Guinea's circuit is a long one, 4.9 km over a high plateau. In the Guinea racing game, you race a track drawn from Guinea's border and coastline: it starts at Siguiri, runs south through Beyla, Lola and Yomou, turns west past Macenta, Guéckédou and the Loma Mountains, reaches the sea at Forécariah and Boffa, then heads north by Boke, Gaoual and Koundara. Thirteen corners, each named after the place on the outline it traces.

The Grand Prix of Guinea is a mountain race, dramatic with 95 metres of climb, and it rewards patience.

Around the Guinea track

The Grand Mosque of Conakry is the big landmark, standing out above the hills. The green Fouta Djallon hills roll away from the plateau, round huts cluster in the villages, and banana plants grow by the road. Mopeds and minibuses are parked along the fences, the crowd waves flags, and a banner reads Bienvenue en Guinée. Conakry is printed on the boards, and the sky stays clear all lap.
