Hey all, this is Jak8, and I figured I might as well look into all the amounts of times you need to hit a direction on the map to warp to an event. So before we get into this, note that:

• Travelling with Mack is always the default once it's unlocked in Stadium
• Academy Challenges seem to always be selected when you tap right once, and they're always the second race in all of the non-RS/OV/TP areas.
• I will update this guide with more info once I've tested all of the minimal amount of directional inputs to select a specific event.

Here's the current data I have:
