Chapter 059

Showcasing Talent (魅せろ拓海のスーパードリフト!!, Misero Takumi no Sūpā Dorifuto!!, "Behold! Takumi's super drift!") is the fifty-ninth chapter of Initial D.

Plot
Mako is amazed that Takumi is able to keep up with her. Sayuki tells her not to focus on him, as that's her job. Takumi misjudges the entry into a corner, and almost clips the cliff face, but is able to recover and keep with the SilEighty. Sayuki realises they're approaching C=121, and tells Mako to drift the entire corner, as she doubts Takumi would be able to follow them all the way through.

At the corner, a group of locals talk about the SilEighty. They hear cars approaching, and see the SilEighty and the Eight-Six. The two cars enter the corner one after the other at the same speed.
