    This is one of those tracks that I like in F1 cars, but driving it in any other type of car is just painful. I think I made it half a lap in a GT3 car one time before deciding to do something fun instead.

    That hairpin did used to have a straight exit but it was changed after (or maybe just before) the first race in 2004. A lot of cars were running over the exit kerb and tearing it up so they moved it back a couple feet.

    The exit of the hairpin thing, I guess is to fit the ascetic of the calligraphy of the Chinese character 上(Shang), the first character of 上海(Shang Hai), on which the whole track design is based.

    I love that first corner! It's tricky enough when you're on your own, but when you're battling with others it makes things very interesting. And that kink is not redundant; it takes the track where it needs to go.
    Of course, Lewis Hamilton might have something to say about the pit-lane entry...

      Honestly I hated that track until I actually drove it. Sure it's a tilkedrome, sure it's just a shell of once was a mighty and historically important track, sure the turn 2 hairpin may cause depression. But it's short sweet and to the point, so I like it.

    I would have hung up on the word Keynesian but coming from the Austrian school that shouldn't surprise anyone and I don't think China is Very fond of ABCT so they would have hung up on me at Austrian. ANYWHO the only road course corners I like are long sweeping ones that is why lime rock with no chicanes is my favorite road course. Simple, short (making it great for just a group of buddies or for leaders to battle through traffic in a large feild) fast, technical (that up hill is tough with no chicane, and I'm an oval guy Born in bread from four generations of excellence (excluding my grandfather's brief and shameful spell in road course racing resulting in things like a 2nd place in H class production at Road America in SCCA in the 50s) on track (and or illegally on the street but most of that wasn't ovals either).
