Hardly anything slows you down in the Libya racing game. Eight corners are spread over 4.6 km of open dunes, and even the slowest is taken at 134 km/h. This is a race track shaped like Libya: from Al Kufrah in the south-east it heads west through Murzuq and Jabal bin Ghunaymah to the Tassili-n-Ajjer, up to An Nuqat al Khams on the coast, then east by the Gulf of Sidra to the Libyan Plateau.
The Libyan Grand Prix is flat, just 9 metres of climb, with clear skies over the sand.

Screenshots from the Libya circuit
Around the Libya track
The Arch of Marcus Aurelius and the ruins of Leptis Magna stand at the edge of the dunes, Roman stone against the sand. Mud houses in the Ghadames style cluster in the town, date palms mark the oases, and open dunes roll away in every direction. Land Cruisers and pickups are parked along the fences, flags fly in the crowd, and the banner reads أهلاً وسهلاً. The boards name Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrata, Sabha and Cyrene.
