Is this a new racetrack in Beijing?

It sure does look like one. What do you think?
It seems to be about 5 km long, but most of it is pretty twisty.

How intriguingly hillarious. It seems that the forums don't include the bracket at the end of the link I gave, which appears to be necessary. I'll try again:

That should work better.

Don't you realise that this is not a racetrack, not for cars? It was used in Beijing'08 for Mountain Bike races, next to the Laoshan Velodrome (indoor bike races)....

It seems little complicated track, with lot of turnings and bendings.
In total?
