High plateau

The Middle of the World monument, marking the Equator, stands beside the Ecuador racing game, and the lap around it climbs 196 metres. You race a track drawn from Ecuador's outline: it starts at Zamora Chinchipe, drops south-west through Macará and Loja to El Oro and Guayas, follows the coast up past the Golfo de Guayaquil, Manta and Esmeraldas, then turns east through Sucumbios to finish at Garza-cocha.

The Ecuadorian Grand Prix is a high-plateau mountain race with 16 corners in 4.9 km. The climb is extreme, so learn the lap before you push.

Around the Ecuador track

Cotopaxi volcano rises over the plateau, and the Middle of the World monument stands near the track. A Galápagos tortoise sits by the roadside. Banana plants grow on the lower ground, the towns are colonial in style, and pickups and buses are parked behind the barriers. The banner says Bienvenidos al Ecuador, and the boards read Guayaquil, Cuenca, Galápagos, Chimborazo and Quito.
