Penguins stand by the shore on the Falkland Islands racing game, and the sky is grey all the way round. It's a track drawn from the Falkland Islands coastline, a 4.9 km cliff road with 12 corners named after the bays and points it traces: White Bluff, Low Bay, Sandy Cove, Barrow Harbour and Snug Cove, then Middle Point, Bold Point and Middle Creek, on to Lamarche Point, Strike Off Point and Stanley.
The Grand Prix of Falkland Islands is a hilly cliff road with 58 metres of climb, run under an overcast sky.

Screenshots from the Falkland Islands circuit
Around the Falkland Islands track
Christ Church Cathedral and its whalebone arch are the landmarks, and the red-roofed cottages around them are built in a British terraced style. Penguins gather by the water. Tundra covers the open ground, with Land Cruisers and pickups parked behind the fences. The banner reads Welcome to the Falklands, the boards say Stanley, and low cloud keeps the light flat and grey.
