Mist drifts over this Micronesia racing game, and 59 metres of climb keep the lap busy. The track is drawn from Micronesia's coastline around Pohnpei, with 18 corners named after the island's villages and capes: Pohnseiuh at turn 1, Pohn Uhs and Nanwei, Palikir at turn 6, then Tomwara, Soledi, Mwalok and Dolen Paret on the way round to Ponarakku Cape.

The Grand Prix of Micronesia is a hilly marina layout, 4.3 km long.

Around the Micronesia track

Nan Madol's dark stone walls rise from the water, the big landmark of the lap. Discs of stone money stand by the road, and thatched houses sit among the banana plants. The mist softens the hills and the marina alike, so the far side of the bay fades out. Pickups and mopeds are parked trackside. The banner greets you with 'Kaselehlia', and the boards read Palikir.
