6
:
I lost…
Seriously, this is the fourth time you’ve done this to us, game. Fifth, if you count their intro race.
:
Why don't you just stop doing zero-yon?
When we finally mop the floor with this asshole, it's going to feel so satisfying!
:
What's wrong, General?
:
Looks like we lost again today
Gah, this guy again. The guy who’s the actual Zero4 Champ...
Mate, we don't need another asshole antagonist thanks. We already have Fujiwara.
:
Hurry up and beat me!
:
Or do you not know how to change gears?
:
You better stop messing around.
:
Hari won't be defeated!
I don't know who Hari is, but I like his spirit.
:
Oh, that's scary, that's scary. Even if I'm terrible at zero-fours.
:
He's all talk.
:
Google it…
Sorry Taro, Google isn't going to be around for a few more years….
… Interesting that the translator did that. Google isn't a word. It seems to be the characters ‘gu gu gu’
What this translates to, I don’t know.
:
Well, if you want me to teach you to change gears, bring me about 1 million yen.
:
I'll explain it in a way that even a monkey can understand
:
Hahahahahahaha
:
Damn it, just wait and see.
Huh. This makes it seem like there is some special gear shifting technique we need to figure out…
I wonder what it is, and if it’s something you can unlock or you could use it now. The key to winning all those wet and ice races in Zero4Champ 2 was using gears more effectively after all.
Daisuke was begging this guy to teach him the technique during his intro. Maybe he did, and that’s why we can’t beat him… He's clearly not short of money.
I'd be up for actually paying this guy the million yen to see what it is, though Taro doesn't seem to want to have any bar of it.
I'm not even sure how I would even go about doing that…he only shows up occasionally between these races.
