Saudi Arabia has revealed plans for a new race track at its Qiddiya development, with the aim of hosting a Formula 1 race in the future. The Qiddiya project in Riyadh was supposed to be the permanent home for F1, but construction delays mean the move is now expected in 2027 at the earliest. The Speed Park Track, designed by Alex Wurz and Hermann Tilke, features a 21-turn layout with unique elevation changes, including the impressive Turn 1 known as the “Blade.” This track includes a street circuit and an open section, integrated with other attractions in the Qiddiya project. The plan is not only to host F1 but also various other racing categories, positioning Qiddiya City as a global motorsport hub. Visitors can expect a one-of-a-kind race experience at this pioneering track, but no firm date has been set for a future F1 event.
