Initial D is boring as hell, I've still got nostalgia for it and love Eurobeat but god Takumi is just such a boring protag.

I honestly enjoyed wangan midnight more as it comes off more as a car person anime where Initial D just seems like very boring shonen but with cars.

There are a tonne of interesting looking car manga, but none of them are translated. I'd love to be able to read stuff like shakotan boogie.

I did try reading a couple chapters of MF Ghost, which is Shuichi Shigeno's current manga but again the protag is just pretty much Takumi v2.

This sort of stuff was going on up until a few years ago when Japan cracked down on it. I think now quite a few of the roads featured in Initial D now have humps and centre dividers on the corners to stop people drifting em.

I kinda liked the original goofy looking character designs.

You should just watch battle stage 1&2 which is pretty much just all the racing bits, although there isn't one for the final part.
