Red sand and open sky: this Namibia racing game is almost dead flat, with 5 metres of climb in 4.3 km. It's a track drawn from Namibia's border, nine corners in all. Kavango ends the main straight, then the lap heads south through Leeudrink and Omaheke to the Groot Karasberge and Karas, reaches the coast at Oranjemund, and runs up through the Namib Desert and Kaokoland to Kunene.
The Namibian Grand Prix is an open-dune desert layout.

Screenshots from the Namibia circuit
Around the Namibia track
Sossusvlei's red dunes rise around the lap, and the pale clay pan of Deadvlei, with its dead trees, sits among them. The Christuskirche appears in the scenery, and quiver trees stand on the rocky ground. Village buildings are scattered along the way. Land Cruisers and pickups wait by the fences. The banner reads 'Welkom · Welcome', and the boards name Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Etosha and the Namib.

How to drive the Namibia circuit
Eight hundred and thirty metres of straight end at Kavango, turn 1, the obvious place to pass. Karas, turn 5, is the slowest at 85 km/h, in the far south of the lap. With so little elevation it's a lap of long, fast runs and clean braking.
