    Chinese F1 Grand Prix

    Circuit Information Page

    Location Shanghai, China

    Shanghai will host the China Grand Prix, the country's first-ever F1 event,
    on September 26 2004.
    Lap Distance 5.451km - Laps 56 - Race Distance 305.256km

    Covering an area of 5.3 square kilometers and featuring 14 punishing turns (including seven left-hand and seven right-hand turns, which will offer participants a tremendous challenge), the automobile theme park will be divided into a racing area and associated facilities, covering 2.5 and 2.8 square kilometres respectively.
    The 5.451-kilometre racing track is shaped like the Chinese character "shang, " as in "Speeding with Shanghai, " according to the blueprint designed by the German firm Tilke Engineering & Architecture. The stadium has 50,000 fixed seats and can accommodate up to 200,000 people, about 1 percent of the population of greater Shanghai.
    According to a computer simulation, it will take about one minute and 34 seconds for a Formula One car to run a lap, with average speeds running close to 205 km/h, which makes the Shanghai International Circuit one of the longest lap raceways in the world. The longest beeline section of track is designed between the 13th and the 14th turns. On this 1.2-kilometer-long raceway, cars will travel at full speed, reaching maximums of 327 km/h.
    The new Shanghai International Circuit will not only give participants a new passion for competition, but will also provide spectators with a great race and an intense spectacle.


    I look forward to hearing from you,
    Kevin May
