Alice charges the race with a 6-second lead. She looked into her mirror to see Sugimoto's car in the distance.

"Looks like that fool is far behind, there's no chance he can catch up with me now!" She said in a confident tone.

Alice takes the first turn and enters the hairpins in sector 2 of the race while Sugimoto begins chasing behind her. As she approached the third sector, Alice batted her eye to the mirror and saw him emerge from the hairpins.

"He's finally out of the hairpins huh? Guess I need to push harder now!" Alice muttered to herself

Alice steps on the floor and the engine of her M6 roars across the circuit. Alice brakes into the chicane and manages to clear it perfectly. A few seconds later, the Porsche followed suit and unto the first straight in sector 3.

Alice looked into her mirror and saw the 911 catching up to her at high speed on the straights.

"Damn, he's really gaining on me!" Alice muttered to herself feeling a bit paranoid that he was already gaining on her.

Alice could see Sugimoto closing the gap inch by inch until the chicane to the second straight. Sugimoto finally caught up with Alice and is currently using the M6's slipstream but didn't go for an overtake. The M6 brakes into the next corner while the 911 late brakes and enters the corner. They entered sector 4 with many turns and corners that would be great for Alice's car.

"I need to lose the Porsche here or I'm done for." Alice muttered to herself.

The cars utilized most of the apex on the S curves as they got through sector 4. They entered the C curve and approached the chicane. Alice checks her mirror and notices that Sugimoto and the Porsche disappeared.

"W-what, where did it go?" She uttered in confusion.

Suddenly out of nowhere, the Porsche appeared beside her and began squeezing itself between her car. The Porsche took her inside line as half its wheels were on the grass.

"W-what the hell?" Alice muttered in shock seeing his car suddenly making such a move.

Alice backed off her line and gave him the lead as they exited the chicane. They entered Sector 1 and began to charge toward the finish line. Sugimoto grins to himself seeing her car now behind his mirror. The cars crossed the finish line and onto lap 2.

"Now it's time to widen the gap." Sugimoto muttered to himself and began smirking slightly.

Alice while still in a state of shock isn't ready to give up yet. She got herself together and began tailgating the Porsche from behind as they entered the 3 consecutive hairpins.

"Don't celebrate too early Senpai, things are just getting started!" She muttered to herself and became determined to pass him.

The cars began driving close to each other as they exited the hairpins onto the chicane. As Sugimoto checked his mirror thinking he had widened the gap, he was shocked to see the M6 was still right behind him.

"Woah she is actually keeping up with me, but I ain't letting you pass me anytime soon, kid." He utters to himself determined not to let her pass.

As both drivers became determined, they entered the third sector unto a straight and the M6 and 911 were glued together trying to get over each other. As they're about to exit the hairpins and onto the chicane, Alice tries her luck and tries to overtake him at the chicane but is quickly blocked by Sugimoto.

"Senpai is quite good at defending his position, maybe I did underestimate him." She muttered to herself and recognized his talents.

As the BMW tailgates the Porsche on the second straight of sector 3, Alice starts planning her strategy to try and overtake Sugimoto before the corner.

"Alright, let's do this!" Alice yells to herself.

The M6 takes on Sugimoto as they go neck to neck. Alice tries to make another move to overtake Sugimoto by hard braking into the corner. Sugimoto glanced at his side and saw her car trying to pass him on the outside. Still, Sugimoto kept his line until they reached the corner, and then Sugimoto brakes early causing Alice to miscalculate and mess up her lines. Sugimoto went for a switch-back and managed to retake his position.

"Damn it, he got me!" She told herself frustratedly

As they entered sector 4, Alice's blue M6 followed the black 911 close behind as they utilized the apex to its fullest. Sugimoto checks his mirror and sees that she's still following him closely.

"Heh, you are quite the fighter huh? I guess I underestimated you a bit. You aren't that bad after all." Sugimoto muttered to himself admiring her fighting spirit.

As both cars exit onto the corner and into the final sector, Alice begins setting up her attack and tries to overtake him on the twisties sector of the circuit.

"Time to show you what I got!" She began closing into him and making a move on the outside.

