The second race, held in Peru, is divided into two heats. During the race, Hayato is humming a song to Rita for her birthday. Buttholz, who has been targeting Asurada for some time, seizes that momentary gap and interferes, causing Hayato and Asurada to fall off a cliff. Hayato gets out of the car to restore the cyber system, but he slips and falls further down, temporarily losing his sight.
