AsiaRooms.com - Head to Shanghai for the Chinese Grand Prix
The race is set to take place from April 15th to 17th.

SHANGHAI, CHINA, April 07, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The 2011 Formula One (F1) Chinese Grand Prix is scheduled to get underway in Shanghai in just two weeks' time.

Shanghai's 5.4 km International Circuit plays host to the race from April 15th to 17th.

It was designed by architects Peter Wahl and Hermann Tilke to represent the Chinese character 'shang', meaning high or above.

Other traditional imagery can be found throughout the venue, including the team buildings, which are arranged like pavilions in a lake. This has been done to resemble Shanghai's ancient Yuyan Garden.

F1 legend and seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher set the current lap record at Shanghai - 1:32.238 - back in 2004.

Some 29,000 seats are on offer in the Main Grandstand, affording views of almost 80 per cent of the track. Passes for this seating area cost between GBP206.82 and GBP341.99 per person for the full three days.

The cheapest tickets for the whole weekend start at GBP80.51 each.

Motorsport fans looking for accommodation close to the circuit can head to AsiaRooms.com and browse a wide and varied selection of Shanghai hotels.

One example, the Salvo Hotel Shanghai, is located in the heart of the central business district and is approximately half an hour's drive from the circuit.
