The battle between Takeshi Nakazato and Seiji Iwaki is the fourteenth battle of Initial D.
Prior to the Battle[]
The race was decided as an uphill battle. As both cars launch, Shingo for once supports Nakazato.
During the Battle[]
With Nakazato under pressure, Seiji passes him with minimal effort. Nakazato tries to catch up but understeers, which causes the right front corner of his R32 to hit the wall, resulting in his loss.
