A street circuit, but the streets follow a whole country. This Argentina racing game is a race track shaped like Argentina, 3.7 km with 16 corners named after the places it traces. The straight drops you at San Antonio de los Cobres, then the lap crosses the Altiplano and Salta, runs east through Formosa, Chaco and Misiones, comes down the Río de la Plata past Buenos Aires, and follows the coast south to Santa Cruz.

The Argentine Grand Prix is held in an old town, almost dead flat with 8 metres of climb.

Around the Argentina track

The Obelisco de Buenos Aires stands at the centre of the view, with colonial-style streets around it. The rest of the country turns up as scenery: the Perito Moreno glacier, a gaucho estancia with cattle grazing, wheat and vineyards beyond the old town. Cars, buses and pickups are parked along the kerbs. The boards read Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza, Patagonia and Pampas, and a banner says Bienvenidos a la Argentina.

How to drive the Argentina circuit

At 1,160 metres, the main straight takes up almost a third of the lap and ends at San Antonio de los Cobres. Misiones, turn 6, is the slowest corner at 60 km/h. The town is flat, so there are no hills to help: it's all about braking late and getting the power down early.
