The promoters of the Vietnam Grand Prix hope to announce a new date for their first F1 race within the next two months.

The inaugural event on the new Hanoi street circuit was supposed to take place from April 3rd-5th, but was cancelled earlier this week.

In a statement on Thursday the race promoters said “our race has been postponed only and not cancelled”. However they are yet to announce when the event will go ahead.

“Currently the Hanoi People’s Committee and Vietnam Grand Prix LLC are working tirelessly with F1, FIA and all relevant parties to find the best possible course for the event to ensure the safety of all participants,” the statement added.

Any tickets purchased for the original race dates “remains fully valid along with their available benefits and will be automatically updated to the new 2020 race schedule when announced,” the promoters added. “We hope to have a new date within one to two months based on the official reschedule date announced by the FIA and F1.”

The FIA, F1 and teams are holding a remote conference meeting today to discuss how to reorganise the calendar after the first four race dates were cancelled.

Any ticket holders who wish to refund their purchases can do so via the Vietnam Grand Prix website.
