Takayuki Kuroki, representative of FLAT Racing and former member of the once-esteemed R200CLUB, finds himself entranced by the Devil's Z power. With over ten years of tuning knowledge in his hands, he begins to tune his 33R with one goal in mind; defeat the Z. After the legendary Blackbird loses to him, Kuroki takes on the Devil's Z -- aiming for nothing less than absolute victory.

Strategy
[Akio - Normal] You might've noticed this already, but as Mission Mode goes on, the routes you drive become increasingly longer. Since we're already more than halfway through though, it only ever goes up to 18km before finishing with Series 10.
Anyways, Kuroki is very tenacious during this mission and is yet another rival that has "chain" rubberbanding. He's not afraid to overtake, so defend your position as best as you can to prevent any major SP loss. He'll always pull ahead at the start of the race, so pass him at the first turn like usual and play defense until you reach the Wangan. A bit before you reach the first tunnel, Kuroki will blow his engine (a rather common theme in this series) and the mission will end.
[Akio - Hard] Same as Akio - Normal. Since Kuroki is so aggressive and you can't defend yourself without failing, it's best to let him pass entering certain turns before overtaking him on the apex/exit. Aside from having to play a bit safer around Kuroki, it's otherwise the same.

[Kuroki - Normal] This is pretty much the same as Akio, but with a new objective of reaching 320km/h on the Wangan. Curiously, Akio does not have any rubberbanding during this mission, so once you pass him, all you have to do is drive the rest of the route somewhat cleanly and reach the target speed. The target speed of 320km/h this time is not nearly as hard to achieve as Series 3, but you'll still need a decent corner exit to make it within the distance given. Once you reach 320km/h, your engine will blow and the mission will end.
[Kuroki - Hard] It was easy before, and it's still easy now. Nothing really changes here in terms of strategy, so if you're having trouble winning, practice the route in Normal mode and try again when you feel more confident.
