The Shanghai International Circuit features over 10 top-tier domestic car racing events annually. It also boasts Shanghai’s only world-class outdoor go-karting track.

The vast complex, dominated by the main grandstand and pit complex, features wing-like viewing platforms crossing the circuit at either end which can hold 30,000 spectators alone, and others around the circuit take the total capacity to 200,000. The paddock facilities – each F1 team having its own building – are arranged like pavilions in a lake, reminiscent of the ancient Yu Garden in Shanghai.
