2006 FORMULA 1 Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix - Shanghai - 29 Sep - 01 Oct
|
 The
Shanghai International Circuit was designed as the race circuit for the new
millennium. The modern track, with its stunning architecture, has been
planned as China's gateway to the world of Formula One racing.
Circuit architects Hermann Tilke and Peter Wahl on their creation: “The
5.4 kilometer racing track is shaped like the Chinese character 'shang',
which stands for 'high' or 'above'. Other symbols represented in the
architecture originate from Chinese history, such as the team buildings
arranged like pavilions in a lake to resemble the ancient Yuyan-Garden in
Shanghai. Here, nature and technology are carefully used to create harmony
between the elements.”
Not only will the course be remarkable for its change of acceleration and
deceleration in different winding turns, but also for its high-speed
straights making high demands on the driver as well as the car. This should
offer many opportunities for overtaking and give an intense and exciting
motor sport experience to the spectators. The Main Grandstand with 29,000
seats provides a spectacular view of almost 80 percent of the circuit – one
of the new features in race track design realized in Shanghai. |
