The F1 racetrack in Vietnam is called Hanoi Racetrack, which reflects the pride of the capital city when hosting one of the most prestigious sports events on the planet, building a world-class sports and entertainment racing facility. This is also an effort to promote Hanoi to millions of Formula 1 fans around the world. From now on, Hanoi will be marked on the Formula 1 map of the world and mentioned as an unmissable destination for Formula 1 fans and international tourists in general.
The Hanoi Racetrack, located in My Dinh, has a length of 5.607 meters with 23 corners inspired by the iconic Formula 1 races. It is a unique track design, combining a dedicated racing section with existing street sections. This is also the first track designed by F1 in collaboration with Tilke (Germany), promising to become one of the most emotional and challenging tracks of this sport. With high-speed corners unprecedented in other street circuits and with up to 3 overtaking points, the drivers will definitely have many opportunities to compete closely. This will be a test of skills and mental strength for the drivers, and it will also bring to speed enthusiasts a passionate weekend with thrilling speed performances.
The Hanoi Racetrack is designed with 9 grandstands named in order from North to South, from the first corners to the final corners, with the names: Thang Long Grandstand, Hai Phong Grandstand, Ha Long Grandstand, Hue Matrix One Grandstand, Da Nang Grandstand, Nha Trang Grandstand, Saigon Grandstand, Can Tho Grandstand, Phu Quoc Grandstand. The names are also chosen based on the characteristics of the corners where the grandstands are located.
With the naming of the racetrack and grandstands after the names of important provinces and cities in the country, VGPC affirms the Vietnamese imprint of the race, thereby promoting Vietnam to millions of viewers worldwide.
Taking place from April 3rd to April 5th, 2020, the first-ever Formula 1 race in Vietnam will witness top performances from the world’s leading racers.
