The Sanya Street Circuit is a street circuit located in the Haitang Bay area of Sanya, in the Chinese island of Hainan. It was used for the Sanya ePrix of the single-seater, electrically powered Formula E championship on 23 March 2019.[1]
Layout
The track was originally 2.236 km (1.389 mi) in length and featured 11 turns. Prior to the 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] The track returns to Formula E in 2026, with extended 2.520 km (1.566 mi) in length by featuring 12 turns.[3]
