F1 racing heads to China for its next race. The Shanghai International Circuit will host the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday, April 21. This will be the first racing of this event since 2019 as it has been cancelled in each of the last four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
There is a 12-hour time difference between the Eastern time zone in the United States and Shanghai, China. Because of this, the race is scheduled to begin at 3 a.m. ET, and will air on ESPN. It will replay on ESPNEWS at 9 a.m. ET, 4:30 p.m. ET and 11 p.m. ET on Sunday.
