Formula 1 presents the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix circuit
Officials in charge of organizing the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix have finally revealed the ultra-fast Jeddah track.

Designed by Herman Tilke, in collaboration with F1, the Jeddah circuit will be the second longest of the season just behind the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. The circuit has 27 turns, spread over 6,175 kilometers. However, the average speed on one lap should be around 250 km/h!
Like the Brazilian or United States Grand Prix, the race will take place counterclockwise. According to the organizers’ initial information, there could be up to 3 DRS zones.
You should not become attached to this layout as it is not intended to last over time. Indeed, it will ultimately be replaced by an integrated circuit in an ultra-modern complex in Qiddya, a complex that is currently under construction.
Embark on a whirlwind tour of the Jeddah circuit.
