Saipan supplies the shape for this Northern Mariana Islands racing game. It's a track drawn from the Northern Mariana Islands' coastline around that island: Garapan Boat Channel at turn 1, then Capitol Hill and Lagunan Tanapag, up to Puntan I Maddock at the northern end, round Puntan Bapot and down the east side past Unai Laolao and Unai Dandan to the Naftan Peninsula and the Saipan Channel.
The Grand Prix of Northern Mariana Islands is a woodland park layout and almost flat, with 4 metres of climb over 4.3 km.

Screenshots from the Northern Mariana Islands circuit
Around the Northern Mariana Islands track
Banzai Cliff rises over the sea, and latte stones, the old stone pillars with cup-shaped caps, stand by the road. A Japanese lighthouse and a Spanish church sit in the scenery, and the woodland park is thick with banana plants around thatched Pacific houses. Pickups and SUVs are parked trackside. The banner greets you with 'Håfa adai · Tirow', and the boards read Saipan.

How to drive the Northern Mariana Islands circuit
The 770-metre straight finishes at the Garapan Boat Channel, turn 1. The lap is close to flat, so it's all about braking points and exits. Naftan Peninsula, turn 9, is the slowest at 80 km/h, and a good exit there carries you through the Saipan Channel and onto the straight.
