The website
mi6-hq.com has come across some interesting information, as it appears as though Sam Mendes has turned the Ascot Racecourse's new state of the art grandstand into the Shanghai International Airport. As you can see with the image to the right, Shanghai signage has been added to the location. The scenes were filmed at night according to the site's source to keep the racetrack out of the shots, and over 300 Chinese extras were used to create authenticity.
Also of note,
mi6-hq.com is reporting that a large amount of VW Beetles have been scooped up for the film. It is expected that they'll be damaged for a stunt and production will need replacements.

In an odd piece of news,
rumorfix.com is reporting that there is something special going on with Daniel Craig's watch for the film. If that has any significance I'm not sure, you decide.
As Bond, James Bond, Daniel Craig has to have the latest gadgets and look immaculate. That’s why a watchmaker was flown in from Switzerland to the set to match the face of Bond’s watch with Daniel’s blue eyes. Then a few days later, the designer was flown back again to take out a few pieces inside the timepiece to make it a few ounces lighter.
Skyfall, Craig's third outing as James Bond will be released on October 26, 2012. Daniel Craig will be joined by Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, as well as a Judi Dench as M.
