Shanghai_F1_Circui_01.jpg

We’re now at the 16th race of the SNL 2 season, the Chinese Grand Prix, which once again is taking place at the Shanghai International Circuit.

Built in 2004, the 3.4-mile circuit features a long back straight--also the DRS activation zone where drivers have plenty of opportunities to overtake--followed by a hairpin turn.
The circuit is also one where strategy can make a huge difference: in the past we’ve seen a wide variety of strategies being used, with some very close finishes.

Compared to the previous Malaysian Grand Prix, the cooler temperatures in China are much kinder on both crew and cars, although the weather can be quite changeable and rain is quite often a feature.

The surface of the Shanghai International Circuit is quite hard on tires, so that could prove a challenge for teams. Pirelli has brought its P Zero White medium and P Zero Yellow soft tires to China: the same combination as last year, although all compounds generally are softer and faster this year.

SNL2 Round 16 – Circuit of Shanghai (Apr 19)
GP2: 17:00 GMT
GP1: 18:45 GMT
Clock Tool

We moved all forward by an hour with our time zones, this means that the GMT times for the races needed to be moved backward by an hour, in order to make the race times the same as have been until last week.
The Clock Tool is not updated, so if you used it to convert at your time, remember to remove one hour.

GP1 notes:
- Remember you need to let me know if you'll make this race by Friday. I will release a mod for this week by early Saturday Morning depending on who attends the race.
- Bear in mind also that the drivers who say they will attend and race but do not do so will be penalized with a 1-race suspension.
- Since we are on Tunngle, would be nice if you could make sure that it works for you.

GP2 notes:
- GP2 moves on Tunngle as well from this week. Instructions below here.

I'm not sure if I'll be around for that race, pretty sure I won't, but I won't leave you alone :D
I'll release the skinmod on Saturday morning, and I'll make sure you'll race anyway.
 
Preliminary Message From the Stewards

Sorry for the delay, I have been out all day and completely forgot.

I have looked at all the footage and these are my decisions only, hence they are preliminary. I will update them if necessary once Dale and Mikey have had a chance to look, but in the interest of speed I will post these now so you have a rough idea.

  • Jeremy will retain his 10 second penalty for the turn 1 incident, but receive no further punishment.
  • Kieran Harrison caused the massive crash at turn 1 and in my opinion it should warrant a 1 race ban, but the other stewards may think a softer punishment would suffice.
  • Theo will retain his penalty as from the footage, and information provided by Ash it becomes clear that he moved across, not Alex.
