株洲国际赛车场

Zhuzhou International Circuit sits inside the Zhuzhou Automotive Expo Park in Tianyuan District, Hunan, covering about 750 mu. Designed by Chinese circuit designer Dr Yao Qiming to FIA Grade 2 standards, the main track runs 3.77 km. It was the first circuit in central-south China to receive FIA certification and the first in the country with a banked, near-oval layout combining maximum camber and elevation change, as well as the first to open deep driving experiences to the public. The facility combines circuit use with proving-ground testing, driver training and brand experience, and can host touring cars, one-make series, motorcycles and electric vehicle testing. For organisers, the circuit-plus-expo-park combination allows launches, test drives, training and racing in one site. It lies in Tianyuan District near the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau expressway and Zhuzhou West Railway Station, about an hour by car from Changsha Huanghua Airport. Zhuzhou was designed to be experienceable: the banked, near-oval layout gives ordinary drivers a clear sense of speed, so track days, driver training and electric vehicle testing take a large share of the calendar alongside races. The automotive expo park adds sales, tuning and club facilities, closing the loop from seeing a car to buying it and driving it on track, which most pure circuits cannot offer.
