Project D

Dream Project

The ultimate expedition to conquer every mountain pass in Kanto.

The dream

The ultimate expedition

Kanto · 100% wins

Project D is Ryosuke Takahashi's ultimate team: a cold, surgical expedition to conquer every mountain pass in Kanto. The formula is absolute specialization — one driver who owns the downhill, another who rules the uphill — backed by data analysis, night reconnaissance and preparation with no margin for error.

Takumi Fujiwara attacks the descents in his AE86; Keisuke Takahashi devours the climbs in his FD3S. Three expeditions, twenty-one battles, zero defeats: the record of a winning machine built to carry the touge into the professional world.

Director & Strategist

The rotary master. For Ryosuke, racing is like playing chess at high speed. Every battle is won first in the mind, analyzing the opponent, studying the road, calculating every variable.

After dominating Gunma with the Akagi RedSuns, he dissolved them to create his true dream. "Dream" is not just a name, it's his vision of combining pure analysis, overwhelming passion, and natural instinct to create drivers who will conquer the professional world.

He seeks perfect driving where technique, knowledge, and execution merge. His greatest lesson came from Takumi, who taught him that pure instinct can surpass even perfect strategy.

The philosophy

Perfection through specialization

01

Strategy

Every battle is studied with scientific precision. No improvisation, no margin for error.

02

Specialization

Each driver masters their terrain: downhill or uphill. Perfection in one area beats mediocrity in both.

03

Evolution

Every battle is a lesson. Every defeat, a stepping stone towards absolute perfection.

"Project D is not just a racing team. It's an experiment to prove that with the right strategy, proper specialization and pure talent, we can conquer any circuit, defeat any rival. It's the pursuit of absolute perfection in touge."

— Ryosuke Takahashi, Founder
