Chapter 060

Cheers for the Double Act (とりもどせ最速のコンビネーション!!, Torimodose Saisoku no Konbinēshon!!, "Get back to it, the fastest duo!") is the sixtieth chapter of Initial D.

Plot
All three cars fire into C=121 at high speed. Sayuki is amazed that the Eight-Six is copying them, and wonders if he'll be able to get through the tight exit without crashing. The two cars exit the corner, with Takumi hitting the optimal line, something even Mako wasn't able to do. Sayuki loses hope of victory.

At the starting line, the SpeedStars wonder how the race is going. Kenji wonders why Sayuki was riding along with Mako. Iketani says he isn't sure, but that they're best friends, and they've been racing since they started. They imagine she plays the same role as a rally navigator.

In the SilEighty, Sayuki doesn't give Mako instructions for the corner until they enter it. Mako becomes annoyed with her when she tells her that the race is already over. She calls her dead weight, and says that she won't give up until the very end. Sayuki pulls it together, and starts giving instructions. Takumi finally understands the rhythm of the pass.
