Chapter 076

The Genius That Knows No Bounds (絶叫ドライブ つきぬける天才!!, Zekkyō Doraibu Tsukinukeru Tensai!!, "Thrill Ride! Brilliant Overtake!") is the seventy-sixth chapter of Initial D.

Plot
Takumi drifts all the way through the corner, amazing the crowd.

Iketani and Kenji realise that the race must have started. They wonder how Takumi will do, and Iketani reasons that he must have driven in the rain during his deliveries.

The race reaches the downhill portion of the course, and Kenta raises his pace.

In the Eight-Six, Itsuki is amazed by how quickly Takumi is going despite the low visibility.

Kenta thinks to himself that the camcorder Ryosuke had placed in his car won't be of any use, as there's no way he could lose. Kenta realises the Eight-Six has caught up to him, and is following close behind.

Further up the mountain, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution approaches the ongoing race.
