Ah yes, TXRD2. Probably one of those masterpieces which would have been forgotten without YT. The DayNight cycle on this game makes it so fun, given you have both legal and well, other types of racing in the same game. While the physics can be a bit weird at times, specially in the later, secret rally stage. It doesn't mean this game is unplayable, always a good day when people try it out!

The TXR series was famous for this, but there was no feeling else like being the King, and conquering the rivals. Great videos buddy, I love watching them!

There was time when you can beat Hamagaki, Jintei, and Emotional King, buy rain doll, and when you race them, use spike tires, because the rivals will use slick wet tires that's tarmac, in that way, you can beat them!

The game really jumped in difficulty towards the end.

This is the only game that I will most likely keep playing until the day I die. I swear... I picked it up in 2020 and I have been playing it constantly. Whenever I "beat" the game I just erase my save and start over again, happily. The game is so varied and packed with content that it is practically never ending. Even the AI surprises me to this day.

Honestly knew Kaido President was going to be stopping point of this run. But hey, if it takes a Turbo Charged AWD swapped S2000's to take this thing down, that's honestly a complement.

Really?? That has made my obvious lie about initial D somewhat more plausible

_"Having confidence in your own ride is what racing is all about."_ When I really started to take this game seriously, I realized that the car you have is a very secondary concern. When driving, everyone always carries some sort of safety margin. True speed is achieved by minimizing that margin. By driving the way the car wants rather than the driver, and having the boldness to fly into corners at high speed. Do that, and any car can be a formidable fighting machine. I say this as someone who started conquest with an ae85 levin from the used dealer and no parts. This thing can absolutely win on hokkaido, but it will require a different racing style. One which demands foresight and fine steering control.

No joke, the City Turbo is the best starter car. I usually struggle once I reach Stage4. But it destroys everyone else before that haha

Unironically, I think the City Turbo is one of the fastest FWD cars in the game. It's got an amazing power-weight ratio and a short wheelbase to keep it nimble, traits also present in the game breaking/meta defining ASL Garaiya and Opel Speedster (which also have the advantage of the MR layout, which is downright amazing in this game outside of rally).

@michaelxdrift

It is one of the fastest. The fastest FWD car is the crx in terms of all around. If it was a drag race, then the integra type r (rsx) is the fastest.

It's crazy how your name gives out so much credit.

Such a gem, plays great on PCSX2 :) Like an idiot I choose an AE85 as my starter car, but since the game is tight with cash and 80HP are too slow I started over and choose the Honda CRX which races much better. Sorry Tofu- Box :)

This is why this game is the absolute best! You don't need much to beat a 350z

Love this

how possibly a 240hp/640 kg car be slow? that's well over 370hp per ton... there's a myriad of racecars under that ratio, it's insane that it's even able to steer with that much power to the front wheels.

Is there actual factual evidence somewhere that Initial D was meant to start as a Honda City? I can only find rumor mill posts on reddit saying that.
