Codemasters has released a video of its latest simulation of Vietnam’s Hanoi circuit as it will appear in the upcoming release of the F1 2020 software.<\/p>\n
Hanoi was scheduled to host Vietnam’s inaugural F1 Grand Prix in April, but the event was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
Formula 1 is still in the process of building its 2020 calendar which could include a round in the South-Asian country.<\/p>\n
In the interim, Codemasters revealed in-game footage of the 5.6km street circuit designed by the services of F1’s resident architect Hermann Tilke and which includes purpose-built sections inspired by existing circuits such as Monaco, Suzuka, Sepang or the N\u00fcrburgring.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re always excited to create new experiences for our players,” said game director Lee Mather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“Hanoi delivers both thrills and challenges, set against the backdrop of the stunning city skyline.<\/p>\n
“It is an adrenaline rush with high speeds, long straights and heavy braking zones, but it will punish anyone who doesn\u2019t respect the walled sections.”<\/p>\n
Carsten Tilke, managing director and partner at the Tilke company that created the track, added: “Hanoi Circuit offers a unique city circuit layout with several overtaking possibilities and high-speed corner combinations.<\/p>\n
“Codemasters has done a great job recreating Hanoi Circuit, and the track will provide a new challenge for all players.”<\/p>\n
F1 2020 is set for a July 10 release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia. The game will feature F1’s the original 2020 schedule – including Zandvoort.<\/p>\n
