Chinese GP Preview

Product News

China prepares to stage its first world championship Grand Prix this week as it hosts Formula One for the first time. The 5.451km (3.387-mile) Shanghai International Circuit is the second new venue to appear on the 2004 calendar, after Bahrain. The race is scheduled to last 56 laps; a total distance of 305.256km.

Although Michelin is confident it will perform well, Shanghai will highlight the ability of Formula One teams to react to new situations. Pascal Vasselon, Michelin’s F1 programme manager commented: “Given our experience in Bahrain earlier this year, choosing tyres for a previously unknown circuit such as Shanghai might appear quite routine – but that’s not the case at all. Certain corners at Shanghai have a unique configuration and two of them – which have an almost snail-like profile when viewed from above – are likely to put a greater load on tyres than anywhere else on the calendar.

“Generally, we expect the rate of wear to be fairly even left to right and front to rear, which makes things a little bit easier. From what we can see, the track surface looks fairly smooth and non- abrasive – another little difficulty we had to factor in when finalising the best tyre compromise. When you encounter a new circuit like this, with lots of directional changes, it is best to select compounds that have a slightly broader operational spectrum than usual. And to further minimise any risk of error, we will be taking tyres that have previously been used in racing conditions.”

Ambitious goals for CITEXPO in Shanghai

Product News

The organisers of last year’s CITEXPO, China’s International Tire Expo, were so satisfied with the results of the Shanghai show, that they have promised the second exhibition to be even bigger and better.
The CITEXPO is already the biggest international tyre exhibition in China and has attracted numerous international exhibitors and visitors from over 40 countries, including many European countries.
The exhibition will again take place in the Shanghai East Asia Exhibition Center, from 22-24 September this year. The organisers, from Reliable International Exhibition Services, Hong Kong, are aiming to make the exhibition “one of the biggest and most famous tyre exhibitions in the world.” To achieve this they will focus not only on players from the domestic Chinese tyre market, but also on the global marketplace bringing manufacturers, distributors, dealers, retailers, buyers, professionals, and other interested parties together in one venue.

Auto Shanghai attracts 200,000

Product News

Auto Shanghai 2003, the 10th International Automobile and Manufacturing Exhibition, proved to be a great success, with 730 exhibitors from 23 countries and a show area of 81,000 square metres. The event ran from 21st to 25th April and attracted almost 200,000 visitors to the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The 200 or so exhibitors from the automotive supply industry included a group of 50 companies from Germany. The show was held against a background of rising numbers of cases of SARS and in view of this problem, the organisers took a number of precautionary measures. Shanghai’s municipal authorities took the decision to close the show three days early in order to avoid the expected floods of visitors from other regions of China over the weekend. In general, this was welcomed by exhibitors, many of whom said that the visitor response had been so positive that they had achieved their trade fair objectives, despite the early closure.
