The story
Haruka Asahina is a 16 year old high school boy racing F4 cars while staying at Komaki Motors, an auto-body shop in Shizuoka prefecture. Komaki Motors is a family-run shop that regularly competes in F4 with the team comprised of: owner Futoshi Komaki who is also a mechanic, his son Kotarou Komaki, and now Haruka Asahina. Because this is a family-run business, they receive no support usually from any major manufacturers. Haruka Asahina boldly confronts the top teams head-on to get the attention of these revered companies in hopes of making it to the podium himself.

Great visuals that don't make the anime good, how good art can make the anime bearable.
Not Initial D or MF Ghost, but what a racing anime should be. Aka, my favorite seasonal of Fall 2023.
Overtake: An Authentic Story of Overcoming
To summarize:It's not just a racing anime, its an anime about overcoming and overtaking your past.Thanks for reading o7
