Shanghai International Circuit (Shanghai)

 Formula One, car racing track

The Shanghai International Circuit (上海国际赛道) is a brand-new motor racing venue, situated in the district of Jiading near Shanghai in the People's Republic of China. It was the venue of the inaugural Formula One Chinese Grand Prix on 26 September 2004. Costing approximately $450 million (USD), the circuit was financed by a government-funded joint-venture company, comprised of the Shanghai Juishi Corporation, Shanghai National Property Management Co Ltd, and Shanghai Jia'an Investment and Development Co Ltd. Architectural and design experts began planning and visiting the site between April and May 2003, and the area was transformed from swampland to international racetrack within 18 months with a team of 3000 engineers working around the clock.

In common with many other new Formula One circuits, it was designed by Hermann Tilke, and also features his trademark track feature - a long back straight followed by a hairpin turn. One lap lasts 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometres). The whole circuit plus seating areas and other areas for spectators, covers a total area of 5.3 km².

It is also the site of Michael Schumacher's last F1 victory (a record 91 wins) in 2006.
