SHANGHAI
Track length: 5.451
km
Number of laps: 56 (305.256 Km)
The first Chinese Grand
Prix is a long-awaited event that will finally happen in 2004 at the
Shanghai International Circuit, a completely new, innovative racing
complex.
The track combines a variety of fast and slow corners but will be very
quick over an entire lap. Computer simulations show an expected average
speed of around 200 km/h and a top speed of over 320 km/h. In total, the
track is made up of 14 corners and its longest straight is a 1175-metre
section linking turns 13 and 14, where F1 cars are expected to reach
speeds in excess of 320 km/h.
There is enough room around the circuit to host 200,000 spectators,
including more than 29,000 in the grandstand opposite the pits. This area
will allow the spectator to see up to 80% of the track, which is quite
remarkable.
