Daredevil actor Jackie Chan will be heading a glamorous posse of singers and actresses competing at the Shanghai Circuit in a demonstration touring car race.

The Jackie Chan Cup will take place on June 27 as part of the support programme for the second round of the China Circuit Championship.

The Circuit is due to host its first Formula One Grand Prix on September 26 2004.

The top 15 singers and actresses, who come from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea, will become race drivers for the day.

They are part of the Star Drivers Race Team which is the brainchild of Jackie Chan, a keen racing fan.

Chan is no mean driver himself and has taken part in the Macau Grand Prix in recent years.
