Now this great, ineteresting and modern race track is forgotten by World cups. Probably because of difficuilt transportation to Ordos. ;(

Feelings abot Ordos track: it’s a modern built raceway, combine elements from 00’th raceways, such as Barcelona or Okayama. First corner is a prototype of future Shanghai Gran-Prix raceway in Jiading.
