____________________________________
Zhuhai International Circuit (ZIC) is located at Jin Ding town, People's Republic of China. Motorsport started in Zhuhai when it hosted a race on its street circuit in 1993, racing continued until 1996 when the motor racing circuit was constructed and became China’s first permanent motor race track with F1 in mind.
The circuit is designed by Australian company Kinhill Engineers Pty Ltd, the same group which created the Formula One circuit in Adelaide. The project manager for the project was Michael McDonough.
The first international race held at the circuit was the BPR Global GT Series. The circuit soon became the hotbed of local motorsports with many teams setting up up shop inside the circuit garages.

Format:
A race weekend features one 15-minute practice session, and one 15-minute qualifying session, followed by a 5 minute warmup then a race lasting approximately 90 minutes,** The qualifying session is a straight fight for the fastest lap time, and determines the order of the grid.
COMMS: Please refrain from continuously giving play-by-pay on mic while in race, and test your mic sensitivity before the race so that it is not unreasonably loud (voice, background noise, etc.) as compared to others. Whether your moves are heroic or tragic, please refrain from swearing, yelling, describing your frustration or venting against A.I. or, especially, other players.
Everyone is trying to concentrate and needs to hear critical and necessary information in race and qualifying, such as passing calls, position information, pit notices, etc. This does not refer to lighthearted banter or the occasional descriptive moment, unless excessive.
Verbal abuse, repeated yelling at other drivers and accusations, whether founded or unfounded, to a fellow racer during a race will not be tolerated and may range in penalty.
Sign up: No need to sign up if you are already signed up as a driver. You will be invited prior to the race automatically. Please inform the host if you are not. Please sign up as a driver if you wish to race.
Restarts: There will be no restarts once warm up begins (a minute or two before practice and qualification, drivers are not permitted to rejoin by the game). If you get disconnected before then, please inform the host immediately and you will be invited back. It is up to you to accept this on time to get in, if possible. If you cannot join and were disconnected prior to warmup, the race may be postponed or restarted so you can join. Otherwise, once warmup starts, the only exception to this rule is a mass disconnect (three or more at the same time) or a lag induced crash involving three or more drivers on the first lap.
