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.

Well, I googled it and found a picture after all... it looks like this...
