The Feeling Team or Racer Wannabes are minor characters in the Wangan Midnight and Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune series.
The Feeling Team are a unknown group of drivers appearing in the anime and Maximum Tune series. In the anime, they first appeared in a red Mazda MX-5 encountering Akio's Devil Z, and later, another group of wannabes suffered from crashing their R32 while racing Akio and Ishida. From Maximum Tune 4 and 5, they cosplayed as Project D from the Initial D series, right down to sharing the same cars as the members.
Kenji Takahashi voices Racer Wannabe 1 in the anime series as well as Gen Sasaki in the same series.

Trivia[]
- The MX-5 driven by one of the Racer Wannabes is somewhat similar to Tohru Suetsugu (Tohru Matsushi in Tokyopop Version)'s MX-5 from Initial D.
- In Maximum Tune 6, The Feeling Team and his Initial D imposter (Chapter 51 Maximum Tune 5DX+) were replaced by the chapter involving Hayashi giving his RX-7 FC3S a test drive while making a deal with Kijima at Mt. Taikan Downhill (Chapter 55 Maximum Tune 6). Chapter 52~55 in Maximum Tune 5DX+ is the same as Chapter 51~54 in Maximum Tune 6.
