Elimination Heats (Part Two) (前哨戦 (後編), Zenshō Sen (Kōhen), "Skirmish (Continued)") is the two hundred and seventy-fourth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Wataru admits they don't stand a chance against the Eight-Six, but they can win the uphill.
Kyoko is enjoying the race, as her being in the lead means that Keisuke has to focus on her. Keisuke is impressed by how fast Kyoko is, as he had thought racing a woman would be easy. He decides to change his approach, and vows not to lose to another FD.
At the start line, Fumihiro asks what Ryosuke had meant about Kyoko having a single turbo. Ryosuke says that a single turbo has turbo lag, and that it is the best system for a course like Sadamine. He explains that while Keisuke's setup is good, it just isn't optimal in this situation. Fumihiro asks why he didn't just tell Keisuke that so he could adjust his settings, and Ryosuke tells him that he wants Keisuke to improve his skills instead of just adjusting his settings to win.
Keisuke decides to overtake on the upcoming straightaway, but is disappointed he can't figure out how she gets more power out of the corners. He wonders what Ryosuke had meant about the single turbo.
