Set in the late 1990s, it follows the adventures of Takumi Fujiwara. The story begins when racers of the Red Suns come to challenge the local Speed Stars into a race. The Speed Stars take this challenge and decide it to be a race for pride; however, when the Speed Stars' team leader Iketani has an accident during a practice run, they are immediately in a bind for a new racer on the downhill.
After appealing to the man known as Bunta Fujiwara (Takumi's father) to take his place, Iketani is confident that the old man will come to save the day. But when the race day comes, Takumi appears with the AE-86 instead. And so begins the new legend of Akina's legendary AE-86. |
