Jean-Éric Vergne won the only Formula E race held in Sanya
China had hosted two ePrix before on the Beijing Olympic Green Circuit, located in the grounds of the Olympic Stadium used initially for the 2008 Summer Olympics. The two races took place in 2014 and 2015. In July 2018 it was announced that Formula E would return to mainland China for the 2018–19 season, now in Sanya.[2]
The Sanya ePrix was on the Formula E schedule for March 2020, but was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.[5] The race was due to return in March 2021, but it did not materialise and again for March 2023, however it is now likely to be postponed until 2024.[6][7][8]
Circuit
The Sanya ePrix is hosted on the Haitang Bay Circuit which located 24 km (15 mi) from the city. It is a 2.236 km (1.389 mi) temporary street circuit with 11 corners. The circuit runs anticlockwise. The circuit featured a number of tight 90° and 180° turns, whilst also enjoying two long straights that passed over two bridges. The pitlane exited between turns 2 and 3, and the "Attack Mode" boost was located on the outside of Turn 3's exit. The pit and paddock is a temporary construction in a car park.[9][10]
Before the circuit hosted the 2019 Sanya ePrix, it was treated with a resin to ensure it did not break up.[11]
