Barriers on both sides, the whole way round. This Monaco racing game is a race track shaped like Monaco, squeezed into 3.5 km and lined with walls, and its ten corners carry the names you'd hope for: the climb to Casino, Mirabeau, the Fairmont Hairpin, Portier, then through the tunnel to the Nouvelle Chicane, Tabac, Piscine, La Rascasse and Sainte Dévote.

The Monaco Grand Prix here is a hilly harbour street race with 42 metres of climb, laid out in the spirit of the real Monte Carlo street race.

Around the Monaco track

The Monte Carlo Casino is the centrepiece, sitting at the top of the climb from the harbour. Superyachts fill the marina below, and the Prince's Palace looks down from its rock. Mediterranean buildings press right up to the barriers, with Cadillacs and other cars parked in the streets. The banner says 'Bienvenue à Monaco', and the boards read Monte Carlo, La Condamine, Fontvieille, Portier and Sainte Dévote.

How to drive the Monaco circuit

The main straight runs 1,060 metres and climbs to Casino at turn 1. The Fairmont Hairpin, turn 3, is the slowest corner at 74 km/h. Then the road plunges down toward the sea, through the tunnel and into the harbour chicane. With walls everywhere, a tidy lap beats a brave one.
