The race track was constructed
in 18 months on swamp lands in the Jiading District, northwest from the city center.
The 5.5 km long track has a distinct shape after
the Chinese character
shang, meaning up or above.
In 2004 the race drew more than 250.000 spectators, despite hefty ticketprices,
but since then the attendance has dropped significantly.

Michael Schumacher win the race.
As of 2016 Michael still holds the record for the fastest lap with an average of 327 kph.
