Zhuhai International Circuit in China is a built for F1 circuit which now holds an annual FIA GT World Championship event and a round of the A1GP Series. The circuit boasts modern facilities and is extremely safe. Their Pan Delta Super Racing Festival events attract live TV, huge crowds who are entertained by a packed racing schedule plus drifting demonstrations, motor bike stunts, slalom, bazaars and all the hype of a major sporting event.

The Batangas Race Circuit in the Philippines is a demanding circuit reminiscent of Brands Hatch or Oulton Park in the UK. Its many elevation changes make it a driver favourite. Live TV coverage and a fantastic atmosphere make the BRC events an unforgettable experience.

Chennai Race Circuit, formerly Madras, has in the past hosted an annual F3 International event and is a challenging circuit for the driver. It has recently been resurfaced making for a much smoother ride than in the past.

Sepang is a GP venue and AF3 will give drivers a unique opportunity to race on an F1 circuit – a great investment for the future.
