Eerie abandoned Grand Prix circuit cost £540m – but was axed from F1 calendar

F1 has always been partial to a cool street race taking place at night – they’re even more excited if it takes place in a country of 97.47million people.
The Vietnamese Grand Prix was supposed to be one of the funkiest races on the motorsport calendar, that guaranteed excitement and also expanded the sport’s reach in new territories. Taking place on the streets of the South East Asian nation’s capital city of Hanoi, fans were looking forward to seeing what the country has to offer.
Hundreds of millions were invested into creating a brand new track which zipped around the city after a ten-year deal with F1 was signed in 2018. However, instead of the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, cyclists, tuk-tuk drivers, motorcyclists and the occasional car drives on the track – Daily Star Sport has a look at the abandoned Hanoi Circuit.
