Penbay International Circuit
Irish driver Gary Thompson helped officially open Taiwan's all-new circuit by driving a Minardi F1 two seater race car around the track.
Circuit manager Xu Hong-Bin claims that the track is the first circuit in Taiwan to satisfy FIA Grade 2 standard and from 2012 the track will host international events.
The track was closed on 16 July 2019, with only the nearby go-kart track remaining open.
2012 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Asia
Automobili Lamborghini and Blancpain announced a new series, 2012 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Asia, to run alongside the established European competition. Building on the series' success, the Asian Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo will debut in Sepang, Malaysia in May 2012 with five further race weekends across Japan, China and Taiwan, possibly at Penbay. But the track failed to receive its FIA certification in time to host the race.
