Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Motorsport venue

The Hong Kong Central Harbourfront Circuit is a street circuit on the Central Harbourfront on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, facing the Victoria Harbour. A Шаблон:Cvt layout was used between 2016 and 2019 for the Hong Kong ePrix of the single-seater, electrically powered Formula E championship. Its first use was on 9 October 2016, as the opening ePrix of the 2016–17 Formula E season and its last use being in 10 March 2019.[1] A Шаблон:Cvt rallycross circuit on the Harbourfront was separately designed for the FIA World Rallycross Championship in the season finale of its 2023 season.

Шаблон:Main The circuit had been used to hold the Hong Kong ePrix in 2016, 2017 and 2019. A total of 4 races were held on this circuit in the 2016–17 season, 2017-18 season and the 2018–19 season.

The circuit failed to meet regulations set forth by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). FIA regulations require tracks to be Шаблон:Cvt long but the Hong Kong Central Harbourfront Circuit was only Шаблон:Cvt long. [2] The FIA required Hong Kong to extend the circuit to Шаблон:Cvt for the 2019–20 season, in which two more teams were expected to enter the E-Prix.[2] Lawrence Yu, governor of the Hong Kong Automobile Association, cited difficulties in extending the track to the west as the Hong Kong station on the western side of the circuit links up the city with the airport. An extension to the east of the circuit through a tunnel was considered too dangerous for the cars to be running at high speeds along a straight road before they enter the tunnel.[2]

The Hong Kong ePrix was eventually dropped from the 2019–20 season on the ground of continued protests in the city.[3]

World Rallycross Championship

Шаблон:Main

Hong Kong was selected to host the final two rounds of the 2023 season in World RX in March 2023.[4] A Шаблон:Cvt circuit was designed on the Central Harbourfront, using parts of public roads used by the Formula E circuit. Gravel sections of the rallycross circuit were laid on the Central Harbourfront Event Space.[5] Last-minute track alterations were made one day prior to the race weekend. The circuit was shortened to Шаблон:Cvt by dropping the two longest asphalt straights from the layout.[6]
