Practice (プラクティス, Purakutisu, "Practice") is the three hundred and sixty-eighth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Takumi and Keisuke take their practice runs, while Ryosuke looks out over the course.
Fumihiro notes that the third van is almost entirely filled with tires, and questions why they have a scooter. Ryosuke explains that they'll use it to examine the road when it's light.
An ex-member of Purple Shadow introduces himself to Hoshino and Joshima, who are enthusiastic to see him. Other old members of the team have shown up for the big race, and Hoshino and Joshima vow not to let them down.
Takumi confirms his settings with Matsumoto, before heading off on another practice run. Ryosuke notes Takumi's newfound interest in his cars setup, and says that whether he wins or loses his next battle he's ready for the next setup in his career.
Keisuke confirms his settings with Tomiguchi, while Kenta fawns over the newly upgraded FD. While taking a drink, Keisuke is approached by Hoshino.
