The 5.56-km racetrack with 23 turns, designed by German firm Tilke and Formula 1 Group, covers 88 hectares.


The project was kicked off in March this year and is scheduled for completion by late December.

In April this year, F1 chief executive officer Chase Carey inspected the project’s initial work. He said that next year’s inaugural race in Hanoi will be “uniquely exciting” thanks to a street track he hopes will help make the event a global spectacle.
