Akina

Akina is the home course of the Akina SpeedStars, as well as Bunta and Takumi Fujiwara. Bunta was the fastest driver on Akina for many years, but is no longer active as a street racer and most locals are unaware of him. The deliveries for his tofu business travel through the pass, and he used this to train his son Takumi as a racer. After his racing debut, Takumi became known as "Akina's Eight-Six" and was considered to be the fastest racer on Akina, eventually setting the downhill course record in an untimed run. Akina is considered as a place with natural BOP, with it's slow hairpin, short straight and long medium speed corner you can make use of any car you use. (as keisuke said in the anime he couldn't use the full power of his engine due to the track).

Gunma Cycle Sports (Gunsai Touge)

Gunma Cycle Sports Center, better known as Gunsai Touge, is a private mountain road and cycling circuit located in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. Originally built for bicycle racing, its narrow and technical layout became well known among Japan’s motorsport and touge communities. The course features tight hairpins, rapid elevation changes, blind corners and narrow sections surrounded by dense mountain forest. Its technical nature makes it less about outright speed and more about precision, rhythm and car control. Gunsai became especially famous through Japanese tuning culture, with high level builds such as RE Amemiya’s RX-7 being driven there. Today, it remains an iconic location for touge enthusiasts and a symbol of Japan’s mountain driving culture.

Myogi

Mount Myōgi (妙義山 Myōgi-san) is one of the major mountains in the Gunma Prefecture, Japan, located west of Tomioka. It is well known for its rocks weathered into fantastic forms. This famous peak is ranked among Japan's three most noted places of rugged beauty. There are many hiking courses, and when the foliage changes color there are splendid views to be seen. This serves as the home course of the NightKids team. The map is played in the rain on the first stage server as the two races in the anime happened during the rain.

Usui

Usui Pass (碓氷峠, Usui-tōge) is a mountain pass that lies between the Nagano and Gunma Prefectures in Japan. It has served as one of the major transportation routes in central Japan since at least the eighth century. It is the home course of Impact Blue. It is also the home course of the Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya.
