Sigiriya Lion Rock above, tea terraces below. The Sri Lanka racing game turns the island into a track drawn from Sri Lanka's coastline: from Dondra Head at the southern tip up the west to Puttalama and the Gulf of Mannar, round Jaffna and Kilinŏchchi in the north, across the Palk Strait and Yāpanaya, then down the east past Trincomalee to Maḍakalapuva.
The Sri Lankan Grand Prix is a hilly river-jungle lap with 44 metres of climb over 4.3 km.

Around the Sri Lanka track
Sigiriya Lion Rock rises out of the jungle, the landmark of the lap. A white stupa stands by the road, and tea terraces climb the hills with a pickers' hut among the rows. South Asian buildings line the town. Tuk-tuks and buses are parked by the fences, the banner greets in Sinhala and Tamil, and the boards name Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Jaffna and Sigiriya.
