Bon bini, says the banner, and then the Curaçao racing game hands you a long run along the cliffs. This is a track drawn from Curaçao's coastline, with eight corners named after the places it traces: Boka Labadera, Boka Tabla and Punt Kanon, then Willemstad, Playa Hundu and Boka Santa Krus, before the lap turns at Westpunt for the 1,550-metre straight back to the start.
The Grand Prix of Curaçao is a cliff road with 52 metres of climb, so it's not as flat as it looks from above.

Around the Curaçao track
The coloured waterfront of the Handelskade is the landmark, a row of brightly painted houses facing the water at Willemstad. The Queen Emma pontoon bridge floats across the harbour, and cactus covers the dry ground between the bends. Cars and minibuses are parked behind the fences. The sky is clear, the sea is never far away, and the boards read Willemstad.
