! VGPC opens ticket sales for two new grandstands as the countdown enters final stages for the most anticipated race on the 2020 Formula 1 calendar Hanoi, Vietnam – Today marks the occasion when the countdown to F1’s debut in Vietnam enters double figures for the first time with only 99 days left until the greatest drivers in the world line up on the brand-new Hanoi Circuit grid to fight for victory at the Formula 1 VinFast Vietnam Grand Prix 2020. To mark this import- ant milestone, VGPC is delighted to announce that tickets for the Standard and Unreserved Grandstands at T11 & T13 are now on sale, starting from as little as $165 & $99. Turn 11 provides a stunning view of F1 cars racing down the 1.5-km back-straight where they will reach estimated top speeds of 335km/h, before enter- ing this crucial corner, leaving no room for error! Already considered to be one of the most challenging sec- tions on the Hanoi Circuit, a seat in this Grandstand will offer fans an unforgettable vantage point to enjoy the world’s most spectacular racing from. Similarly, Grandstand seats at Turn 13 will provide fans with the perfect view of the Hanoi Circuit’s purpose-built stretch that has been inspired by Monaco’s famous Massenet hill section where the cars will fly past the My Dinh National Stadium following a tricky sequence of mid-fast corners. It will create a real, enclosed street circuit feel to this exciting sequence. Speaking today, the CEO of the Vietnam Grand Prix Corporation, Ms. Le Ngoc Chi was excited to mark this important milestone as the inaugural Formula 1 race in Vietnam draws ever closer: “The F1 VinFast Vietnam Grand Prix will fuse all that is great about F1 with everything that makes Vietnam such a unique and special place. It is incredibly satisfying to see how far we have come in the space of just over a year. Work is nearing completion on the Hanoi Circuit and we are now only a matter of months away from officially opening Vietnam’s first world-class racing and entertainment facility. With only 99 days to go, tickets are selling fast, so we are urging fans at home and abroad to act now and make sure they don’t miss out on this magnificent weekend of racing, live music, food festivals and vibrant Vietnamese culture. Come join us for this historic moment!” As the newest street race on the calendar, the Hanoi Circuit will run to 5,607m in length and feature 23 corners, making it the only circuit alongside Singapore’s Marina Bay Circuit to have as many turns. A feat of design, innovation & construction, the track will pose a stern examination of the drivers’ strength and skills, whilst providing fans with a weekend of non-stop, adrenaline- fuelled racing action. A unique hybrid design, fusing a street circuit’s characteristics with a permanent track llayout, the Hanoi Circuit is the first of its kind to be developed in partnership by Tilke Engineers and F1’s own Motorsports Division. With high speed corner sequences not seen at any other pure street tracks and as many as three overtaking points where cars will have the potential to duke it out side-by-side, this is a track designed to deliver spectacular racing. In addition to the F1 racing itself, all ticket holders will also be able to enjoy watching the support series on-track – including the recently announced Thailand Super Series – as well as participate in and witness the many entertainment activities, food festivals and live concerts that will be taking place across the circuit and F1 Fanzone all weekend.
