Wet tarmac, a marina full of yachts and ten corners to learn. This British Virgin Islands racing game uses a track drawn from the British Virgin Islands' coastline, 4.3 km long, with each corner named after a bay, point or hill. The Bluff ends the straight, Well Bay and Road Harbour follow, then Pason Hill, Flamingo Pond and Sopers Hole, before Long Bay Point, Du Bois Point and Mount Healthy bring the lap around.

The Grand Prix of British Virgin Islands is a harbour circuit, flat at 9 metres of climb, and it's raining.

Around the British Virgin Islands track

The Baths of Virgin Gorda, huge granite boulders piled on the beach, are the landmark here. Sailing yachts crowd the marina beside the track, and a lighthouse stands on the point. Pastel Caribbean houses line the roads, pickups and cars park behind the fences, and rain keeps everything wet. The boards read Road Town, and a banner says Welcome to the BVI.

How to drive the British Virgin Islands circuit

The 1,000-metre main straight ends at The Bluff, and it's long enough to pass if you get a tow. Sopers Hole, turn 7, is the slowest at 76 km/h. The track is flat, but the rain is what matters: grip is lower everywhere, and the braking zones come up earlier than you think.
