Now it's about a DLC focused on events inspired by manga and anime car culture from three Japanese series I know very well: Initial D, Over Rev! and Dricam!!

List of cars that should be added in this DLC:

Over Rev! (manga):
Toyota MR2 AW11 (unlicensed)
Honda Civic EG6

Initial D (anime):
Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 (Nakazato from Night Kids)
Nissan Sileighty (driven by the girls from Usui Pass)

Dricam!! (manga):
Nissan 180SX
Nissan Onevia

Why did I choose only two cars from Initial D?
Because many cars from Initial D are already in the game — for example the AE86 Trueno, which will be added soon, and there are already two Mazda cars that the Takahashi brothers drive.
As for Dricam!!, the manga focuses mainly on Nissan models, while other cars like the Toyota Mark II or Mazda MX-5 only appear briefly.
In Over Rev!, the main character Ryoko Shino drives an MR2 AW11 and competes mostly in touge battles, often winning. Her teammate Aika drives a Honda Civic EG6.

How to turn these cars into DLC events?
Each manga/anime gets two key events based on iconic moments from the story:

1. Over Rev!
Drive the MR2 AW11 and defeat the girl who drives a black Nissan Skyline R32 on a touge route.
Drive Aika’s Honda Civic EG6 and beat the rival black Civic Type-R EK9 from Team Ripley.

2. Initial D
Drive Nakazato’s black Skyline R32 and win against Takahashi’s RX-7 FCDS — but intentionally do not overtake the AE86.
Drive an unlicensed AE86 and defeat the Sileighty crew in a touge drift battle.

3. Dricam!!
Drive the Onevia and race against the Nissan 180SX.
Then switch: drive the 180SX and race against the Onevia.
These two events reflect the story where the main character loses the first race due to a crash, but later gets a rematch and wins in a drift competition on a closed track.

I think Evangelion was never about race events?

Still i think Evangelion was never about racing, just about corruption, alien invasion and secrets of villains. I made this post for purposely write about racing and drifting events which happened same at anime and manga i mentioned there.

But if JDM creators want make collab with any anime/manga studio, would it better if we get vinyls with anime characters on cars

For example this, jdm collab x anime studio for get new vinyls would be really cool

#

Imagine if we get new several anime studio collab for this dlc purposely because of manga and anime culture events
