Welcome to Salone, says the banner. This Sierra Leone racing game is a race track shaped like Sierra Leone, 18 corners drawn from the country's border and coast: from Koidu and the Eastern province, through Gbama, Tafa and Bunti, across the Southern province past Mai and Bendu Wharf, then up the coast to Freetown and round through the north to finish at Kakaratamba.
The Grand Prix of Sierra Leone is a hilly cliff road, 55 metres of climb over 4.3 km.

Around the Sierra Leone track
The Cotton Tree stands at the centre of the view, with the Bunce Island fort out on the water. Fishing boats are pulled up below the cliffs, palm-oil plantations cover the hills, and modern African buildings line the town. Minibuses and mopeds are parked by the fences, and the crowd waves flags. The boards along the barriers read Freetown and Sierra Leone.
