First look at the 2020 Vietnam Grand Prix Hanoi Street Circuit!

In 2020 there will be two additions to the Formula 1 race calendar. There will be a Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort and a Vietnam Grand Prix on the streets of Hanoi. Here are some photos of the Hanoi street circuit that is under construction.   

The site is still in its early days and the track is still being laid down. From the images, the track looks like it has a lot of potential. It is located right in the city and should look fantastic when it is completed. 

It looks like there is a long straight and a swooping long corner which should allow for some good racing when Formula 1 goes to Vietnam in April. 

The 5.565 km long circuit will have 23 corners and has been inspired from current circuits, Circuit de Monaco, Suzuka Circuit, Sepang International Circuit and the Nürburgring. Therefore it should be an amazing circuit!

The mixture of straights and twisty corners will make it a challenging track but one that should be very entertaining.
