The main straight here runs for 1,610 metres, by far the longest stretch on the lap. This New Caledonia racing game follows a cliff road on a track drawn from New Caledonia's coastline: Malabou at the top of the island, Baie Banaré, then Pouaalla and Nékaoun, down past Port Mackau to the south, round Pointe de l'Abattoir and the Baie de la Mine aux Anglais to Nouméa, and back via Tindu, the Baie Inaccessible and the Baie de Nawa.
The Grand Prix of New Caledonia climbs 61 metres a lap.

Around the New Caledonia track
The Tjibaou Cultural Centre is the landmark, standing above the coast. A Kanak grande case, a tall thatched house, sits near the road, and columnar pines rise like spires along the shore. Dry savanna covers the land between thatched Pacific buildings. Pickups and cars are parked by the barriers. The banner reads 'Bienvenue en Nouvelle-Calédonie', and the boards name Nouméa.

How to drive the New Caledonia circuit
All 1,610 metres of the main straight end at Malabou, turn 1, and Baie Banaré follows at once as the slowest corner, at 73 km/h. Brake early for both. After that the cliff road climbs and drops through the hills, with long fast runs along the coast.
