The Jamaica racing game takes you right round the island in a storm. It's a track drawn from Jamaica's coastline, starting at Saint Mary on the north side, heading east to Portland and Port Morant, along the south through Saint Thomas, Kingston, May Pen and Portland Ridge, out west to Black River and West Point, then home via Hanover and Saint James. Each of the 16 corners is named after the parish, town or headland it traces.
The Jamaican Grand Prix is a hilly river-jungle circuit with 62 metres of climb over 4.3 km of wet road.

Screenshots from the Jamaica circuit
Around the Jamaica track
The Blue Mountains rise behind the track, and Dunn's River Falls tumbles down its rocks nearby. There's a reggae beach bar and an old great house along the lap, with fields of banana and sugarcane between the rainforest. Pastel-painted buildings line the town sections, minibuses and cars are parked by the fences, and the banner reads Welcome to Jamaica. The boards name Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Negril and Port Antonio.
