The Mark of a Pro (プロたるゆえん, Puro Taru Yuen, "What Makes a Pro") is the two hundred and forty-eighth chapter of Initial D.

Plot[]

Tomoyuki feels like an idiot for racing against someone so young in an old car, and plans to overtake.

Todo asks Sakai and Daiki if they understand what the difference is between their driving styles and Tomoyuki's, but isn't satisfied with their answers. He explains that experience on the track is the reason he is that much better than them.

The two cars approach a hairpin, and Kyoichi is surprised that Takumi is still in the lead. Daiki follows Takumi through the first hairpin, and is able to take the inside on the second, much to Takumi's shock.
