Cliff road

Granite boulders, steep green hills and 17 corners. The Seychelles racing game takes a track drawn from the Seychelles' coastline, traced around Mahé, the main island: from Pointe La Rue and Au Cap, through Anse Royale and Takamaka, past Baie Lazare, Anse Boileau and Grand'Anse to Port Glaud, then on through Victoria and Cape Ternay to Beau Vallon, Glacis and Bel Air.

The Grand Prix of Seychelles is a hilly cliff road, 63 metres of climb over 4.9 km.

Around the Seychelles track

The granite boulders of Anse Source d'Argent line the shore, the landmark of the lap. The Victoria clock tower stands in town, coco de mer palms grow by the road, and banana plants fill the slopes. Pastel houses sit along the coast. Cars and minibuses are parked by the fences, and the banner reads Byenveni and Welcome. The boards along the barriers name Victoria and Seychelles.
