The Kiribati racing game is a coastal lap round an atoll, all lagoons, channels and low shore lined with palms. You race on a track drawn from Kiribati's coastline, starting at Saint Stanislas Bay, passing Vaskess Bay, threading the Riteti and Bati channels, curving round Kellums and Manulu lagoons to Tabwakea Village, then out to North East Point, Artemia Corner and South East Point. Eleven corners, 4.9 km.
The Grand Prix of Kiribati rolls gently, with 23 metres of climb, and suits a driver who likes long flat-out runs.

Screenshots from the Kiribati circuit
Around the Kiribati track
A maneaba, the meeting house with its tall thatched roof, is the landmark, set by the atoll's lagoon. Outrigger canoes rest on the sand, coconut palms lean over the road, and thatched Pacific buildings sit among banana plants. Mopeds and pickups are parked behind the fences, the crowd waves flags, and the banner simply says Mauri. South Tarawa is printed on the boards, under a clear sky.

How to drive the Kiribati circuit
The 1,260-metre main straight is the lap's defining feature, ending at Saint Stanislas Bay, turn 1, the heaviest braking zone. The slowest corner is Tabwakea Village, turn 8, at 73 km/h. The rolling shoreline adds gentle rises and nothing more, so commit through the fast stuff.
