A1GP will make its first of two visits of the season to China at the Zhuhai International Circuit.
Zhuhai is situated on the south coast of the country, which borders the special administrative region of Macau, which is a short ferry ride from Hong Kong.
Zhuhai is a garden-like seaside tourist city, where flowers blossom all-year round. In 1999, it was granted an international award for best practices in improving the living environment by United Nations Centre for Human Settlement.
The circuit itself features lots of potential for overtaking with two straights of 900 and 500m in length. The pit straight is 14 metres wide at its widest, which should allow plenty of room for wheel-to-wheel A1GP action.
The second A1GP race of the season to take place in China will be held in April 2008 in Shanghai. |
