On Initial D at around third to fourth stage, they finally form the group
Project D (or get the left members into it) and somewhere along it Ryosuke
mentions that "D" also stands for something else that he would reveal when the
project is completed.

What does the "D" stand for?

I know it's not "Drifting" (or so I think, since they name it a lot of times
with different meaning along the episodes, but I haven't watched it all yet)
so I was thinking on something along the lines of "Driver" but wouldn't make
much sense I guess.

When they form Project D what does the D stands for?


I haven't watched the anime, but I read the manga. What 'D' stands for has not
been explained explicity, but in the last chapter, Ryosuke Takahashi mentions
three words that start with the letter 'D' when he prays to his girl friend.
(mouse over to see the spoiler):

> dream, driver, diamond (in the rough).

D stands for dreams and also for diamonds. Project D leader's dream was to
train and uncover young, talented drivers and shape them into incredible
drivers: like diamonds in the rough.

It could be the straight line in the D is the straightaway and the semicircle
is the drift. That's what I always thought. It could represent the repetition
of drifting.
