Montserrat is small, and this Montserrat racing game makes the most of it with a hilly downtown street lap. The track is drawn from Montserrat's coastline: a long straight up to Silver Hill at turn 1, Hell's Gate straight after, then Saint Peter, Spanish Point and Saint Georges, round Long Point and Landing Bay, and Saint Anthony to finish. Eight corners in 4 km leaves plenty of room to run.
The Grand Prix of Montserrat climbs 40 metres a lap through its streets.

Screenshots from the Montserrat circuit
Around the Montserrat track
The Soufrière Hills volcano looms over the lap, and below it lies Plymouth, the buried town. A shamrock-shaped signpost nods to the island's nickname, the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean, and a Caribbean church stands among pastel-painted houses. Banana plants grow on the dark volcanic slopes. Pickups and cars are parked by the kerbs. The banner says 'Welcome to Montserrat', and the boards name Little Bay, Brades and Plymouth.
