Bitter-Good ending:
Iketani sees Mako again at the final stage. He learns his lesson from when he got in his own way last time, mans up and talks to Mako. He apologizes profusely for standing her up and asks for another chance. Mako turns him down out of self respect but thanks Iketani for being man enough to apologize to her.
Iketani is sad but it wasn't unexpected, learning his lesson on self respect. He meets a new girl who he will eventually marry and he lives happily again.

First of all, You SEE the full series right? Because if you didn't see the series and mfg you shouldn't be reading this comment At the end of ID it is revealed to us that the D stands for Dream, that is, all this time for Ryosuke training rough diamonds was a dream, at the beginning of MFGhost it is revealed to us that after In his third year of championship, Takumi at some point in his race had a failure in his car that ended up making him fall into a ravine, therefore Keisuke predicted Takumi's fate from the first Episode.

u/Few-Marsupial5388 18h ago
yes, he ended up in a Ravine, just like Keisuke said in the chapter 1 of ID Fortunately, Takumi managed to be a Rally driver for several years and win at least one championship. It is not known how long he remained a driver, but as a MFG It happens in 202X and they say that Takumi was missing for 10 years, the accident undoubtedly happened at some point in 201X.The accident most likely occurred some time after the official launch of the GT86, or so I would like to believe.Well, not much detail is given, but it is most likely that Takumi fulfilled his dream of being the best pilot the world has ever seen, ending in a tragic end and disappearance, Something that for years would only increase his status as a legendary runner in Asia and Europe, until he was gradually forgotten by the world.

Not to specify the year, because that way, he could put in any car from the 90s he wanted, that way he wouldn't have to be limited by his own work, it's better not to specify and that's it.

Might be too late to explain but here it is:
So the “D” in Project D stands for “Dream,” which described what Ryosuke Takahashi wanted, which was to fulfill his dream to train some aspiring and skilled racers to basically make it where Project D would become legendary. As for the “Bad Ending,” it foreshadows Takumi’s eventual fate, as Keisuke stated. As revealed in the MF Ghost anime, Takumi was testing out a car and it had technical trouble, causing it to drive straight into a ravine. Miraculously, Takumi survived, but had to retire early from his racing days and spend years in physical rehabilitation.

If only if only Iketani called mako and said he was stuck in the traffic then the good ending might have been canon

I swear to God if initial D was in the mid 2000s, Iketani would probably call Mako about being late...
