Lap 9 is over and the guys are back on the track. It's time for the first practice session. The guys are psyched to be back on track, and they're psyched to see the new guy from Kansai. The guy's super-fast, and he's using a tailslide to get past the guys in front of him on the first turn. It doesn't help, though, because it's not going to help his qualifying time. He's going to have to wait until the next practice session to try and catch up to the guy from the other side of the track, but he'll have to do it anyway. The new guy is awesome, and we're glad to see him out there.
