Team 246

Team 246 (チーム246 (ツーフォーシックス Chīmu Tsū Fō Shikksu), also known as "The 246ers", is a team based in the Shizuoka Prefecture. Their home course is Yabitsu. They were part of the four lines of defence set up by Sidewinder.

According to Bunta and Ryosuke, Shizuoka is the centre of street (drift) racing, notable for its mountainous regions (Mount Fuji is located there) as well as the Fuji Speedway. Therefore, Shizuoka attracts many racers, amateur and professionals alike.

Team 246 has many members, where representatives for a race are voted by its 31 members. For their battles with Project D, the team voted for Kobayakawa and his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution to represent on the uphill (receiving 26 of 31 votes), with the teams leader, Satoshi Omiya and his Mazda Roadster to represent them in the downhill (receiving all 31 votes)
