Starting on the west coast of South Africa, heading straight for Cape Town Corner, the course begins it's gradual climb up the east coast, heading past around Mozambique Bend, back in towards the cresting right-hander Tanzania, climbing up hill to the hairpin at the end of Somalia Straight. This is the first of the corners to be careful on, as the corner gradually increases in severity, and at it's tightest, passes over a crest. Take it easy around here and you won't end up in the wall.
From here the course runs across the top of Africa, to the top of the hill in this area of the Eifel environment, reaching Cairo Corner, a loose left-hander that sends you onto level ground towards the slower sections through Libya and Tunisia. After passing through the chicane at Tunis, you start to pass around the Saharan Section, a long gradual left-hander that tightens as you reach Sierra Leone.
After the fast right-handed Lagos Corner, the course runs quickly downhill, with the Angola Chicane to be wary of and not carry too much speed into. From this point on, the course carries on downhill to the home straight.
It's a long track with a few surprises for the over-ambitious, but it's a fun track for long races in GT300 and GT500's, LMP's, 4WD's, and rally cars.
