Shanghai Circuit
 |
The ultra-modern Shanghai International Circuit was bankrolled by the Chinese government to the tune of $325 million and surpasses even Sepang in state-of-the-art splendour. The circuit itself was designed by German Hermann Tilke, who also penned Sepang and the Istanbul circuit. Most of Tilke's creations feature a combination of long straights and awkward compound corners; they tend to produce good racing, even if they might not get the riders' pulses racing in the manner of Assen or Phillip Island.
