The main straight ends at the slowest corner of the lap, and that sets the tone. This Belarus racing game follows a race track shaped like Belarus, 4.3 km with 14 corners named for places on the border: Dubok first, then Brest and Hrodna in the west, up past Drisvyaty to Vitebsk, and down the eastern side through Mogilev and Gomel to Gden'. A few towns turn up twice, once as a region and once as a town.

The Belarusian Grand Prix is held on a modern circuit with 19 metres of rolling climb.

Around the Belarus track

Mir Castle, with its red-brick towers, is the landmark here. A Stalinist monument stands near the track, and a wooden village church sits out in the wheat fields. The town by the circuit is Soviet-style apartment blocks, with Ladas and buses parked by the fence. Skies are clear. A banner reads Сардэчна запрашаем, and the boards say Hrodna, Brest, Vitebsk, Homel, Narach and Minsk.

How to drive the Belarus circuit

The 1,000-metre main straight ends at Dubok, turn 1, which is also the slowest corner of the lap at 85 km/h. That makes it the big braking zone and the best place to pass. The rest of the lap is quick and fairly gentle, with 19 metres of rolling climb.
