Hanoi will host the Vietnamese Formula One Grand Prix from 2020.
Liberty Media, the company who took ownership of the sport in 2017, have made a first addition to the race calendar in the post-Bernie Ecclestone era.
The Hanoi promoter, Vingroup, signed a multi-year deal to host the grand prix, which will be a street race through the capital city’s centre on a 5.65km track.
The addition of the race is aimed at expanding interest in the sport in Asia.
Earlier this year, Liberty Media were forced to put plans for a race in Miami on hold after opposition from local groups.
