For those who've never heard of Initial D. It started back in the 90s I think.
It has four seasons (Stages) with over 20 episodes each.
Stage 1 and 2 are the best ones where the story explains how Takumi become a top pro touge driver from a tofu delivery boy.
It's very addictive especially when the characters talks about driving techniques and car physics.
You don't know much about the JDM scene if you don't know Initial D.

The race goes onto epidsode 23 which is not out yet.

I think it's a fantastic animation, and I don't think this is just a cartoon and definately not chav. This cartoon is quite life like, and is supervised by keiichi tsyuchiya 'drift king' from best motoring himself.

good stuff

Don't forget they also made a live version, you know with proper living people and real cars. Sadly no S2000's in it, a very good film if you like drifting and abit of romance. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl etc. The picture quality on the dvd is spot on and crstyal clear, you need the subtitles on and you will need a multi region dvd player, as it's Asian region. Got our's from CD Wow costs 9.99....cheers Maria.

Interesting.... What's the title of the film?

Speaking of Keiichi Tsuchiya, I've actually met the Drift King myself.

Haha, that's cool mate. That guy is a legend.

As Man said, the next episode will show the result, but it's not out yet. I'm sure there's another episode with that S2K in it, cos if you watch the credits at the start, it pulls even with some dunger of a saloon.

EDIT: It was an R34 GTR.

Nick would love this episode as the driver of the S talks about rear wheel steering with limited steering inputs. Great stuff
