In the "INDIVIDUAL MATCH," two drivers, including Ayumu Takita, who was the runner-up in the previous round 01, did not enter this round, while one new driver entered.
With Takita's absence, Yamanaka, the previous winner, will enter the race with a 9-pt lead overTakuma Miyazono, who is currently in 3rd place in the point ranking.
A top-3 finish will allow him to move on to Round 3 with his ranking lead intact, so he will probably have a big mental edge.
