Track map and layout
The Yancheng Street Circuit is a 2.8 km (1.74 mi), 11-turn layout on closed public roads in the Yancheng Economic and Technological Development Zone, sitting between the Yancheng International Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Happy Valley theme park, and close to a Kia factory in the city's industrial east. The circuit mixes several 90-degree street corners with a double-apex hairpin at turn one, a combination that has historically produced good overtaking opportunities in touring car racing. Note: this venue is distinct from the separate Jiangsu Wantrack International Circuit near Nanjing, elsewhere in Jiangsu province, which some sources and search results can be confused with.

Hotels and camping near Yancheng Street Circuit

History of Yancheng Street Circuit
A founding venue for the CTCC era
The Yancheng Street Circuit was laid out on closed public roads in the Yancheng Economic and Technological Development Zone in 2014, the same year the China Touring Car Championship (CTCC) was founded, and it has been a regular fixture on the series' calendar ever since. The 2.8 km, 11-turn layout sits in the city's industrial east, threading between the Yancheng International Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Happy Valley theme park and a Kia manufacturing plant, giving the circuit an unmistakably modern, industrial-zone backdrop rather than a historic city-centre setting.
A technical, overtaking-friendly layout
The circuit mixes a series of tight 90-degree street corners with a double-apex hairpin at turn one, a combination that has made it a consistently entertaining stop for CTCC drivers looking to pass under braking. Its longevity as a CTCC venue, now spanning more than a decade, sets it apart from many of China's shorter-lived street circuits, several of which (such as those at Wuhan and Beijing's Olympic Green) hosted only a handful of seasons before disappearing from the calendar.
A city venue distinct from Wantrack
Yancheng's circuit is sometimes confused in search results and databases with the separate Jiangsu Wantrack International Circuit near Nanjing, a different, permanent FIA Grade 4 road course elsewhere in Jiangsu province that has also hosted CTCC racing. The two venues are unconnected beyond both being touring car venues in the same province, and detailed public information on Yancheng's ownership, capacity and current calendar status remains limited in English-language sources.
