Timor-Leste takes up the eastern half of the island of Timor, and this Timor-Leste racing game follows its edges. The track is drawn from Timor-Leste's border and coastline: from Cova Lima in the south-west up past Mount Malelik and Bobonaro, along the north coast through Liquica and Baucau to Lautém at the eastern tip, then back west along the south side to Viqueque.

It's the flattest kind of lap, with just 9 metres of climb through woodland.

Around the Timor-Leste track

The Cristo Rei of Dili stands over the lap, the one big landmark on this stretch of coast. Traditional Uma Lulik houses sit among the trees, and a Portuguese church appears further round. Banana plants grow thick between the woods, pickups and minibuses are parked at the fences, and the welcome banner reads Benvindu. The boards along the barriers keep it simple: Dili and Timor-Leste.

How to drive the Timor-Leste circuit

The 970-metre main straight ends at Cova Lima, turn 1, the obvious place to pass. Turn 4, Mount Mewak, is the slowest corner at 78 km/h, so the opening stretch decides a lot. With only 9 metres of climb the rest is flat and fast, and it rewards a tidy line through the woods.
