Night

Track 5

Difficulty: Extreme

Night is the final track of San Francisco Rush 2049 (Arcade), available only by accumulating 50 miles on a Team Rush account or by holding the 'Music' button. Out of the original five tracks, it is the longest and only one with an Extreme difficulty. Night is sprawling with many paths and 90° turns through the Metro area, many of which feature hidden coins. Night also has the largest vertical climb shortcut. This shortcut brings about additional platforming if drivers wish to seek out the coins hidden on the various rooftops. Cable cars are present on numerous streets to block the paths of drivers on long straights and around sharp corners.

Track Layout

The race starts on Columbus Avenue with a hard right turn that passes several notable crossroads, including Lombard. After some airtime comes a left turn and then a choice of three different roads on the right side, quickest being the turn onto Powell street. Enter California Street by turning right at any of the previous roads, then make another right onto Laguna street by either sticking to the main road, or cutting through Lafayette Park. Drive down this road, then make a left turn long the quarter pipe to get onto Fillmore Street; a long stretch with a second road running on above the ground road. At the end Fillmore street is a fire engine and mech, where drivers must turn right to drive through The Duboce Triangle and eventually get onto 13th street. Make a left turn and head all the way down the Metro along Bryant street, then take another left to drive through the substructure of the Oakland Bridge and briefly drive along the Marina. Take another left to enter The Embarcadero, then right along another quarter pipe. Finally, take a quick left onto New Montgomery back to Columbus Avenue to end the race.

Fast Times Strategy

Special Edition

All three laps are done the same. At the start of the race, make a quick right turn an stay on the right side of the road. Slow down just a bit to not overdo the jump on Hyde. Make a right turn then take the first left turn onto Powell and cut across the pavement onto California. Next, take a right to drive through the blue building and cut across the grass to get onto Laguna. Continue through the quarter pipe normally, then drive onto one of the above side ledges on Fillmore. Continue along the track as normal, and do not turn left onto the Atari jump on Bryant. Instead, closeout the lap by not taking anymore shortcuts. At the Marina section, veer off to the left on Embarcadero for an easier left turn onto New Montgomery. Continue passed the quarter pipe and head toward Columbia to complete the lap.
