Very cool! I just learned about the Shanghai F1 track:
The track layout was inspired from the Chinese character shang (上), the first character in the name of the city Shanghai, meaning "above" or "ascend".

There’s a unique start to the lap as the drivers fly into the ever-tightening Turns 1 and 2, before they dart left through 3 and 4. The super-high g force Turns 7 and 8 are loved by the drivers, while the circuit also features one of the longest straights on the calendar, the 1.2 km (0.7 mi) stretch that separates turns 13 and 14.[5]](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/4553724 "The track layout was inspired from the Chinese character shang (上), the first character in the name of the city Shanghai, meaning \"above\" or \"ascend\".[4]
