      I was pleasantly surprised by the race this year. Like, cheesiness of the showmanship aside, the racing itself was highly entertaining. Especially if you ignore Verstappen and focus on the rest of the grid.

    pretty awesome that it shows the underwater terrain beneath the atolls as well, and you’re right, they both look like awesome tracks to drive

      Yeah, the Bikini Atoll was a testing ground for nukes, but that’s not the reason they are strangely hollow outlines of islands.

      As far as I understand it, it’s because there were islands formed from underwater volcanic eruptions, but over time the inner islands sunk and eroded away and what makes up the island today are actually the surfaced parts of the once surrounding coral reef.
