Chapter 090

The Trousble With Slow Turns (低速コーナーの落とし穴, Teisoku Kōnā no Otoshiana, "Pitfall of low speed corners") is the ninetieth chapter of Initial D.

Plot
Seiji manages to put some distance between him and the Eight-Six. The two cars approach Akina's five hairpins, and Seiji drifts the whole way through. Takumi performs a gutter run, allowing him to take the corner at high speed. Seiji realises that the way his car is set up slows him down when he has to take multiple corners in a row. Seiji tries to change his technique for the next hairpin, but realises that Takumi has managed to catch up with him.
