Preliminaries[]

Round 1 Preliminaries[]

Consists of a sprinting course that races through the city.

Rules: Representatives from each team who make it to the finish line in less than 5 minutes and 30 seconds advance to the next round. The whole team would be disqualified if the representative failed to reach the finishing line within the time limit.

Rundown: The Trident representative takes the lead trying to put some distance between him and the Monster rep. The Monster rep finally builds up enough speed and is racing for the lead. The manga rep is agitated by the Ghost rep and tries to swerve and bump into the him but misses and causes an accident 3 minutes and 19 seconds in instead. He was able to recover but feels guilty for hurting so many people. Dom not seeing the accident does not break in time and crashes. With 1 minute and 45 seconds remaining in the race, Dom gets up and rejoins the race. He is able to qualify his crew for the next preliminary in the nick of time.

* There was a crash in zone B 00:03:19.00 into the race. Dom crashed into them soon after. We see him finally getting his bearings straight before asking how much time is left. Dom leaves before the staff finishes his answer, "1 minute and 45 seconds remaining". Meaning Dom was down for about 26 seconds

Round 2 Preliminaries[]

Consists of a corner race on a mountain road.

Rules: Round 1 and 2 are linked with a total of 10 minutes. For instance if the team leader of round 1 finished in 4 minutes and 7seconds the team leader of round 2 continues riding at the start time of 4 minutes and 7seconds. Basically the remaining time after subtracting the time from round 1 becomes the time limit for the team leader in round 2. The time limit for each team is measured with a bracelet. After the team goes over the limit the bracelet would make a beep sound and that team would be disqualified.

Rundown: Representatives of Manga and Tarantula crew take the lead while Jay hangs back to save energy during the turns. With 2 minutes and 37.58 seconds remaining, Jay launches his attack and overtakes 3 riders in an instant by speeding up and drifting through the turns. First three to enter zone B are the two leaders from Manga and Tarantula crew as well as the rep who insulted Jay's bike, Victory crew. Jay quickly over takes the leaders and the victory crew rep follows. They both speed down the hill and Jay executes his inertia drift trick to turn the sharp corner but Victory crew can't make the turn and crashes. Jay clears the final course in just 2 minutes and 19 seconds. The Manga and Tarantula crew reps can't close the gap and Jay finishes the race with a record time of 3 minutes and 20.72 seconds.

Of his group, only Jay(no.55), no.10 of the Tarantula crew, and no.65 of the Manga crew passed.

Jay is momentary distracted by the mention of studying when the Fruit crew tries to attack him. Luckily TJ intercepts due to an obligation to Vinny.

The crew must team up in this race. The first three to cross the finish line wins the race

Hummingbird Crew x Manga Crew vs. Zephyrus Crew x Zeroback Crew

Rundown: Zephyrus x Zeroback planned to leave behind the Manga crew and attack the Humming Bird crew like a moth to a flame. TJ planned to race to the front while the others of the Zeroback crew purposely crash into Humming Bird crew. Luckily, Manga crew was there as defence and blocked the attack. Vinny and Jay take the lead again while Minu defends them against TJ. TJ makes a comment about how Minu is riding off the backs of his team mates while he and his friends got to this point by their merit. TJ's words seem to shake Minu and TJ makes his way back to the front. Mean while in the lead, Vinny notices Jay being more cautious with his riding and does not risk doing any drifts. TJ races to the front then suddenly turns around with the intent of taking down one of them. He fails to do so when Minu takes him down. The showdown for the last spot comes down to Dax and the last member of the Zeroback crew. Dax almost gives up but with the support of his friends, he makes one last effort to sprint for the finish line in the superman position, cementing Hummingbird and Manga crew's place in round 6.

Round 6 (Street Rush)[]

Round 7 (Ruleless Race)[]

5 member from each team will compete in an 18 km course. First to reach the finish line, without deviating from the course wins. By "ruleless race", they mean anything goes, even pushing another rider off their bikes, kicking you opponents, and sticking objects in an opponent's wheels (ie. what a scorpion member did to Dom).

