Sicily is an island of Italy, and it gets a circuit of its own apart from the Italian one. This Sicily racing game runs on a track drawn from Sicily's coastline: from Puzziteddu and Trapani in the west, it follows the north coast through Scopello, Mondello and Palermo to Messina and Milazzo, faces Reggio di Calabria across the Strait of Messina, then runs down the east past Catania and Siracusa to Ragusa and Caltanissetta.

The Sicily Grand Prix is a dramatic mountain lap with 96 metres of climb, styled on the roads of Mount Etna.

Screenshots from the Sicily circuit

Around the Sicily track

Mount Etna fills the skyline, and the road climbs its volcanic flanks before dropping past the Temple of Concordia. A Greek theatre sits on the hillside, a baroque church rises over the town, and olive groves cover the slopes. Cars and mopeds are parked by the fences, the banner reads Benvenuti, and the boards name Palermo, Catania, Etna, Taormina, Siracusa and Pergusa.

How to drive the Sicily circuit

The main straight runs 800 metres and ends at Puzziteddu, turn 1. The slowest corner is Reggio di Calabria, turn 11, at 69 km/h, on the north-east tip. The 96 metres of climb come on the volcano's slopes, so the east side of the lap is where the car works hardest.
