Grey skies and tall pines set the mood for this Norfolk Island racing game. It's a track drawn from Norfolk Island's coastline, a hilly cliff road of 11 corners: Steels Point at turn 1, Collins Head, then Emily Bay and Sydney Bay below Kingston, Point Hunter and Cresswell Bay, round Point Ross and across to Anson Bay, Anson Point and Point Howe before the long straight.

The Grand Prix of Norfolk Island is 4.9 km long with 57 metres of climb.

Around the Norfolk Island track

Norfolk Island pines stand in tall, straight rows along the cliffs, and the old stone convict buildings at Kingston sit by the shore. A lighthouse looks out to sea. The houses are British-style terraces, and the sky stays overcast all lap, flattening the light on the water. Cars and utes are parked trackside. The banner reads 'Whataway · Welcome', and the boards name Kingston.
