F1 Karting in Jiading

Shanghai International Circuit 上海国际赛车场

For the full, immersive experience, Shanghai International Circuit in Jiading is the obvious destination. This massive, iconic complex is hallowed ground for F1 history. Since its first Grand Prix, the track's sweeping "Shanghai" corner and huge main straight have seen legendary battles.

The venue still feels like a temple of speed even when Verstappen and Hamilton are not racing. Snap a photo at the main gate, imagine the grandstand cheers, and take in the scale of a real F1 venue. An on-site karting track is usually open, offering a taste of wheel-to-wheel action on a smaller scale.

It is the closest you will get without a Grand Prix ticket. Yes, reaching the outskirts is a journey, but that is part of the pilgrimage. Go for the iconic views and the chance to stand at the venue where champions race.

Address: 2000 Yining Road, Jiading District, Shanghai
