Compared to 2018, the achievements of the Vietnamese team this year are not as good. Last year, Vietnam won 4 Gold Medals, 2 Silver Medals, and had a contestant win the individual prize in the theory test and the group prize in the practical test. This is the best result of the Vietnamese team after 9 years of participation.
