Ground has been broken and construction has begun on the latest Formula 1 circuit to be added to the calendar, ahead of the first Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The new track, called the Jeddah City Circuit – which has designed by Hermann Tilke – has been billed as the ‘world’s fastest street circuit’ and will debut on the calendar as the 2021 season’s penultimate race on Sunday 5th December.
With the new circuit hosting several races in upcoming seasons, the long-term plan is to host a race in a newly-built motorsport complex, Qiddiya, from 2024 based in the country’s capital city, Riyadh.
