The Haitang Bay Circuit is a street circuit located in the Haitang Bay area of Sanya, in the Chinese island of Hainan. It is used for the Sanya ePrix of the single-seater, electrically powered Formula E championship. It was first used on 23 March 2019 for the 2019 Sanya ePrix.[1]
Layout[]
The track is 2.236 km (1.389 mi) in length and features 11 turns. Prior to the inaugural race, it was decided to treat the track surface with a resin-type material, in a bid to prevent a repeat of the previous round in Santiago, which saw the track break up during the race due to the high temperatures.[2]
