Shanghai Tianma Circuit, which was established with a sponsorship from the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), has probably already peaked as far as international racing is concerned thanks to its one-off WTCC round. The track itself also boasts well-appointed VIP rooms, a grandstand with views of the whole circuit, a media center, multifunctional hall, club, restaurants, barbecue facilities, gym, and so forth.
An open day occurs every month for amateurs to temper their driving and racing skills, a fitting activity for a city that is often associated with fast-paced living.
Address: 3000 Shenzhuan Highway, Sheshan of Songjiang district, Shanghai, China. It can be found at the junction of the G1501 motorway and Shenzhuan Highway. Hongqiao International Airport is around 15 minutes away by car from the circuit.
