The Agony of Understeer (痛恨のアンダーステア, Tsūkon no Andāsutea, "Damaging understeer") is the forty-seventh chapter of Initial D.

Plot[]

The two cars approach Akina's five hairpins. Takumi enters the corner too fast and understeers, giving Ryosuke the opportunity to overtake. Ryosuke thinks that while Takumi's skill is amazing, he has little skill in a race. He attempts to pull ahead so as to not give Takumi the chance to get a feel for his technique.

Mako and Sayuki are impressed by the two racers. Sayuki says that she thinks the Eight-Six might catch up, as he has the better line. She notes the similarity between him and the two of them.

Now behind Ryosuke, Takumi is feeling less pressured. He's surprised that Ryosuke hasn't left him behind yet, and realises that if an opening presents itself he can win.
