You need Xvid codec and I have no idea how to install one to Mac.

Initial D

Basicly it is Japanese Anime, kids gather to mountain passes racing at night, drifting. Story is much better than any real car film, so is driving scenes, even it is animation. Well, at least that is my opinion

Its a Japanese cartoon serious about street racers who race at night on the touge's (twisty mountain roads) in the hills of Japan. I suppose it could be compared to a cartoon version of the fast and the furious (the film reminded me of that a little bit) but the technical talk is all accurate unlike F+F! All in Japanese though so have to watch with subtitles. First time I saw it I thought it was awful but then you get into the storyline and can't stop watching lol,
cheers

thanks jtbo, I can see it now. Is the music meant to be that crazy sounding?

No, there should not be music at all, but some reason rfactor puts that stupidly overspeed music there, I have not yet found how to avoid that
