Turn 1 (Suzuka homage)
A medium-speed sequence deliberately designed to evoke the opening of the Suzuka layout. Never raced on by Formula 1 cars.
Hanoi Street Circuit layout & records
Hanoi Street Circuit, designed by Hermann Tilke and built around the My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam, was prepared for an inaugural 2020 Vietnamese Grand Prix that was ultimately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent arrest of the local promoter. The 5.613 km, 23-corner street-permanent hybrid layout incorporated sections deliberately styled after famous corners worldwide. No Formula 1 race was ever held on the completed circuit.
