Overtake! Episode 1 introduces viewers to the world of Japanese Formula 4 (F4), an open-wheeled class of motorsports.
Overtake! Episode 8 Review
Overtake! Episode 8 began with a big twist. In this review, I discuss whether Satsuki or Haruka is more like James Hunt.

Overtake! Episode 3 is the first episode of the series in which a race is the main focus. And in it, Haruka earns a new PB.
