The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has unveiled its plans for a brand new Formula 1 track in the city of Qiddiya, which is set to become the home of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in the future. The track, designed by renowned circuit architect Hermann Tilke, promises to be a unique and thrilling addition to the F1 calendar.
The Qiddiya Speed Park track boasts a remarkable 21-corner layout, with a significant elevation change of 108 meters throughout the lap. One of the most striking features of the track is the Blade, an opening corner that rises to the height of a 20-story building. This unique design element is sure to provide a breathtaking spectacle for both drivers and spectators alike.
In addition to the track itself, the Qiddiya Speed Park will also be home to the world’s tallest, longest, and fastest roller coaster – the Falcon’s Flight. This exhilarating attraction will run alongside the track, offering visitors a truly unforgettable experience. The Stadium its-self will be designed with terrace style viewing to add to the overall vibe and ambiance of the venue in contrast to traditional stadium style viewing.
The track has been designed with both driver safety and spectator enjoyment in mind. The layout is expected to provide exciting racing, with a variety of corner types and overtaking opportunities. The circuit will also feature a wide range of viewing areas, allowing fans to follow the action from multiple vantage points.
The construction of the Qiddiya Speed Park track is part of a larger project to develop the city of Qiddiya into a world-class entertainment and sports destination. The project is a cornerstone of the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify the country’s economy and create new opportunities for its citizens.
As the first purpose-built Formula 1 track in Saudi Arabia, the Qiddiya Speed Park is set to play a significant role in the country’s growing involvement in the world of motorsport. The track is expected to host the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in the future, further cementing the country’s position as a key player in the global racing scene.
