MAY 2007!!!
> Battle Stage 2
>
> Keisuke Takahashi vs Smiley SakaiInitial D Battle Stage 2 summarizes the major street races from the recent Fourth Stage TV series. Unlike the last Battle Stage it is highly unlikely that any of the previous TV series’ races would be re-animated. It is unconfirmed if it will focus entirely on the races of Fourth Stage, but the Battle Digest DVD, included as part of the Initial D Fourth Stage NON-STOP MEGA-MIX music album, featured races from Fourth Stage in an 8-minute promo (using a mix of several songs not found in the Fourth Stage TV series) for a Battle Stage 2. **The release date for this new Battle Stage according to this promo is May 2007.**
>
> No other details are available, however **two previously unseen (in full) races, those being Keisuke Takahashi vs Atsurou Kawai and Keisuke Takahashi vs Smiley Sakai seem likely to be included** as they are both seen, albeitly shortly, in the promo mentioned above.

Other than the two new races, these battle stages are kind of like clip shows. Nothing to get too excited over.

Well if the reports are true, all the races we didn’t see (FD Rx-7) will be shown in full.
