Hit the track in Hanoi in F1 2020

Codemasters have released a hot lap video of Hanoi, the next circuit revealed for F1 2020, with the track combining the characteristics of a road course with those of a permanent route layout, check it out.

The Hanoi Street Circuit is inspired by iconic F1 routes such as Suzuka, Monaco and the Nürburgring and covers a total of 23 bends over a length of 5,613km. The two incredibly long straights provide action and risky overtaking manoeuvres. The track promises to be one of the fastest racetracks in the F1® calendar. With one of the shortest pit lanes missing both the last and the first turn, the pit stop strategy could play a crucial role in keeping up with the competition.

"We are happy to create new challenges for our players. The Hanoi track is both challenging and exciting, against the backdrop of a breathtaking skyline," says Lee Mather, F1® Franchise Game Director at Codemasters. 

"The Hanoi Street Circuit is an adrenaline rush with high speeds, long straights and hard braking points – punishing anyone who doesn't respect the walls close to the track." "The route in Hanoi offers a unique city course layout with numerous overtaking options and combinations of high-speed curves," says Dr. Carsten Tilke, Managing Director and Partner at Tilke GmbH & Co. KG. Codemasters has done a great job in replicating the Hanoi Circuit and the track offers a whole new challenge to all players”
