Sugimoto stepped out of the changing room and they both made their way to the pits to meet with the manager and Ghazali. As they walked through the pitlane, they noticed Ghazali and the manager chatting outside their pit garage. Alice waved from afar and they replied to her wave as they approached them.

"We're here manager!" Alice said with enthusiasm

"Thanks for coming today drivers. I'm sorry you had to come here on your day off." The manager said apologetically.

"No problem chief. We don't have anything better to do anyways." Sugimoto said with assurances.

"So why did you call us over?" Sugimoto asked.

The manager fixes his glasses and has a small grin on his face.

"Shall we go in and see for ourselves?" The manager said to them.

Alice and Sugimoto looked at each other and shrugged. Ghazali went in front of the pit garage and began lifting the door. As the garage fully opened, they unveiled their cars in a different livery.

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS remains in its original black color. But with a noticeable orange trim running on the side that goes from the front to the rear. The name of the race team, "Akinabalu Motorsports" is plastered on the doors with the number 431. The sponsor's logo, "Aqua Infinite" was displayed on the hood, rear side window, and the side of the wing. Aqua Infinity's catchphrase "Refreshed" was written on the wing.

The BMW M6 GT3 on the other hand was changed from its original blue color to orange with black trim from the front to the rear. The name of the race team, "Akinabalu Motorsports" is plastered on the doors with the number 430. The sponsor's logo was displayed on the hood, rear side window, and the side of the wing. Aqua Infinity's catchphrase "Simply" was written on the wing.

Alice's eyes sparkled when she saw her newly colored M6 while Sugimoto crossed his arms and smiled lightly. They went up to their respective cars to inspect the newly added changes.

"So what do you guys think of it?" The manager asked them.

"It's incredible! My car looks so cool!" Alice said as she glazed her car.

"I like the new color schemes but why orange? Aren't we usually the black?" Sugimoto asked.

"It's true that we traditionally used black as our choice of color, but I decided to use a different color since we are entering a new era of Akinabalu Motorsports. I hope you don't mind." The manager explained.

Sugimoto looked at Alice who was still admiring her car. He huffed a bit and smiled.

"I don't mind it. It's actually looked pretty nice." Sugimoto said.

Alice went inside her car and noticed a few things had changed. A new seat and a few tweaks were made inside her car, but almost everything else remains the same. Ghazali went up to Alice to check up on her.

"Is everything alright in there?" Ghazali asked Alice.

"Yup, everything is fine. I'll just adjust a few things." Alice said.

Alice began adjusting everything in the car to her liking. Ghazali stood there trying to hold his laughter as he watched her adjust everything in the BMW.

"A-A few things huh?" Ghazali said as he covered his mouth.

After inspecting Alice, Ghazali went to Sugimoto and noticed him still checking out the car's exterior. Sugimoto placed his hand over the car's roof, seemingly a bit down.

"Yo Sugi, you okay?" Ghazali asked concernly.

Sugimoto turned around and noticed Ghazali standing behind him.
