上海国际赛车场

Shanghai International Circuit opened in 2004 in Anting, Jiading District, designed by Hermann Tilke as China's first permanent circuit built to Formula 1 standards and the home of the Chinese Grand Prix. The 5.451 km layout with 16 corners is shaped like the Chinese character shang, combining a 1.2 km straight, the tightening spiral of turns one to three and fast flowing sections that reward both braking stability and downforce. The grandstand and paddock were built to F1 specification, with team garages, a media centre, medical centre and helipad, allowing the venue to stage F1, GT, touring car and motorcycle events as well as launches, test days and brand activations. Beyond F1 it regularly hosts the China Touring Car Championship, Asian Le Mans Series and Ferrari Challenge. The circuit is about 30 km from central Shanghai, with Metro Line 11 stopping at Shanghai Circuit station and the Jiading and Anting automotive districts nearby. Operationally, the circuit is more than a track: the paddock accommodates every team, the grandstands together seat tens of thousands, and the media and medical centres are built to FIA specification. Outside race weekends the same facilities convert to test days, track experiences and automotive culture events. For brands, the shang character layout and the history of the Chinese Grand Prix provide a visual symbol that audiences recognise immediately.
