	Metropolis Street Racer Driving FAQ - IGN FAQs
		This is because of the relative straightforwardness of San Francisco compared to London and Tokyo: there are few obstacles in the middle of the raceways, relatively few protruding sections of sidewalk and fencing, few narrow sections, and a good amount of lighting for nighttime racing.
		Unlike London and Tokyo, San Francisco also features primarily right-angle corners (the Pacific Heights sector comprises EXCLUSIVELY right-angle corners), so there are relatively few surprises as to the corner radius at each turn, even when racing in a new area of the city for the first time.
		Now in the former Queen Victoria Memorial area, the raceway is a LONG steady right-hand corner around the tall white statue; this corner runs for well more than 270 degrees in total curvature.
