Mud-brick walls and cotton fields frame this lap. The Burkina Faso racing game follows a track drawn from Burkina Faso's border, 4.3 km with 14 corners named after provinces and towns. Ioba ends the straight and Gaoua follows, then the lap runs through Noumbiel, Komoé, Léraba and Kénédougou, on via Houet, Kossi and Sourou to Oudalan, and through Yagha, Sebba and Tapoa to Kompienga.
The Grand Prix of Burkina Faso is a desert course in an oasis town, flat at 7 metres of climb and under clear skies.

Around the Burkina Faso track
The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso, built of mud with wooden beams sticking out of its walls, is the centrepiece. Mud granaries stand in clusters near the track, and the Sindou peaks, tall rock needles, rise on the horizon. The town is built in Sahel mud architecture, cotton grows around it, and mopeds and minibuses park by the fence. A banner reads Bienvenue au Burkina Faso, and the boards say Ouagadougou.
