Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has had his first look at the Formula 1 Vietnam Grand Prix circuit recently.
 
As previously announced, key CAMS officials and staff will play a lead role in ensuring a successful delivery of the first ever Grand Prix in Vietnam in 2020.
 
Morrison was joined by Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister, Vu Duc Dam, along with leaders from local government and senior management of the Vietnam Grand Prix Corporation.
 
The milestone moment highlighted the continuing work of all parties involved in the preparation for the significant motor sport event.
 
CAMS is working closely with the Vietnamese Motorsports Association and VGPC to ensure the event is ready to go once the drivers, teams and cars arrive in Vietnam in 2020.
 
Set to become the sixth street race on the F1 calendar next year, a lap of the track will be 5607m in length and feature 23 corners, some of them borrowing heavily from iconic tracks like Suzuka and the Nürburgring. Designed by Tilke Engineers & Architects in partnership with Formula 1, the circuit is also features one of the longest straights in the sport (1.6km) where drivers are could reach speeds of up to 335km/h.
 
Work is well underway at the circuit, as well as in the training rooms where CAMS staff continue to train up officials who will help deliver the historic event.
 
The pit building is nearing completion, while work on preparing for the installation of the temporary grandstands is well underway.
