Track map and layout
The Jiangsu Wantrack International Circuit is a 2.014 km (1.251 mi), 12-turn permanent road course near Nanjing, built at a reported cost of around 200 million yuan (¥200 million) and holding an FIA Grade 4 rating. The layout is broadly F-shaped, mixing medium-speed sweepers with tighter infield corners typical of a compact Chinese club and touring-car facility rather than a full-scale international venue.
Configurations
| Layout | Length | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Full circuit | 2.01 km | 2.014 km, 12 turns, FIA Grade 4 |
Events and race weekends
Wantrack has hosted the China Touring Car Championship (CTCC), including rounds in 2016 and 2020, and TCR China Touring Car Championship, also in 2020. It has not been a fixture on the national touring car calendar in every season and does not currently appear on the regular CTCC or TCR China circuit rotation, functioning more as an occasional venue and test/club track between top-flight events.
Getting there and parking
The circuit sits on the outskirts of Nanjing, reachable by car from the city in under an hour; Nanjing itself is a major high-speed rail hub on the Beijing-Shanghai corridor, with the nearest Nanjing Metro lines requiring a taxi or car transfer for the final leg out to the track.
- Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG) · about 60 min drive
Nanjing South railway station, on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line, is the most practical rail gateway; plan on a taxi or hire car for the remaining distance to the circuit.
Hotels and camping near Jiangsu Wantrack International Circuit
Nanjing city offers the full range of hotel options and is the practical base for a visit, with the circuit itself a car journey away in the surrounding countryside; there is no trackside hotel, camping or RV culture documented at the venue.
Where to look
Central Nanjing (Xinjiekou or the Nanjing South railway station area) for the widest choice of accommodation and easiest onward transport.

History of Jiangsu Wantrack International Circuit
A compact circuit for Jiangsu's motorsport scene
The Jiangsu Wantrack International Circuit opened near Nanjing in 2014 as a purpose-built, FIA Grade 4-rated road course, built at a reported cost of roughly 200 million yuan. Its compact, broadly F-shaped 2.014 km, 12-turn layout was designed to give China's expanding domestic racing calendar another dedicated venue in the country's populous eastern Jiangsu province, within reach of both Nanjing and the wider Yangtze River Delta motorsport-following region.
Touring cars come to Nanjing
Wantrack found its niche as an occasional home for China's national touring car championships rather than as a fixture on every season's calendar. The China Touring Car Championship (CTCC) raced there in 2016 and again in 2020, and the newer TCR China Touring Car Championship also used the circuit in 2020, with Wang Tao setting the outright lap record, 1:08.205, in a Lynk & Co 03 TCR that year.
An intermittent presence today
Unlike China's larger Grade 2 and Grade 3 venues that anchor the CTCC and China GT calendars every year, Wantrack has not remained a permanent annual stop for national touring car racing, and detailed information on its current activity, ownership and public access is limited in English-language sources. It remains a documented, FIA-graded facility near Nanjing, distinct from the separate Yancheng Street Circuit elsewhere in Jiangsu province, which is a different venue with its own CTCC history.
