The Formula 1 circus will settle in Hanoi in 2020. A great opportunity for expats in Thailand to see our Max Verstappen at work. The Grand Prix in Vietnam will be spectacular because it will be a street race. The race will be held in April 2020.
Liberty Media, the owner of Formula 1, has signed a multi-year contract with local organizer Vingroup.
The circuit in the west of the city will be 5,57 kilometers long and will partly go over existing roads, a new part of the circuit will also be built. There will be a long straight of 1,5 kilometers where speeds of 350 kilometers per hour must be possible, but also several slow corners where there are many opportunities to overtake. The well-known German track designer Hermann Tilke helped to design the race track.
Last year, the Malaysian Grand Prix disappeared from the Formula 1 calendar after eleven years. Vietnam fills that gap and ensures that Asia remains well represented on the racing calendar.
Nguyen Duc Chung, the mayor of Hanoi, is proud of the arrival of Formula 1 to his city. He thinks he will put the metropolis of Hanoi, with over 6,5 million inhabitants, on the map. It should give tourism to Vietnam a major boost.
I will certainly keep an eye on whether special trips are organized from Thailand
A nice trip from Udon overland to Hanoi.
Or who knows, there will be a Dutchman who wants to organize something by then?
Would also have liked to see it in Buriram F1 but it falls by the wayside Too bad !!!
Is a nice circuit there in Buriram is definitely suitable for F1.
But vietnam and hanoi congratulations come in handy here, a Vietnam Consulate in the city is easy to apply for a visa.
