The Georgia racing game is a mountain lap, and a big one: 193 metres of climb across 21 corners. It's a track drawn from Georgia's outline, through the high Caucasus. From Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti it runs east through Racha-Lechkhumi and Mtskheta-Mtianeti to Kakheti, back west through Kvemo Kartli and Samtskhe-Javakheti, then down to Batumi and Ajaria on the coast before the final corners.

The Georgian Grand Prix is an alpine race with extreme elevation, so learn it before you push.

Around the Georgia track

The Holy Trinity Church at Gergeti sits high above the track with Mount Kazbek behind it, and the Narikala fortress stands over the town. Vineyards cover the lower slopes, the houses are Mediterranean in style, and Ladas and cars are parked along the fences. The banner greets you in Georgian, and the boards name Batumi, Kutaisi, Kazbegi, Rustavi, Svaneti and Tbilisi.
