02Overview

What Zhuhai International Circuit is like to drive.

The full circuit layout at Zhuhai International Circuit is 2.68 miles with 10 corners worth setting up for. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 9 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 60% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 1460 ft.

6 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 2 are fast (over 75 mph). There are hairpins where exit speed matters more than entry. The corner notes below come from the mapped geometry, not from local knowledge; we’ll add a researched guide for Zhuhai International Circuit later.

Model speed (generic track-day car)

The speed trace is a model, not a real lap: a generic track-day car (about 1.1 g of cornering grip, 1 g braking, 150 W/kg) driven on the computed line through an assumed 12 m wide track. Use it to see where the braking zones and flat-out sections are, not to predict your speeds. Elevation data for this track isn’t loaded yet.

04Corner by corner

The corners at Zhuhai International Circuit.

TRACK’s own corner numbering (C1, C2…), found from the curvature of the mapped centerline. It isn’t the official turn numbering. Each diagram shows the computed line: the minimum-curvature path through an assumed 12 m wide track. It’s a geometric starting point. Your instructor’s line comes first.

    Slow right-hander

    ↱ RightslowhairpinTRACK numbering

    A slow right-hand hairpin that turns about 139°, tightening to a radius of roughly 15 m (49 ft). The model car brakes for about 180 m (591 ft), from 132 to 47 mph. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes an apex close to the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

FAQ

Zhuhai International Circuit, answered.

How long is Zhuhai International Circuit?

The mapped centerline of Zhuhai International Circuit is 2.68 mi (4.31 km) in OpenStreetMap. Published lengths are measured differently, so small differences are normal.

Which direction does Zhuhai International Circuit run?

The main mapped layout runs clockwise, from one-way tagging in OpenStreetMap. Check the event’s driver briefing: some venues run reverse-direction days.

Can I time laps at Zhuhai International Circuit with my phone?

Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Zhuhai International Circuit and the layout you’re driving from GPS, then times laps and sectors. A phone’s GPS is good for lap times; an external 10–25 Hz receiver tightens sector splits.

Where is the start/finish line at Zhuhai International Circuit?

TRACK estimates the line from the mapped geometry (usually beside the pit lane, or on the longest straight). It isn’t verified on site, so the app asks you to confirm or move it before timing your first session here.

How do I find track days at Zhuhai International Circuit?

Clubs and organizers list HPDE, track days and club races on MotorsportReg. The venue’s own calendar (also linked) lists its events too. TRACK doesn’t list events itself.

Where can I stay near Zhuhai International Circuit?

This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Zhuhai International Circuit from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
