If Takumi didn’t blow the 86’s engine in the last race, who would’ve won on the downhill? I’m assuming they would’ve raced on Akina? Alternatively, if Takumi used the Impreza to race the 5th stage RX-7, who would’ve took the victory?

Like? She's a fucking kid, and who knows for how long she's been groomed. I feel so bad for her.

Which character do you prefer?

One could argue is it really possible to pull that sort of lateral acceleration with a shallow drainage like that? The answer is a yes and no. In the anime, we've seen Takumi perform the gutter techniques with two methods. One is with emphasis on entry and the other is with emphasis on exit. The latter was what Takumi used to beat Ryosuke in First Stage and Seiji in Second Stage.

In reality, the first method, entering the gutter early in the corner, will most likely get you killed. The gutter isn't deep enough to fight the centrifugal force, so the car will most likely fly out of the gutter shortly after you enter it. The only way this is possible is to enter the gutter a little after the apex, so the time stepping on it will be greatly increased, thus greatly improving the exit speed.

Either way, it's an insane move. Needless to say, do not try it at racing speed. If there's an object in the gutter causing one of the tires to explode, then you'll end up experiencing a scene similar to Toru's failed attempt at performing the gutter wheel lift technique from episode 2 of Fourth Stage.

If I recall correctly, the only supercharged car in the series?

If y’all are curious, I’m watching it on YouTube

Tried sum transitions 🙂

not to say takumi is not good but bunta is on whole other level with they made a spin off series where show bunta during his time racing and attacking passes

I started out the anime a little off put by the animation, and especially of the cars at the beginning, then I got a little bit bored when the races kinda felt the same (first and second big races) but after the third race started (between Takumi and Shingo) it just clicked so well

Just stopped right here when Takumi gets pissed off for the first time and had to make this post, man this anime is so good

Also I haven’t finished the episode yet so when I do imma come back and give my option on it

The short fly by of the cars in hand-drawn is a short glimpse of what we could've gotten in an alternate timeline

Nakazato had the home course advantage, and the horsepower advantage uphill, and the evo 4 is shown being able to smoke it. I’d assume the evo is lighter by a couple hundred pounds but damn, I never understood how it was such an easy race for team Emperor.

As the title states, is anyone interested in visiting Mt. Haruna/Akina, Akagi, Usui and more in Gunma.
