About This Event
Formula E's first race in Sanya since 2019 — a single-day event on the 2.236km anticlockwise street circuit at Haitang Bay, 24km from the city. The 11-corner layout combines public roads, including the Fengtang Road bridge, with purpose-built sections threading through resort hotel grounds in tropical heat and humidity.
What to Expect
Return to Hainan after seven-year absence since March 2019
Two long straights separated by hairpin in final two-thirds of lap
Placed within five-race Asian leg alongside Shanghai and Tokyo double-headers
Frequent low-speed corners demand precise energy recovery and power allocation throughout
Modified circuit layout replaces Turn 1/2 hairpin with 45-degree left-hander
Is This Event Right For You?
Best fit if you enjoy urban racing — Haitang Bay resort district 24km north of Sanya city, 2.2km anticlockwise layout with 11 corners, tight 90° and 180° turns, two long straights crossing Fengtang Road bridges.
Best fit if you value championship racing — Round 11 of 17-race Season 12, longest Formula E season ever, part of five-race Asian leg with Shanghai and Tokyo double-headers determining title contenders.
Best fit if you like beachside festival atmosphere — tropical Hainan Island "Florida of China" setting, luxury resort hotels line Haitang Bay circuit, combines electric open-wheel racing with resort destination vacation environment.
Not ideal if you prefer established race traditions — seven-year absence since 2019 debut means no established spectator infrastructure, track layout modifications possible between Turns 1-4, first-time event logistics rather than proven operations.
