"3,2,1 GO!!!" shouted Kenta as the GTR of Nakazato rocketed onto the straight of Akagi pass. A large crowd has already gathered to watch the try out. The Nightkids were also present cheering their leader on, all except for Shingo. The black GTR quickly approached the first corner, a split second later the brakes of the car was slammed as Nakazato neatly brought the car into the turn without any loss of time. Ryosuke and Keisuke were both waiting at the finish line eagerly anticipating the results. Takumi had called earlier saying that he can't make it due to a party invitation by Itsuki as it was his birthday therefore the remaining members of redsuns and Nightkids were asked to help out in the try outs.
Nakazato was now halfway through the pass and was looking great. His time was actually 0.3 seconds better than Keisuke, this sent a stir of interest into the air as no one was thought to be faster than the Takahashis on Akagi. Keisuke suddenly looked worried and began to question his own ability when Ryosuke explained "Nakazato is one of the best drivers in the area, his skills in driving a highly powered car rivals those of Kyouichi and yours, however his greatest flaw is that he loses concentration once he is pressured" "But how can he possibly beat my time????" Ryosuke smiled at this question.."He can't... This try out was just to test his skills in the corners not to see if he can beat you. The first half of Akagi deeply favors his GTR which has tremendous acceleration however it is in the second half where he would encounter more difficulty" just as he said this sounds of screeching was heard followed by loud oohs and ahhs by the crowd..."This is getting interesting" said Keisuke.
"Heh im in good condition, I will show all of you what real driving is all about not those useless drift methods which are just for show...damn that was close gotta be more careful next time..What is wrong with these corners, how can anyone manage to turn in right.. I'm understeering, gotta slow down..This GTR just can't turn into these corners as easily as the other cars....there goes my record breaking time...Damn." Nakazato soon reached the finish line but by now his time had already dropped to 0.8 seconds behind Keisuke which was still very respectable since people like Kenta could only manage a time which was about 6 seconds off Keisuke's."I see you're still as slow as before" said Keisuke to a now fuming Nakazato. However clapping by the bystanders soon washed the anger away from within Nakazato. These clapping were silenced however when Ryosuke stepped forward towards the other 2 racers.
"Well done and congratulations on qualifying to join Project D, however you still need to improve by a large margin before we allow you to race in real competitions." At this Nakazato quietly nodded as keisuke was seen talking and joking with Kenta who was now the leader of Redsuns. Just as everyone was settling down, Ryosuke's mobile phone suddenly rang.. He answered it and had a very short conversation with the caller. Everyone was now looking at the direction of Keisuke who simply shrugged his shoulders. After the phone call Ryosuke immediately called Keisuke and Nakazato to quickly board their cars and head for Rinka Mountain Pass which was a lesser known mountain pass also in the region of Gunma. "Call Takumi, tell him he would not want to miss this for his life" said Ryosuke commandingly to Keisuke who immediately obliged.
Rinka was a deserted mountain pass which was built in the early 90s, it was however deserted as the roads were built on soft mud causing certain parts of it to sink and collapse. A highway was instead built to replace it. After years of neglect this pass had broken down into such bad condition that no one considered it as a road or pass anymore. It was forgotten and had not had company for several years..until this day. A lone car sped along its lane, slowing down only slightly before entering a tight left hander in a beautiful drift. A quick jerk on the opposite direction of the steering wheel instantly caused the car to jerk into the other direction, continuing the drift into a right corner before speeding away on the straight. Three other cars suddenly appear and stopped beside a billboard just in time to see a silver Nissan 350z sweeping a corner before stopping in front of the three cars. Ryosuke stepped out of his car and proceeded towards the 350z driver who was doing the same towards Ryosuke.
They shook hands and spoke in a low tone voice leaving Keisuke and Nakazato in silence, both tried hard to see who it was but failed as Ryosuke and the driver of the 350z were standing in the shadows. Nakazato being impatient began to exit his car, Keisuke followed suit. They both had barely stepped away from their vehicles when hard deceleration of a powerful engine could be heard, Takumi had arrived. He parked his car just in front of Nakazato and mockingly welcomes his fallen fall into Project D. This carefree mode suddenly changed when a female voice was heard, "So the great Ryosuke was beaten fair and square by a little kid in that little Hachi Roku.. amazing".
