Newfoundland is one island of Canada, and this Newfoundland racing game gives it a circuit of its own, separate from the Canada track. The lap is drawn from Newfoundland's coastline: St. Anthony at the northern tip, down the north-east coast through Baie Verte, La Scie and Gander, round to Trepassey and Argentia in the south, then Wolf Head and Big Head before the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the long run home.
The Newfoundland Grand Prix is a hilly fjord road, winding through country like Gros Morne's, with 55 metres of climb and mist over the water.

Around the Newfoundland track
Cape Spear Lighthouse, on the most easterly point of North America, is the lap's landmark. Icebergs drift offshore, fishing boats sit in the coves, and rows of brightly painted jellybean houses line the streets. Steep fjord walls drop to the water, and the mist hangs low over all of it. Pickups, SUVs and cars are parked trackside. The banner says 'Welcome to Newfoundland', and the boards name St. John's, Gander, Corner Brook, Gros Morne and Twillingate.

How to drive the Newfoundland circuit
The 1,220-metre straight ends at St. Anthony, turn 1, with plenty of room to set up a pass. The fjord road then rises and falls through 55 metres of climb. Wolf Head, turn 12, is the slowest corner at 69 km/h, and in the mist it's easy to arrive too fast.
