Zhejiang International Circuit
Zhejiang International Circuit Anmerkungen:
The Zhejiang International Circuit is a 1.8-mile (3.2-km) raceway constructed in 2016 in Shaoxing, on a 2-hour and a half trip from Shanghai, China. The engineering firm in charge of design and construction was Apex Circuit Design, a multidisciplinary group specializing precisely in this type of motorsports facility. The Zhejiang track flows on top of the natural terrain, snaking through elevation changes on a trajectory with variable camber. The humid subtropical climate of Hangzhou Bay averages 120 rainy days a year, with hot summers and freezing winters, so it is possible to experience almost any atmospheric condition for racing at Zhejiang.
There are 16 corners in the highly technical counterclockwise main track of the Zhejiang International Circuit. The front straight is shorter and not as fast-paced as the back straight, which comes after two long sweeping turns where racers can get to 180 km/h (111 km/h). The first 12 corners of the circuit come in quick succession, forming the most challenging stretch of the track because of its frequent changes of direction and elevation. Visibility gets often restricted to some meters in front, as the elevation changes create plenty of blind spots along the road. The state-of-the-art landscaping and architecture of this FIA Grade 2 race track are a real treat to the eye, making visitors realize they are in a venue with a vibrant racing future in the years to come.
