Somalia's lap is long, fast and simple. This Somalia racing game runs on a track drawn from Somalia's outline, with just eight corners: Jubbada Hoose in the south, Ceel Shaama and Gedo inland, Hiiraan and Nugaal further north, the Ogo Mountains, the cape at Gees Gwardafuy on the tip of the Horn of Africa, and the Banaadir Coast to finish.
The Somali Grand Prix is held on a modern purpose-built circuit, rolling with 25 metres of climb over 4 km.

Screenshots from the Somalia circuit
Around the Somalia track
A lighthouse stands over the coast at Mogadishu, and the rock shelters of Laas Geel sit inland. Camels wander by the dunes along the coast, and the buildings are set around Islamic courtyards. Land Cruisers and pickups are parked behind the fences. The banner reads Soo dhawoow, and the boards along the barriers read Mogadishu and Somalia.

The 1,680-metre main straight is the defining feature, ending at Jubbada Hoose, turn 1, with a big stop from full speed. The slowest corner is Gees Gwardafuy, turn 7, at 85 km/h. With only eight corners, a single mistake costs a lot, so hit your marks every lap.
