Just curious, has the episode count been revealed yet for the series?

I don't think that's been announced yet.

Also is type technique his third or second form? Just thinking if they'll try to go for a traffic light pattern but this time with red yellow and green as opposed to Accel and his random ass blue.

We usually don't know the episode count until WAY towards the end.

I believe the Type pattern so far is Speed>Wild>Technique.

Actually Japanese traffic lights are red, yellow, and blue like so:

Just now realizing something after hearing it mentioned in a Drive Driver review...

Why is his logo an "R"??

Rider?

I was thinking "Reverse," but then I realized it didn't make any sense beyond a very, very vague car reference.

Well, R usually stands for racing spec when it comes to cars, so that's my best guess given what we know. I'm gonna assume that it ties into some other thing later down the road, considering the Speed Shift Car's logo is an S in the same style as the R.

I'm totally calling that the belt is somehow connected to his partner that "died". Heck, I'm going as far as saying it is his partner that "died".
