Only eight corners, and the slowest is still taken at 97 km/h. This Algeria racing game follows a track drawn from Algeria's border, so the lap is long sweeps rather than tight turns: from the Hamada du Drâa across the Atlas Saharien and Atlas Tellien to El Tarf, down past Tébessa to the Tassili-n-Ajjer, then through the Idhän Murzuq to Tamanghasset.
The Algerian Grand Prix is held in open dunes, with only 22 metres of rolling climb, and sand haze softens the horizon.

Around the Algeria track
Maqam Echahid rises out of the sand haze as the centrepiece. Around the lap you pass the white houses of a kasbah, a Saharan ksar in mud brick and stands of date palms. Courtyard buildings line the district by the track, the dunes run off in every direction, and four-by-fours and cars sit behind the fences. The banner reads مرحبا بكم · Bienvenue, and the boards name Oran, Constantine, Annaba, Tamanrasset and Algiers.

How to drive the Algeria circuit
At 960 metres, the main straight is long enough to settle into the slipstream before braking for the Hamada du Drâa. The slowest bend is El Tarf, turn 4, at 97 km/h, so even the tight part is fast. The dunes roll gently, but the haze makes braking points harder to judge.
