About the Event

Saudi Arabia is the only country with a coastline along both the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, and most of its terrain consists of arid desert, lowland, steppe, and mountains. Its capital and largest city is Riyadh. The country is home to Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam.

The Saudi Arabia street circuit race track in Jeddah, was originally listed as a Formula 1 2023 event.
The original New Circuit Plan ; The Qiddiyah circuit is part of a new entertainment and sports complex outside the capital Riyadh, designed by ex-F1 driver Alexander Wurz.

A street race is being planned in the Middle Eastern’s country’s second-largest city, Jeddah, which is home to around 3.5 million people. The city had previously been tipped to host a one-off race next year prior to F1’s relocation to an ambitious, purpose-built facility which is being built in the multi-billion pound entertainment complex Qiddiya.
However delays to this project resulting from the global pandemic mean the Jeddah circuit may hold more than one race over the coming years.
