Frozen lake

It's snowing, and one straight runs right across a frozen lake. This Finland racing game uses a race track shaped like Finland, 4.3 km with 14 corners. From North Karelia the lap runs down to Kymenlaakso and along the Gulf of Finland through Uusimaa to Turku, then up the Gulf of Bothnia, between Finland and Sweden, past Northern Ostrobothnia and Kemi, and on into Lapland.

The Finnish Grand Prix is a winter race through the lakeland, with 25 metres of climb.

Around the Finland track

Helsinki Cathedral stands over the lap, and a sauna cabin sits by the lake. The Olympic stadium tower rises in the distance. Snow is falling, timber houses dot the shore, and the lake itself is frozen solid, with the road running out across the ice. Cars and snowmobiles are parked by the fences. The banner says Tervetuloa Suomeen, and the boards read Tampere, Turku, Lappi, Oulu, Saimaa and Helsinki.
