Twenty-four corners in 3.7 km: Poland's lap is a busy one. This Poland racing game follows a track drawn from Poland's border, starting at Ełk in the north-east and heading south through Podlachian and Lublin to the Tatra Mountains, then west across Silesia and Wrocław to the Sudetes. It turns north at Szczecin and the Stettiner Haff and finishes along the Baltic coast at Koszalin and Gdynia.

The Polish Grand Prix is an old-town street race on flat ground, just 7 metres of climb, and it's raining.

Screenshots from the Poland circuit

Around the Poland track

Rain falls on the streets all lap, and Wawel Castle watches over the old town. The Palace of Culture rises on the skyline, and the Gdańsk crane stands by the water. The buildings are central European baroque, wheat fields run beyond the river, and trams share the streets with parked cars. A Witamy w Polsce banner hangs over the track, and the boards read Kraków, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Wisła and Tatry.

How to drive the Poland circuit

The main straight is short, 360 metres, ending at Ełk, turn 1. After that the corners come quickly, and the slowest is Stuposiany, turn 7, at 70 km/h in the far south-east. With so many turns on a wet, flat street, your braking points matter far more than top speed.
