It is the newest and best one among the Asia’s six A -level tracks (including four tracks in Japan and one in Indonesia) at present. The track of the Zhuhai International Circuit is composed of four layers. The bottom layer, which is 15 centimeters thick, is made of detritus. The second and third layers are made of asphalt concrete. The top layer is made of bituminous pavement. All of the layers adopt the newest materials in the world with a high melting point. Therefore, they will not become sticky at high temperatures. The whole length of the track is 4.32 kilometers. The track width is 12 meters for straight sections and 14 meters for the rest sections. There are 16 turns designed in a clockwise direction, of which 5 are left turns. The highest speed on this track reaches 300 kilometers per hour.
