Short, tight and on the streets: the Eswatini racing game packs 12 corners into 3.7 km. It's a track drawn from Eswatini's border, so the lap goes all the way round this small, landlocked country. From Hhohho it heads through Mananga and Nkonjane to Lubombo, down to Golela and Shiselweni, past the Mahamba Mountains and Sicunusa, then back up through Manzini to Bellskop.

The Grand Prix of Eswatini is a downtown street circuit with 25 metres of rolling climb. Every corner carries the name of a real place on the border.

Around the Eswatini track

Execution Rock and the royal kraal are the big landmarks, with Sibebe rock rising nearby and beehive huts in the village by the road. Between the downtown buildings you catch sight of the highlands, and sugarcane grows on the lower ground. Minibuses and pickups are parked behind the barriers. The banner says Wamukelekile, the sky is clear, and the boards name Lobamba and Mbabane.

How to drive the Eswatini circuit

The 580-metre main straight finishes at Hhohho, turn 1, and that's the place to pass. Three corners later comes the slowest, Nkonjane at 71 km/h. On a short street lap like this the walls are close, so a clean run through Lubombo and Golela matters more than a late lunge.
