Niue is a single raised coral island, and this Niue racing game goes all the way round it. The track is drawn from Niue's coastline, with 13 corners named for its villages, beaches and points: Vili at the end of the straight, Hakupu and Vaiea, Avatele Beach, Pofitu and Avatele Bay, Halagigie Point, then Namoui, Makapu Point, Hikutivake and Fukau to bring you back.

The Grand Prix of Niue is a flat marina layout, 10 metres of climb in 4.3 km.

Around the Niue track

Coral cliffs line the coast, and the Talava Arches, stone bridges shaped by the sea, frame the water. Thatched fale sit under coconut palms, banana plants fill the gaps, and the marina is close by. Pickups and mopeds are parked by the barriers. The banner greets you with 'Fakaalofa lahi atu', and the boards read Alofi. The sky stays clear the whole way round.
