Right-hander

nounShop talkAutomotive

A curve or corner on a track or road that turns to the right.

A right-hand bend in the road or on a race circuit. Drivers and suspension tuners analyze right-handers because they load the left-side tires and suspension components heavily. On a track, a sequence of fast right-handers can cause oil starvation if the engine's wet sump is not properly baffled.

Heard on the job

Brake late for the tight right-hander and try to carry your speed onto the straight.
