For a country this small, the lap is surprisingly long. An Andorra racing game stretches a track drawn from Andorra's border into 4.9 km and 18 corners, named after the peaks and parishes it passes: Pic de la Tosa de Juclar first, then Canillo, Encamp, Escaldes-Engordany and Sant Julià de Lòria, before the loop back round through La Massana, Pic Negre and Ordino. Andorra sits high in the Pyrenees, between France and Spain, and the track feels it.
The Grand Prix of Andorra is a mountain race above the ski slopes, with 110 metres of climb and snow coming down.

Screenshots from the Andorra circuit
Around the Andorra track
Ski runs cut down the mountainside beside the track, and the snow keeps coming. The Casa de la Vall and a Pyrenean church are the main sights, with a Romanesque bell tower and stone chalets further along the valley. The scenery is pure alpine: steep slopes, chalet roofs, SUVs and cars parked by the fence. A banner reads Benvinguts a Andorra, and the barrier boards say Andorra la Vella.

How to drive the Andorra circuit
The 740-metre straight ends at Pic de la Tosa de Juclar, and soon after comes Cap de la Cometa del Forn, turn 3, the slowest corner at 69 km/h. Then the road climbs to a hairpin past the ski slopes and plunges all the way back down, so mind your braking on the descent.
