Fortunately, JBC Sprint is after summer, which means you should be able to stat diff your opponents. If you are planning to
win this race, e.g. for the +30 stat epithet for doing it twice, you may want to prioritize a bit of extra speed training, or
take Front Straights/Corners. Don't be too surprised if you lose a clock or five to a Taiki Shuttle rival.

Since the 1 Jul update, the JBC races take place at a randomly selected one of the NAR courses (Ooi, Kawasaki, Funabashi,
Morioka) each year. If you're hunting for a completionist title on a front runner, you have the option of just not picking an

A stat line like x/400/x/500/600 should be enough for a guts/wit build to win Kikuka Sho against most rivals, possibly at the
expense of a clock or two. TSS seems to need something more like x/700/x/700/700 if you don't have any recoveries; I haven't
tested much without them, because I don't like throwing away my runs.

This CM is interesting as the first opportunity to use multiple runaways and not have them be vaporized by spot struggle.

early race accelerating, so they lose the majority of their strongest race phase. Normal front runners can hardly compete with

which needs 1200 power and wit but no other stats matter, or I could experiment with something wacky like NSM into duels.
The latter sounds more fun, even if it is obviously bad. First attempt didn't get aptitudes but did get Lone Wolf to disable
it for everyone else and surprisingly decent stats, which is good enough for me; her job isn't to win anyway.
