Pace is the point here. This Barbados racing game takes a track drawn from Barbados's coastline and gives it just eight corners over 4.9 km, with the slowest taken at 89 km/h. The long straight finishes at North Point, the lap rounds Saint Lucy and Deebles Point down the east side, swings through Saint Philip and Ealing Park, and comes back past Bridgetown, Christ Church and Saint Michael.
The Grand Prix of Barbados is a modern circuit with 23 metres of rolling climb.

Around the Barbados track
The Parliament Buildings of Bridgetown, gothic and stone-built, stand over the lap. Chattel houses in bright colours sit along the roads, and the Morgan Lewis windmill rises out of the sugarcane fields. Minibuses and cars park by the fence, and the skies are clear. A banner says Welcome to Barbados, and the boards along the barriers read Bridgetown.

How to drive the Barbados circuit
Most of the time you're flat out. The main straight runs 1,500 metres to North Point, and the slowest corner, Bridgetown at turn 6, is still taken at 89 km/h. With only eight bends, the race is won on the brakes into North Point and on the exit from Saint Michael onto the straight.
