Chapter 072

The Man Who Shows No Fear (ステアリング インフォメーション, Sutearingu Infomēshon, "Steering Information") is the seventy-second chapter of Initial D.

Plot
The rain continues to fall as the racers approach the final corners.

Ryosuke is annoyed by the rain, as it's interfering with his plans. He admires Keisuke for being willing to race in such weather.

Keisuke notices that Nakazato's driving is becoming more erratic because of the pressure he is putting on him.

Takumi figures out that the last segment of the course is downhill, and realises that the racers will need to have preserved the grip on their tyres.

The two racers reach the peak, and Keisuke goes to make his move from the outside. Nakazato think's that he can't pass at the speed they're going, but Keisuke believes he has enough grip.
