Ho Chi Minh City has the potential to build an international circuit. It already has 4 different race tracks, 2 for karting and 2 for cars and motorcycles, but none of them are up to international standards. Considering the amount of people passionate about motorsports and the rise of Vinfast as a car manufacturer, building an international circuit might be economically viable.
The site chosen is planned to be a large park which it can still be even with the built circuit if there’s no event. It is also very close to major transportation center such as international airports or highway exit.
