Weekend schedule (Shanghai)

[Kiwi3]

Hi,

Does anyone know the schedule for the weekend, i.e. what time all of the practice sessions & qualifying starts? I am going to be there but cannot find a schedule so do not know what time to turn up at the circuit!

I will post pictures each day as well for those who are interested.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

For A1GP, everything always run to the same schedule (local times). There's a few examples in this forum somewhere...
Only thing is obviously where any support races fit into things. I suppose if you work on getting there early though you won't miss anything - plus you'll have more time to wander round at soak up the atmosphere!

Thanks Asp, I still have a race program from Sepang so I will follow that. When in Malaysia I turned up at 9.30am on the Friday and had nothing to do until 1pm - won't be repeating that!

If you are really in Shanghai and can't find a schedule with less than 24hrs to go,it dos'nt promise much of a crowd? Anyone know what supporting races are scheduled if any?

I am in Shanghai but lack of information is pretty normal here - it's the same for many things. Besides I don't read Chinese, possible it was in today's Shanghai Sports Daily but I wouldn't have a clue...

They do have regular (but pretty low level) saloon cars and Formula Renault here, so I am sure there will be some support races.

The local people here are pretty new to motorsport, so I expect to be in the grandstand alone tomorrow (Friday), not many people on Saturday and hopefully a decent crowd on Sunday. Hard to say though, it has been very widely promoted however one a year (i.e. F1) might be enough to fulfill the novelty value of this new motor racing thing.
