The real Initial D run, Mt. Akina, When the roads are empty, 4am | Uncut Drive | JDM Masters

[@JDMMasters]

The driver only runs to the skate rink turnoff and does a U turn. This is because the local touge runners do not want to make too much noise and disturb the onsen town at the bottom of the road. A descriptive video will come later about the course.

[@baguskusumaloka]

Wow they have a good manner

[@Ammageddon89]

How it is supposed to be. Nobody will call the cops on you, if you keep it to yourself and dont disturb or endanger other people. Just show respect and care for other people and they will do too.

[@sataneatcheese6243]

[@tturtle1659]

Total common sense to me. Too many good roads become verboten because of a few stupid oiks who ruin it for everyone else. I have my own "secret" routes here in Austria and on my drives I pass through more than one or two small villages, I make it a habit to get off the loud pedal and SLOW down well before I reach the village limits and not hammer it for at least 1/2 a mile after I leave.
