Ah! Will the Auto Club Win? (Japanese: 「ああっ自動車部は勝てますかっ？」 - Aa! Jidoushabu wa Katemasuka?) is episode number 10 of season 1 of the Oh My Goddess! TV series originally aired 2005-03-10.

Toshiyuki Aoshima declares that he is determined to acquire Belldandy by any means necissary (while sitting with 5 girls near a water fountain). A few days later, it's time for the annual club drive and no one has even considered joining the Auto Club. Keiichi asked Megumi why she didn't join up and she told him she'd already joined another club. There are rumors going around that there's another "better" Auto Club that has (according to Megumi) a lot of skanky-looking girls around it. It's better than the "girls" at the Auto Club's booth because the "girls" are Otaki and Tamiya dressed in drag. The group bead over to the other club, dubbed the "Four-Wheels Club," and it's revealed that Toshiyuki created the club to drive the Auto Club into the ground. Toshiyuki challenges Keiichi to an off-road race to see which club will remain at the school and Belldandy accepts the challenge (much to Toshiyuki's dismay). Afterwards, the Auto Club are busy at work to complete a vehicle for the upcoming race...but the next night Toshiyuki and 2 big dudes wreck it. The next day, the car is wrecked and Belldandy uses her powers to identify the perp and then (speak of the devil) Toshiyuki shows up and suggests that he will cancel the race if Keiichi gives up (in order to embarass him while disgusting Belldandy). Keiichi declines his offer and a pissed Belldandy forces Toshiyuki away with an angry sentence. Urd tells Keiichi that Belldandy's true fury is not one to be messed with. That night the Auto Club barely manages to piece together the 3-Wheeler in time for the race. The Four-Wheel Club's car (driven by professional American drivers) takes off first while Keiichi waits for Belldandy. Right before the race starts while Belldandy is changing, Toshiyuki locks her in in the room, knowing that the race rules require two drivers on any off-road race. Right before the Auto Club is disqualified, Belldandy warps from the rear-view mirror (Saiyoko says she's "some kind of world-class escape artist"). The Four-Wheel Club's car is far ahead, but the Auto Club is catching up fast. Belldandy notices that the car is falling apart while they drive, so she repairs the parts with magic, but she ultimately falls asleep to her "dormant" stage when she runs out of power. Just when Keiichi notices that Belldandy has passed out, a hitman hired by guess who slams the car into a sand dune. Urd appears and suggests Keiichi will have to give up, but Keiichi objects and at that time Sora Hasegawa informs Keiichi of a makeshift road, the tip of a sand barrier, that only the 3-Wheeler can drive on. Keiichi drives over the thin path at full speed while the other team gets stuck in sand. Keiichi completes the race and Belldandy wakes up later in somewhat panic, but is relieved to hear that Keiichi won. Urd then proceeds to punish Saiyoko and Toshiyuki again.
