As is the nature of street circuits, the Hong Kong ePrix circuit will be a demanding race track to test drivers’ speed, talent and racing mettle. Two tight hairpins turns – one at Lung Wo Road and a second at the Star Ferry Pier – feature alongside a 555-metre main straight, a key opportunity for overtaking.
Designed by Rodrigo Nunes of R+S Project, the circuit runs clockwise and features a 555-metre main straight between Turns 1 and 2, which is the circuit’s best overtaking opportunities. Turns 2 through 9 showcase the technical challenges of the track with a variety of corners, including a chicane. The fastest part of the circuit is from Turn 9 to Turn 2, with an interesting left-hand corner on Turn 10.
