The Haitang Bay Circuit was a street circuit located in the Haitang Bay area of Sanya, in the Chinese island of Hainan. It was used for the Sanya ePrix of the single-seater, electrically powered Formula E championship on 23 March 2019.[1]

Layout

[edit]

The track was 2.236 km (1.389 mi) in length and featured 11 turns. Prior to the race, it was decided to treat the track surface with a resin-type material, in a bid to prevent a repeat of the previous round in Santiago, which saw the track break up during the race due to the high temperatures.[2]
