The Shanghai International Circuit was designed as the race circuit for the new millennium. Not only is the circuit well-known for its change of acceleration and deceleration within different winding turns, making high demands on the driver as well as the car, but also for its high-speed straights.
DRIVER SPOTLIGHT
Charles Leong
"It's great to be racing in Shanghai this weekend. It's an F1 track and is definitely a challenging one with a lot of fast corners. I'm really looking forward to giving it my all."
Raoul Hyman
“I'm looking forward to the race weekend here in Shanghai. Racing here will be a first for both the team and myself but we’re up for the challenge. The weather looks a bit temperamental with a few storms on the radar which should make for an interesting weekend! Keen to get started and come away with a few strong results!”
Jake Hughes
"I'm really looking forward to getting back in Dragon Hitech GP’s Asian F3 car at Shanghai this weekend. We had a very good first weekend winning all three races, so naturally the target is to maintain the high benchmark and continue the teams impressive start to the season."
