Ireland's lap packs 20 corners into 4.0 km. In the Ireland racing game, you drive a track drawn from Ireland's border and coastline: out of Cork it runs west to Killarney, Waterville and Kerry, up the Atlantic side through Tralee, Shannon, Clare, Galway and Mayo, on to Sligo and Donegal, round Carrigart and Fahan, then cuts back through Leitrim and Monaghan to Wexford and the straight.
The Irish Grand Prix is set in an estate park, rolling with 30 metres of climb and a lake beside the track, all in a soft mist.

Screenshots from the Ireland circuit
Around the Ireland track
The Rock of Cashel stands on its hill above the park, and a round tower and a Celtic cross mark the way round. Thatched cottages and terraced houses sit among green hills, the lap runs along a lake, and mist settles over everything. Cars are parked behind the fences, a flag-waving crowd lines the banks, and the banner reads Fáilte go hÉirinn. The boards name Cork, Galway, Limerick and Mondello.
