Trivia[]
- The team gets its name from Route 246, which Yabitsu, the road that they race on, is a part of.
- Due to the Yabitsu course not appearing in an Initial D video game until The Arcade, the course that you face Kobayakawa and Omiya on differs between games:
- In Arcade Stage 5, 6AA and 7AAX, the team is fought on the Nagao course (the home course of Racing Team Katagiri Street Version).
- In Arcade Stage 8 Infinity, the team is fought on the Nanamagari course (the home course of Team Spiral).
- This might also explain why the team was absent in Arcade Stage Zero, despite the rest of the Kanagawa teams appearing in the game.
