The '''Shanghai International Circuit''' ({{zh|s=上海国际赛车场 |t=上海國際賽車場 |p=Shànghǎi Guójì Sàichēchǎng}}), also called the '''SAIC Shanghai International Circuit''' ({{zh|s=上海上汽国际赛车场 |t=上海上汽國際賽車場 |p=Shànghǎi Shàngqì Guójì Sàichēchǎng}}) for sponsorship purposes, is a [[motorsport]] [[race track]], situated in the [[Jiading District]], [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. The circuit is best known as the venue for the annual [[Chinese Grand Prix]] which was hosted from 2004 to 2019, and from 2024 onwards. Besides Chinese Grand Prix, the circuit also hosts [[Shanghai ePrix]] starting from 2024.

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.

As a nationally recognized 4A-rated tourist attraction, the circuit features tourism, shopping, dining, entertainment, and sports.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Shanghai International Circuit |url=https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-ScenicSpots/20240604/982f7320d1b542469c6ae795016f8933.html |access-date=2024-08-05 |website=english.shanghai.gov.cn}}</ref>

==History==
Shanghai International Circuit was conceived by the Shanghai authorities as a way to showcase the city to the world. A 5.3 sq km site was chosen in the Jiading District in the north west of the city, close to major car parts manufacturing facilities and a budget of 2.6 billion yuan ($450 million) raised through a government-funded joint-venture company, the [[Shanghai Jiushi Group]].

[[Herman Tilke]] was chosen to design the track and associated buildings, and between April and May 2003, engineers visited the site to draw up their plans. The site was actually a swampland, previously used as rice paddy fields, and extensive groundworks had to be completed to construct the circuit. For 18 months some 3,000 workers were on site daily to complete the facility – a remarkable feat of both engineering and logistics.

When it opened, visitors found a vast complex, dominated by the main grandstand and pit complex, which featured wing-like viewing platforms crossing the circuit at either end. This can hold 30,000 spectators alone, and others around the circuit take the total capacity to 200,000. Paddock facilities were also unique – each of the F1 teams had its own building, arranged like pavilions in a lake to resemble the ancient [[Yu Garden]] in Shanghai.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.racingcircuits.info/asia/china/shanghai-international-circuit.html#.XATcfZUUnFs|title=Shanghai International Circuit|website=RacingCircuits.info|access-date=December 3, 2018}}</ref>

The Shanghai International Circuit is the first in China to be purpose-built for Formula One and it hosts FIA [[Formula One]] World Championship [[Chinese Grand Prix]] every year since [[2004 Chinese Grand Prix|2004]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2018/China.html#circuit|title=China|website=Formula1.com|access-date=December 3, 2018}}</ref> The circuit also held a number of global high-profile series, including the [[FIA World Endurance Championship]] and the [[GT World Challenge Asia]].

In the past, the circuit has hosted the [[MotoGP]] world championship, and a one-off [[V8 Supercars China Round]] of the Australian-based [[V8 Supercar]] championship in [[2005 V8 Supercar Championship Series|2005]], and also the final round of the [[A1 Grand Prix]] in [[2006-07 A1 Grand Prix season|2006/2007]].

In 2011, the Shanghai International Circuit signed a sponsorship deal with [[Audi AG|Audi]] and was subsequently named the '''Shanghai Audi International Circuit''' and the '''SAIC International Circuit''' following a deal with [[SAIC Motor]].

==Layout==
[[File:Shanghai International Circuit, April 7, 2018 SkySat (rotated).jpg|thumb|left|Satellite image of the circuit, as it appeared in April 2018]]
The track layout was inspired from the Chinese character {{zht|tr=shang|c=[[wikt:上|上]]}}, the first character in the name of the city [[Shanghai]], meaning "above" or "ascend".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/pressreleases/f1releases/2009/Pages/f1_preview_chn.aspx|title=Chinese Grand Prix Preview|date=April 13, 2009|publisher=Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|access-date=April 16, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417005806/http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/pressreleases/f1releases/2009/Pages/f1_preview_chn.aspx|archive-date=April 17, 2009}}</ref>

There’s a unique start to the lap as the drivers fly into the ever-tightening Turns 1 and 2, before they dart left through 3 and 4. The super-high g force Turns 7 and 8 are loved by the drivers, while the circuit also features one of the longest straights on the calendar, the {{cvt|1.2|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} stretch that separates turns 13 and 14.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2018/China.html#circuit|title=China|website=Formula1.com |access-date=December 3, 2018}}</ref>

==A lap in a Formula One car==

The first two bends make a {{cvt|185|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} right-hand curve which leads immediately into turns 3 and 4 taken at {{cvt|105|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. One and two are far more difficult – a lift on entry followed by various taps of the throttle and brakes are needed so the car maintains balance throughout. It also becomes blind towards the middle of the corner.<ref name="pom">{{cite web|title=Shanghai International Circuit guide|url=http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/shanghai_2012.jpg|publisher=F1 Fanatic|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181216031522/https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/shanghai_2012.jpg|archive-date=December 16, 2018|access-date=December 21, 2012}}</ref> Three and four are less complicated, with three being a simple hairpin, but a good exit is needed from four to gain speed down the following straight and through turn 5. The complex of turns 1–4 makes up the first of two "snails" on the circuit, the other being turns 11–13.<ref>{{cite web|author1=RedBull.com|title=Circuit Guide: Shanghai International Circuit|url=http://www.redbull.com/us/en/motorsports/f1/stories/1331574499038/circuit-guide-shanghai-international-circuit|website=Red Bull Motorsports|access-date=October 31, 2015|date=May 4, 2012}}</ref> Turn 6 is a second gear, right-handed hairpin with plentiful run-off. Turns 7 and 8 make up a high speed chicane – the left-right complex sees a constant [[G-force]] of 3<ref name=pom/> and a minimum speed of about {{cvt|160|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. Turns 9 and 10 immediately follow – two slow left-handers which require a good exit to gain speed down the next straight. Turns 11 and 12 effectively make up a slow left-right chicane where the use of kerbs are important but traction is low. Turn 13 is a very long right-hander which becomes less and less tight, and a very good exit is important as [[drag reduction system|DRS]] is available down the following straight. At {{cvt|1.170|km|mi|abbr=on}}, it is the equivalent to 11 football pitches laid end to end, or the same length as three and a half of the world's biggest aircraft carriers<ref>{{cite web|title=Straight-line power – the engine in Shanghai|url=http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2011/4/11939.html|publisher=Formula1.com|access-date=December 21, 2012}}</ref> Turn 14 is a hairpin at the end of the straight – the second gear corner is a prime overtaking spot as [[drag reduction system|DRS]] is available in the run up to the corner. Turn 16 is the last corner – a fourth-gear<ref name=pom/> left-hander which requires a quick tap on the brakes – braking early can be more effective as you can then carry more speed through the corner and then down the pit straight.
