Sakhalin is a long island in Russia's far east, and it has its own circuit here, separate from the Russia track. This Sakhalin racing game follows a track drawn from Sakhalin's coastline: from the Gulf of Sakhalin it runs to Okha in the north, down past Gora Pil’vo and Poronaysk, through Yuzhno Sakhalinsk to Korsakov in the south, and finishes at Gora Slonimskaya.

The Sakhalin Grand Prix is a rolling coastal lap along sea cliffs, 32 metres of climb over 4.9 km, modelled on the cliffs out at Cape Aniva.

Around the Sakhalin track

The Cape Aniva lighthouse stands out on its rock at the end of the view. Sea stacks rise off the shore, fishing boats work the grey water, and an Orthodox church sits among the Soviet blocks in town. The sky stays overcast all lap. Ladas, Land Cruisers and cars are parked by the fences, the banner reads Добро пожаловать, and the boards name Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Korsakov, Kholmsk, Aniva and Nevelsk.

How to drive the Sakhalin circuit

A 1,820-metre straight leads into the Gulf of Sakhalin, turn 1, a long run with a hard stop at the end. The slowest corner, at 62 km/h, is turn 4, named Sakhalin, just after the northern section. There are ten corners in all, and the rolling cliffs keep the car moving under you.
