The main grandstand, where the race starts, is named Thang Long, the ancient name for Hanoi. The other stands are named after Hai Phong, Ha Long, Hue, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Sai Gon, Can Tho, and Phu Quoc.
The naming aims to promote Vietnam’s tourism sector to millions of fans when the inaugural Vietnam Grand Prix takes place in April this year.
Construction of the racetrack kicked off in Hanoi’s Nam Tu Liem district in March last year. Designed by the Formula One Group and Germany’s Tilke company, the track has a length of 5,607 metres with 23 corners inspired by some of the world’s best-known circuits in Germany, Monaco and Japan. It will allow racers to show off their skills on tricky turns, creating a challenging and breathtaking race.
The Hanoi race will be a seven-day event with parades and race cars on show.
Vietnam will be the third country in the Southeast Asian region to host an F1 race after Malaysia and Singapore.
