Overview

Long Right has 8 corners, 2 right-hand and 6 left-hand, turning through 640° in total on a 404 m lap. The tightest corner has a 16 m radius. At 18 m wide it is one of the narrowest tracks in the game, where one wall touch ends the run.

To beat the target you need an average of 41.7 s a lap. Corners swap direction, so the transitions between them decide the lap.

Tips

  • Drive one clean lap first: any wall contact restarts the run, and your ghost only records runs you finish.
  • Once you have a personal best, race its ghost and watch the checkpoint splits to find the corner that costs you time.
  • On a track this narrow, a smaller angle and an earlier entry are faster than a heroic slide.
  • New to the technique? How to drift with a keyboard covers handbrake entry, counter-steer and linking.