Rundown: Minu comes up with Strategy Windbreaker. Dom and Vinny distract the opponents in the first leg of the race so Jay does not get tagged too early. Meanwhile, Minu, Shelly, and Jay keep pace in the back with Minu acting as windbreaker to minimize Jay's energy loss. When they were under a bridge and in the drone's blind spot, a Scorpion member stuck a metal pipe in Dom's "Brad T1" bike, causing him to crash head first. 3 km left and trying to regain their lead back, Vinny sprints to the front again, only to be intercepted by Changbae. The Scorpion leader put his feet on Vinny's front wheels forcing him to slow down. In the last kilometre of the race, Minu over paces to get their opponents to over pace too.

Rundown: Humming Bird crew was almost disqualified for being late but the Zephyrus crew, thinking they disbanded, checked in to the competition for them with intentions of taking their place in the competition. Fans of Punk Prince distracted the Humming Birds causing Dom to loose his place as pace maker as Chan takes the lead. Punk Prince's strategy is similar to Tarantula. Their team work and synchronisation is impressive and they were able to create a "web" to block the Humming Birds. Shelly was able to break through their formation from the outside giving June and Dom the opportunity to sprint to the front. Despite making it to the alleyway first, Dom's weakness is definitely sharp corners and Dom lost the lead again to Chan. Once in the alleyway, Jay starts his hunt and quickly makes his way to the front. Seeing Jay catch up, the glasses wearing member purposely bumps into Shelly to distract him but Jay manages to stabilize her and catches up again. Meanwhile in the front Chan, distracted by a hate sign that read "Chan you bastard go die," falls over a pipe and purposely takes Dom down with him.

Instead he powers forward into an sprint thinking that he make it a physical contest from the beginning but they don't follow him. Cornering proves to be Dom's downfall once again as he is over taken by the Manga crew who started their attack after entering the alleyways. Shelly catches up to them but the girl on Manga crew, Ruby(?), bumps into her blocking her from getting ahead. Ruby falls as Dom and Shelly go forward but neither of them can catch up. Dom used up his strength at the start and Shelly was delay from launching her attack by Ruby.

Part B of Manga crew takes the lead while Jay, June and Vinny wait for their team to catch up. the Manga crew holds a 175 yrd lead by the time the Humming Birds start the second leg. June acts as the windbreaker for Jay and Vinny. When entering the alleyway, they decide to drift their way through the corners to catch up to the Manga crew. As they are approaching the last corner, Jay and Vinny launch their attack and overtake the Manga crew with half a mile left on a straight course till the finish line. In a last ditch effort to get the lead, Manga crew launches "Deadly Manda Pistol" to propel Dax to the lead. 300 yards left and Dax get into the ultimate aero posture and pulls his signature "Superman" to maximise speed downhill but Jay catches up and blocks him, allowing Vinny to take the win.

Rundown: Jay starts the race strong but Owen "reads the wind" and is able to "change the flow" and take the lead easily. Jay changes he position and overtakes Owen again. The gap widens as Jay speeds through the curves with half a mile remaining. Owen notices the strain on his bike, the gear ratio was too low and the chain is unstable, but he persists with only 2000 feet remaining. He zigzags catching different currents to speed up eventually catching up to Jay. They speed up at the L turn but as Jay executes his inertia drift, Owen uses the curb to smoothly follow the curve and take the lead. 900 feet remaining and Jay surprise the audience by speeding up once more. The turn creates a fracture in Owen's bike frame but he continues to race down the track. 400ft remaining and Owen's bike fractures even further.

Jay eventually falls when he gets distracted by a Shelly like figure in the crowd and Noah and the Iron Star team mate crashes with him. Vinny and Kyuuchan fight for the lead while Monster keeps team Sabbath in check. Hwangyeon slips by them riding into third position. Noah's identity is revealed when she takes her helmet off to question Jay. Jay picks up his bike and continues riding. He surprises everyone when he gets back to the lead.
