The situation had stabilized for now.
Listening to the commentary on the Public Channel, Shen Qi learned that more close battles were taking place in the second pack.
Mountains came into view ahead. They were approaching Mt. Moon Tunnel.
Once they entered the tunnel, most drivers would race more conservatively, giving [Global Eye] plenty of room to shine.
Try to extend our lead in the tunnel and overtake the cars ahead. By the second lap, the advantage of reading the track in advance will shrink considerably.
They entered the tunnel.
"Lilligant, sharp turn ahead, but the road is very wide beyond the apex. The exit is a little over five meters across, so you can give it some more speed."
Lilligant accelerated, only to have Cacturne block her line.
They failed to overtake on this turn.
That was normal. Overtaking in a T2 Race was no easy feat, especially on a section like this tunnel.
Still, the track was so long that opportunities were bound to arise.
An overtaking attempt... intercepted by Cacturne.
Another overtaking attempt... blocked.
By the time they finished the entire Mt. Moon Tunnel section, Shen Qi had pointed out at least seven or eight overtaking opportunities, all of which Cacturne had defended.

But if the car ahead predicted the following car's line and claimed that route first, it did not count as deliberate blocking.
During the Spring Race, Shūji's Moon Shard had also held Little Sheep back for a
