History

In 2018, the race weekend was extended alongside the CTCC with the TCR China Touring Car Championship and the Chinese Formula 4 Championship, while with the World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) the first international event was attracted. It was the second Chinese event on the WTCR calendar, after having already been on the Ningbo International Circuit a week earlier.
