Zhuhai International Circuit

The Zhuhai International Circuit (ZIC) is a 14-turn, FIA Grade 2 race track located in Zhuhai, in the middle of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macau Greater Bay Area, one of the world's most densely populated areas and the wealthiest region in the South China sea. ZIC was opened in 1996, being the first purpose-built, permanent raceway in China. The firm in charge of its design and construction was the Australian Kinhill Engineers Pty Ltd, with the engineer Michael McDonough as the project manager. Some motorsport series running at ZIC include the Asian Le Mans Series, the Formula V6 Asia, and the FIM Endurance World Championship.

The Zhuhai International Circuit starts from the front straight in the clockwise direction. The first braking sector comes right in the first corner, a 90-degree turn combining with another turn to form a multi-apex vertex. A sweeping corner number three leads into the 90-degree turn four, and from there, a short acceleration sector starts. Turn seven is the sharpest of ZIC, forcing drivers to downshift and recover as quickly as possible to leverage the straight segment that comes next. A combination of tight left-handers lowers speed once again to about 60 km/h (37 mph). The straight between corners ten and eleven is a perfect spot for overtaking and getting a head start in the last stretch of the raceway. The corners number 12, 13, and 14 allow racers to develop high speed to face the front straight at 200 km/h (124 mph).
