Zhuhai International Circuit, motorsport track in China
Zhuhai International Circuit is a motorsport racing track in Tangjiawan designed for competitive racing events. The facility features multiple curves and straightaways configured for different types of racing competitions and driver training.
Motorsport began in Zhuhai with street races in 1993; the permanent circuit, designed by Australian firm Kinhill Engineers with Michael McDonough as project manager, opened in November 1996 as China's first permanent motor racing track. It hosted the BPR Global GT Series that year and the new FIA GT Championship in 1997. Listed in the provisional 1999 Formula One calendar, it lost the date in December 1998 and was fully renovated in 2004.
The circuit sits in Tangjiawan, with the Tangjiawan station of the Guangzhou-Zhuhai intercity railway next to the west grandstand, within walking distance. Public buses also serve the site. Since 2004 a kart track and the ZIC kart club have operated behind the main grandstand. Residents nearby have raised noise complaints, and a relocation of the circuit has been studied.
