    Which other series raced in Chengdu

    Does anyone have any idea as what type of the track Chengdu is or what kind of racing goes on there?

    I saw TV coverage of Formula BMW racing there last year. It is a permanent facility but is thousands of kilometres from any other active racing facility and as a result the concept of motorsport is absolutely new there. I was surprised when Chengdu was announced as a venue, it looked like a fairly small track and in places does not have a lot of runoff. It will be bumpy, and very dusty from lack of use. I can't imagine any sponsors or corporate guests there and I can only imagine the Chinese Government are paying A1GP to race there in order to show the world that Sichuan is still alive and well after the earthquake in May.
