Pingtan Island in Fujian province, China, boasts captivating coastlines and mesmerizing natural wonders, earning it the title: "World's most magnificent coastal landforms and beaches."

China GT, accredited by the General Administration of Sport of China and the Federation of Automobile and Motorcycle Sports of China, is listed as a national annual sports competition and a part of the Chinese Automobile and Motorcycle Federation's racing calendar, while being registered with the FIA International Automobile Federation. As the highest level of motorsport in China, China GT brings together the country's top-tier teams and world-class drivers, with nearly a hundred participants from both domestic and international racing talents.

Shell Helix FIA Formula 4, authorized by the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and hosted by the Chinese Automobile and Motorcycle Sports Federation (CAMF), has gained popularity in over ten countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, and Australia. It has grown to become one of the world's most influential and prestigious formula racing events.

Super Jili League PRO, a large-scale motorhome racing event created by Geely Group's Motorsport Division, has evolved over the past decade into a comprehensive platform that combines experiential activities, training, and competitive racing, attracting motorsport enthusiasts from all walks of life.

The 2023 Pingtan International Racing Carnival will bring the globally acclaimed GT and formula racing cars to the Pingtan International Tourism Island, where China's first intelligent racetrack and the first lakeside racetrack, known as the Pingtan Ruyi Lake International Circuit, await the roaring engines.
