Tracks

Albert Park, Australia:
Australia carThis fun course is set next to Albert Park Lake, where you can see people enjoying themselves (assuming you want to take your eyes off the road). Part of Melbourne’s scenic skyline will also be visible.
  Nevers Magny-Cours, France:
France Another course with its share of tight corners and wide-open straight-aways.
 
Interlagos, Brazil:
Brazil While most F1 courses are driven clockwise, you race around Interlagos counter-clockwise. You’ll run into many tight corners in the lower part of the course.
  A-1 Ring, Austria:
Austria Built on a hillside, this course features seven corners, the fewest of any of the tracks in the game.
 
Imola, San Marino:
San Marino Another counter-clockwise course, Imola features a nasty blind corner at turn six.
  Hockenheim, Germany:
Germany This scenic course is surrounded by trees and is considered one of the fastest in the F1 circuit.
 
Silverstone, Great Britain:
Great Britain This course was built on an airport site and offers moderate difficulty.
  Hungaroring, Hungary:
Hungary carYou’ll find that traffic backs up around the starting grid on this track, so try and qualify for one of the front spots and get away from the mess as soon as the race starts.
 
Catalunya, Spain:
Spain Watch out for the “J” turns on this course, where you’ll have to slow down significantly to navigate their tight corners. You’ll pick up time on the long, wide-open straight-away near the pit area.
  Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium:
Belgium Another course set among the trees, you’ll find the first corner on this one tough to navigate, so it helps to be at the front of the pack from the start of the race.
 
Nurburgring, Europe:
Europe carThis course is full of hills and tight corners that will wear down your tires and may result in more pit stops than usual.
  Monza, Italy:
Italy This historic track is right up there with Hockenheim among the fastest in the F1 circuit.
 
Monaco, Monte Carlo:
Monaco This street course winds through the city and provides very little room for passing other cars. As a result, there’s also very little room for disabled cars to pull over, so pay close attention when your pit crew leader tells you who has crashed or blown their engine.
  Indianapolis, U.S.A.:
U.S.A. Home of the famous Indy 500, this is a simple but challenging track.
 
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Canada:
Canada Built on an island, this course offers both tight corners and wide-open straight-aways.
  Suzuka, Japan:
Japan This figure-eight track is home to both motorcycle and auto racing. It’s known for the ferris wheel that sits behind the stands near the pit area.
 
Sepang, Malaysia:
Malaysia This course was completed in time for the 1999 F1 season. It’s a wide track with a lot of room for passing.
