- Personal HOTLAP: 1.37.557 (***)
- Overall SCORE: 4/5
- Driving FEELINGS: it is a very challenging high-speed track. The longest straight is the start/finish straight which is 900 metres (0.56 mi) long and 14 metres wide at its widest. There are lots of overtaking places in the circuit because of the combination of straights, hard braking areas for hairpins, tight corners, followed by and accelerating for long straights.
- Turn 1: It is a high-speed right turn.
After the start, multiple cars will approach this turn at a very high speed at the same time;
- Turn 3: It is a high-speed right turn that tests the driver's courage and handling skills;
- Turn 4: It is a high-difficulty, heavy-braking, rapid left turn with an opportunity to overtake;
- Turns 9 and 10: It is a combination of two consecutive 90-degree left-turns.
- Turn 14: It is the corner where the car returns to the starting grid, and it is also the highest speed corner on the entire track.
- HISTORY (by racingcircuits.info)
Its origins lie in the wildly popular street races held in downtown Zhuhai City in the mid-1990s.
The opening up of parts of China, including the Zhuhai Special Economic Zone, to western-style market forces created a burgeoning middle class for whom motor racing was an attractive prospect. Malaysian businessman Stewart Tan Seng Teong saw the opportunity to bring a new form of racing to China, which at that stage had only the Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai rally and no circuit racing. Tan identified land in Jin Ding Town, Guangdong Province, and planning for a permanent circuit began in earnest, though it would be several years before construction would begin. To whet appetites, races were organised on the streets of downtown Zhuhai, starting in 1993.
Close proximity to Macau and Hong Kong also made for a more knowledgeable crowd than other parts of China, so it was no surprise that these early races attracted crowds of up to 200,000. It was a clear demonstration that there was a ready-made audience which could support a permanent facility, allowing China to show off its trade and investment opportunities to a global audience.
Designs for the new circuit were first shown at the 1993 street races and went through several iterations before the final layout was settled upon. Australian company Kinhill Engineers Pty Ltd - the same group which created the Formula One circuit in Adelaide - was brought in to draw up the plans and supervise the build. Construction was completed in November 1996, in time for the first international event, the final round of the BPR Global GT Series.
Minor changes to the circuit occurred at the end of the 1997 racing season, when the chicane section where the current Turn 7 hairpin now sits was removed following a request by the FIM.
A planned Formula One race at Zhuhai in 1999 got as far as the provisional calendar, only to be removed when the circuit could not meet standards set by FIA. Instead, the circuit's highest profile race was a round of the FIA GT Championships,
In 2004 track facilities were further upgraded with the assistance of Hermann Tilke, including the addition of a karting track. This prompted the return of the FIA GT Series, which enjoyed further outings between 2004 and 2007.
