It's a track drawn from Kosovo's outline, beginning at Podujevo, then Priština, Kosovska Kamenica and Gnjilane, south through Vitina and Kačanik to Dragaš and Popova Šapka, west by Prizren, Đakovica and Dečani to Peć, and back across Istok, Zubin Potok and Zvečan to Leposavić.

The Grand Prix of Kosovo has rolling hills and 33 metres of climb.

Around the Kosovo track

The Newborn monument and the Gračanica monastery are the landmarks in the scenery. An old Ottoman stone bridge and a minaret stand along the lap, and wheat fields cover the open ground between the woods. Mediterranean-style houses line the village sections, cars and Ladas are parked by the fences, and the crowd waves flags. The banner reads Mirë se vini, and the boards name Prizren, Peja, Gjakova and Sharr.

How to drive the Kosovo circuit

The main straight is 430 metres and ends at Podujevo, turn 1. The slowest corner, Kodra e Made at turn 7, is taken at 82 km/h, so there are no real hairpins to worry about. The challenge is the sheer number of corners, one after another over rolling ground.
