Initial D Battle Stage 2 Part 9

[TheLaXandro]

The door open button is on rearview mirror, like on TVR Sagaris and Koenigsegg.

[ProjectD100]

The FD has no door handle LOL

[nitroboyn2o]

@ 2:59 one of your lights is out bro

[FooLisHBok]

DORRRIYAA

[N6600]

I don't like the GTR's color here. Looks like a green loogie.. :/

[wajalama]

One of the most intense touge races I've seen in Initial D..

[JPTorres2694]

2:49 it's funny how he can raise the revs without stepping on the clutch

[VictoriusMAX]

@JPTorres2694 haha I never noticed that before...perhaps they got lazy and just didn't draw the foot in

[JPTorres2694]

@VictoriusMAX or it could be because drawing the left foot in would block the hell-toe motion on the right

[jhaqastar]

@JPTorres2694

After some research, I figured out can shift gears without the clutch. Either it be upshift or downshift. Although doing it with the would be faster. My hunch was he was saving the clutch from overheating for the downhill part. He might have done it to limit himself to loose the 7 seconds. :)

[JPTorres2694]

@jhaqastar But wouldn't it result in engine lock, rev matching is done with the clutch so that the car won't lock up when the gears kick in. Shifting down without the clutch, and proper rev-matching would damage the gearbox.

[jhaqastar]

@JPTorres2694

Gears can go in if the tire speed matches the engine speed and tranny speed. Sooooo.. Let's say 4th to 3rd: 4th, Yank it out to neutral, Rev match to match everything, push into 3rd. So the engine won't lock. Actually it would be smoother since if you're not perfectly synced, it won't go in.

Like when clutchless upshifting when you yank it out of gear, wait for the rpms to drop then shove it in the next gear.

[JPTorres2694]

@jhaqastar That's quite a long process, shifting from 4-N-3. I can't really imagine going to a corner like that, unless I'm braking early XD

[kolamper]

RE AMEMIYA!

[werdof]

BEEEEST RACE EVER MADE IN THE ANIME WORLD AND THE REAL WORLD HAHA

[Smellzlikelithium]

i noticed on keisukes headlights the left one both are lit and the right one only one is lit.

[jhaqastar]

@Smellzlikelithium

I think that's for the intake

[eurojoru]

DORYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

[yagam1]

wow . after watching initial d hundred times , i juz realise that there is a headlight intake on keisuke's driver side headlight . juz wow .

[TheFlowMeister]

That new yellow rx7, with the new intake and overfenders spoiler etc has to be my 2nd favrouite car besides the AE86. :)

[someguyZERO]

This was the best race of all versus Purple Shadow.

[alex801848]

Damn that guy in the GTR is annoying. Keeps yelling like a madman... = =

[christheawesome2423]

@alex801848 Although it's annoying, I agree, yelling actually helps him. I forgot why, but if he doesn't yell, he drives like a car w/ nitro...but not braking.

[mico092495]

@alex801848 based on the anime he yells bcoz if he dont yell he will surely concentrate which is not good for him :D

[Zhu8]

@mico092495 It means if he Concentrates too much, We will Drive without Braking, and thats not good.

[FearCarlos]

@Zhu8 1st song: Switch! by Melissa White & Ace.

2nd song:Let It Burn by Go 2.

sorry,I removed the comment by accident:p

[FearCarlos]

@FearCarlos theses are the songs u asked in part 4.

[Zhu8]

@FearCarlos Thanks.

[patthebrit3]

@FearCarlos The first song is actually Power

[patthebrit3]

@FearCarlos LOL you weren't talking about this race were you? -_-*

[ernest4399123]

The GTR is actually a GT-R V-spec nur

[ofnir123]

starting at 6:49 is THE most memorable moment of all the series!

[KillerB20ZVtec]

Hey, does KT's fd have a velocity stack on the driver side headlight? thats down! if i ever get a fd rx-7 i want it to be just like this! with the RE amemiya hood and headlights

[jhaqastar]

Anybody noticing that the FD isn't using the clutch on the uphill :P

[Pearce244]

the 7 sec lead mean, that at turning point u have to be 7 sec later than him. if he would try to keep at R34 speed, he will overheat tires and wont be able to overtake him at downhill. Than if there will be 2nd round R34 will overtake him too soon and he wont be able to keep with him at all. If he will be too slow he wont probably be able to catch up at downhill and lose and if yes then tires will be overheted for 2nd round

[franciskith0o]

What's the song at 6:44?

[777sevenhead]

Back on the rocks

[DrYiCe34]

@franciskith0o

[MetamorphomisK]

[MIGKTYPS]

¡Que pasada la del Skyline!

[yagam1]
