Introduction: The Shanghai International circuit, situated outside China\'s prosperous metropolitan port city, hosted its first MotoGP race in 2005, but is already acknowledged as one of the most impressive race venues on earth. Vast grandstands overlook an equally impressive pits and paddock complex adjacent to the high-speed 5.281km/3.281 mile circuit. The track includes two very fast straights where bikes exceed 320kmh/199mph and a series of tight corners, including two long right-handers that almost takes the riders through 360 degrees. Shanghai is one of the most modern and technologically advanced cities in the world, and now it has an impressive race circuit to match.
