New Horizon

"New Horizon" -「ニューホライズン」is the Final Episode of the Final Season of Sutorīto RPM: Memories (Without Counting Overdrive) and it functions as a wrap-up episode for all the events that led up to Episode 26.

Plot
The episode starts off right after Memories, and directly follows its events. Hanako has just won her race against Hei and is now resting in her seat, while attempting to realize what had just happened. She was taken aback by the sudden cheering of the Crowd surrounding her, whom later on starts to congratulate her on her victory. Hei, sitting in his damaged NSX looks out the window to see his racing director freaking out over the results of his battle, but his gaze quickly shifts towards the victor of the race, who quickly apologizes. The story begins to wrap up all of it's main characters, with Hanako and Hei finally getting over their past and beginning to date, Echo and her brother accepting the fact they'll part ways, Satoru finally achieving his life-long dream and Takagi having finally met a proper opponent.



Hanako learns to finally leave the world of racing behind to focus on her own career, while the rest of the cast remain attached to the sport in some-way or another. The first half of the episode mainly does its job of tying all the remaining storylines together, while the second half is set 5 years later, showing Hei and Hanako as a couple of newlyweds, Satoru becoming a professional driver, Takagi finishing his time at Medical School and starting to date the now-teacher Echo.

The series ends with a final shot of the now-abandoned Black NSX being powered on and driving off to the distance as "Rage your Dream" officially announces the end of the series, with the credits rolling soon after.
