There are 21 corners packed into 4.3 km on the Côte d'Ivoire racing game. It's a race track shaped like Côte d'Ivoire: the lap leaves Sud-Comoé along the Gulf of Guinea, through Abidjan, Lagunes and Dabou to Cape Palmas, then north up the western border past Guiglo, the Dix-Huit Montagnes and the Guinea Highlands to Odienné, and back east across Savanes and Ferkessédougou to Zanzan.
The Grand Prix of Côte d'Ivoire is a marina circuit with 21 metres of gentle climb.

Around the Côte d'Ivoire track
The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, the great church at Yamoussoukro, rises over the harbour. Across the water stand the towers of Abidjan's Plateau, and cocoa palms, oil palms and banana plants line the road. Minibuses and mopeds are parked along the fences. The banner reads Bienvenue en Côte d'Ivoire, the boards say Yamoussoukro, and the sky is clear.

How to drive the Côte d'Ivoire circuit
The main straight is just 540 metres, ending at Sud-Comoé, turn 1, so passes have to be earned there. From then on it's corner after corner. The slowest is Bafing at 79 km/h, turn 13, up in the north-west: brake early, because Odienné and Denguélé follow fast.
