Rain falls on this Malawi racing game, and it suits a lap that spends so long beside the water. It's a track drawn from Malawi's border. From Mangochi the lap heads south through Mulanje and Chiromo to Nsanje, turns north along the western side via Dedza, Mchinji, Kasungu and Mzimba, reaches Chitipa and Karonga at the top, then runs down the lake shore through Nkhata Bay to Salima.
The Grand Prix of Malawi is a riverfront layout and nearly flat, with 8 metres of climb in 4.3 km.

Screenshots from the Malawi circuit
Around the Malawi track
Lake Malawi fills the view on one side, with fishing boats out on the water and the Livingstonia church standing above the shore. Tea terraces step up the hills, a baobab stands on its own, and the buildings trackside are village houses. Minibuses and bicycles wait behind the fences. Rain keeps falling through the lap. The banner says 'Takulandirani', and the boards read Lilongwe.

How to drive the Malawi circuit
With a main straight of only 330 metres, Mangochi at turn 1 comes up quickly. Three corners later you reach Nsanje, the slowest on the lap at 76 km/h, down in the far south. In the rain, give yourself a margin on the brakes and be patient with the throttle.
