We discuss the length $\vec{L}_{c,n}$ of the longest directed cycle in the sparse random digraph $D_{n,p},p=c/n$, $c$ constant. We show that for large $c$ there exists a function $\vec{f}(c)$ such that $\vec{L}_{c,n}/n\to \vec{f}(c)$ a.s. The function $\vec{f}(c)=1-\sum_{k=1}^\infty p_k(c)e^{-kc}$ where $p_k$ is a polynomial in $c$. We are only able to explicitly give the values $p_1,p_2$, although we could in principle compute any $p_k$.
