Screenshots from the Cabo Verde circuit
Around the Cabo Verde track
Cidade Velha and the colourful houses of Mindelo make up the main scenery. In the distance, the volcano Fogo rises against the sky, and a lighthouse marks one of the many points. The land around the track is dark and volcanic, with banana plants in the sheltered spots and pastel houses in the villages. Minibuses and pickups park by the fences. The banner reads Bem-vindos a Cabo Verde, and the boards say Praia.

How to drive the Cabo Verde circuit
Use the 890-metre straight to Ponta de Geneanes, because the rest is busy. Twenty-one corners follow, with Ponta Preta, turn 8, the slowest at 70 km/h. The road rises and falls through 117 metres of climb, so the car is rarely level and braking points shift with the slope.
