Shanghai Audi International Circuit

A legendary circuit which has hosted F1 events since its inauguration in 2004. I attended the F1 weekend in 2025 and the event was well organized. ~ Grandstands: Most grandstands have a nice view especially the main grandstand (preferably upper section), grandstand B, and grandstand K. Be mindful of the shade as certain grandstands have no cover at all. ~ Access: You can rely on the train station. Yes, it will be congested after the race but it is considerably faster than the train system in other GPs, not to mention the ride takes an hour from city centre. ~ Fanzone: Plenty, including sessions with all the drivers.

Magnificent race track. I joined a tour around the circuit and the guy was a chilled guy. We visited the media room, race control room, podium stage, and winners waiting room. It’s a really fun experience as a f1 fan to see things up close. There’s also a big karting circuit next to it, recommended as well.

Shanghai International Circuit for F1 race event. Consider taking the metro - “Shanghai Circuit” subway station on Line 11 as traffic to the circuit is narrow (1 way in and out) and very congested during these large events.

tour was very nice and went to paddock, grandstands, briefing room etc. One thing missing is a track tour, like Daytona they should have trams that take you for a roundabout, but since they're resurfacing the track now maybe they will in the future. They also need to have an open merch store, and consistent schedules for tours and gokart track, which was supposed to open but never did. The AC was not on and inside it was sweltering and completely deserted with no resteraunt or anything open which is a missed opportunity. Overall it's a great and cheap way to see f1 track, but they need to capitalize on customer needs more.

The atmosphere during F1 in Shanghai was great. Transportation is super easy with train going from the racetrack, I would suggest taking the train and not Taxi. Not all taxis are allowed to drive to the racetrack during F1 race weekend. The Shanghai F1 tickets are also the cheapest on the entire calendar.

Very well built F1 track with huge grand stand and lots of facilities. If budget is a factor the best seats are at the K stand hairpin curve. I'd give it 5 stars if those were not occupied by the F1 race in Singapore.

Amazing place to enjoy the extreme speed of F1 racing car. You will have the most lively experience with the engine smoke smell, the noise and the wind. Enjoy the race!

The Shanghai international circuit is amazing. Everything is so streamlined, from checking in to finding your seats in the massive stadiums, to ordering your food. We had such an amazing time. Well done to the organizers.
