The main synopsis for the anime’s second cour is described as:
Hailing from the humble countryside, Oguri Cap has turned the racing world on its head. Her rampage through the national race scene seemed unstoppable… until it wasn’t. Tamamo Cross, the current peak of racing, has bested the Beast and declared Oguri Cap her rival.
But Oguri Cap can’t afford to keep her attention on Tamamo Cross alone. One by one, racers from all over the world arrive in Japan, ready to demonstrate their own prowess. Up against the best the world has to offer, our ashen racer will need to reach beyond her limits if she wants to stand a chance…
Keep those eyes peeled — a Cinderella story full of twists and turns lies ahead!
