Shanghai Inaugurates F1 track
Shanghai inaugurated its F1 circuit Sunday, marking international auto racing's arrival in China and a milestone in the nation's rise as an international sports venue.
During a break, the Ferrari F1 team's test driver Gerhard Berger zipped around the track in one of the team's reserve race cars and more than 60 of the company's low-slung yellow and red sports cars also did a lap. http://cbs.sportsline.com/autoracing/story/7396892 |

So apparently it's a very fast and technical track. Hopefully there will be some good racing there. I'm really looking forward to it!

Not sure Gerhard Berger will be too keen on his new job discription
 Hope this new track maintains the standards of Malaysia, both on and off the track Last edited by swatty; 7 Jun 2004 at 10:02. |

You'd think they'd try and get their facts right about Gerhard, yes.

This is why F1 will never be big in the US, its seen as to European and CBS probably the most trusted of the major networks for news doesn't even bother to check facts. ...If it was a NASCAR event...

 Yes, its Gerhard Berger. Actulaly, he was the former Ferrari driver, not the current Ferrari F1 team's test driver. |
