RE: The Very Last Imola F1 Grand Prix?

I have never been to a Formula 1 race, but I always thought it would be cool to see. I remember there was a race planned in Vietnam back in 2020 that I was planning to go to, but it got canceled. If they ever do get it rescheduled, I would certainly try to go.

Vietnam will happen very soon as they would never have done the work building a street/track and the pit buildings. Maybe next year or 2027 would be my guess.
I am curious to see how they set it up. I lived in Hanoi for 2 years and never drove past a race track.
I remember seeing the track and layout when it was developed. Track was half completed with the other half using public roads and is ready to be completed once they get the green light.
I just looked up the layout. I think it will be good they use some public road, as this will make more viewing locations available.
Yes they will be putting temporary stands up, but there will be view points elsewhere from the public roads. Las Vegas is fenced off entirely and they have various zones so maybe not an opportunity for people who do not pay to view the event.
Can't say I am surprised by it being closed off in Vegas, nothing comes for free there ...unless its drinks at the craps table haha
I would imagine they would have some areas in Hanoi for the average Vietnamese to watch, as many of them would likely not be able to afford the ticket price.
Yes I am sure the locals would not be able to afford the ticket prices and would be mainly for tourists coming to see the race. This would be a big boom for the local economy even if it cost the country $50 million.
Vietnam has been doing a lot recently to attract more affluent tourists including a adding luxury trains, cruises, boutique hotels and golf courses. Their efforts seem to be working so far.