"You're going to take me on here huh? Let's see if you got what it takes." Sugimoto spoke to himself as he got ready to defend.

Alice tried her hardest to pass him as both cars were side by side but she had to give in as he had the racing line and backed off. The 911 is in the lead and the M6 follows close behind. The cars exit the final chicane and both race towards the finish line and now they're in the final lap, not only does this lap determine who will win the race, but more importantly, who will win the bet.

"Final lap, I have to give it my all so I can teach that lazy Senpai of mine not to underestimate me!" She utters to herself so she can prove her point.

"Final lap and she managed to hold on this far huh? I gotta win this so I can see her mop the floor." He chuckled to himself as he wanted to show her his true potential as her senpai.

"I must win this race!" Both racers shouted as they both began feeling determined to win the race.

As they approached the hairpins, the BMW exited the draft and got beside the Porsche on its inside.

"What the hell?" He uttered to himself in shock.

Alice grips the curb as they rotate around the hairpin as if she hooks her tires on the curb. After that, she got back on the racing line causing Sugimoto to give up his lead.

"Holy crap that worked!" She smiled heavily as she took the lead back from him.

"Woah, you surprised me there kid, but that doesn't mean you've won." Sugimoto said to himself feeling fired up.

The Porsche and the BMW exit the hairpins and onto the chicane where Sugimoto tries to overtake her, Alice manages to defend against his attack. Now on the straights, the Porsche began chasing her down trying to overtake her. But to his surprise, the BMW was faster than he anticipated and failed to overtake her on the first straight of sector 3.

"Dang she's defending it quite well, sadly that's going to change now!" He utters to himself as he gets ready to execute his plans.

On the second straight, Sugimoto got out of Alice's draft on the straight and went on her inside and overtook her. Alice's eyes widen completely seeing the 911 slowly widening the gap on the straights.

"Sorry kid but you'll be mopping the floors from now on." He grins to himself as he says that.

Alice is in complete shock because they are approaching the last sector of the circuit and it would be difficult for her to overtake him there.

"N-no... this can't be happening..." She muttered to herself in disbelief.

Alice instead of being in tears, grips her wheel harder and becomes more determined to overtake Sugimoto in the final 2 sectors of the race.

"This is not the way I want to lose, please hold on M6!" She told her car.

Alice pushed her limits and swiftly caught up to the Porsche. The M6 began tailgating the 911 as closely as possible as they entered the corner into the final sector. She began hoping he would make a mistake somewhere in the last sector.

"How the hell am I going to pass Senpai if he defends so well, please let there be space. Or maybe I can make space!" Alice thought to herself.

Alice started planning her final strategy to overtake Sugimoto on the C-curve. As they get closer, the M6 makes a move to the outside.

"Trying to take me on the outside huh? not going happen!" Sugimoto muttered to himself.

As Sugimoto closed into the middle of the track closing any hopes of an overtake from the outside, Alice saw the opportunity and went for it.

"There's my opportunity! TIME TO STRIKE... NOW!" She screamed out.

Alice swerved her car into the inside and attempted to overtake the Porsche. Alice began driving side by side with Sugimoto as they approached the chicane. Both are now neck and neck as they approach the chicane and Alice has the exit causing Sugimoto to back down from the ideal line. The M6 had the inside on the final turn and the M6 took the lead and is now ahead of the race.

"I-I did it?" Alice muttered to herself feeling as if she had won the race.

"I'm not going down that easily kid!" Sugimoto uttered loudly.

Due to Alice's line, she exits the chicane a bit slower. Alice saw victory in the distance but felt the pressure from the Porsche tailgating her. As they approached the finish line, the Porsche exited her slipstream and slowly crept beside the BMW. The manager and a few of the crew ran outside to spectate what would be a close victory. Both cars went side by side as they approached the finish line.

"This is going to be a close finish!" The manager yelled.

Both cars roared through the straights and crossed the finish line together. The drivers were unsure who won the race and asked the manager, but the manager couldn't determine it yet. They went to pit their cars and waited anxiously for the result. The manager began watching the replay footage and it was a certain result. The result was...
