Tsuchisaka Lancer Evolution Team

The Tsuchisaka Lan Evo Team (土坂のランエボチーム Tsuchizaka no ran'ebochīmu), otherwise known simply as the "Men in Evos" (ランサーエボの男たち Ran Ebo no Otoko-tachi), is a racing team in Saitama. It consists of two Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions. They challenged Project D on Tsuchisaka and are antagonists in Fourth Stage and the manga. They race for money, and they win by all means necessary (including cheating). When they were defeated by Project D, they asked a bunch of bōsōzoku gangsters to beat them up, without knowing that these gangsters they called were actually from Gunma (the base of Project D), and former subordinates of Keisuke Takahashi. As a result, for the humiliation, the gangsters turned on the losers before being informed by Fumihiro that they'll have trial runs canceled because Keisuke's FD got damaged. It is unknown what happened to them, but it can be assumed that they may have been beaten up by the bōsōzoku gang members or arrested by the police for their actions. They are similar to Team Emperor because of their cars, but what makes them different from Team Emperor is their use of dirty tactics, and their behavioral traits being more similar to racing criminals.
