The Qiddiya Speed Park Track, also referred to as Qiddiya Speed Park, [2] is a planned motor racing circuit under construction in Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia. The circuit is planned to host the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix for 2028 onwards, replacing the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. [3]

Layout

The circuit is located within the Qiddiya City megaproject and runs alongside the Six Flags Qiddiya City amusement park and the Falcons Flight roller coaster. [2] Designed by Hermann Tilke and former Formula One driver Alex Wurz, [4] the circuit will have 21 corners and run counter-clockwise. While the official length of the Qiddiya Speed Park Track is yet to be confirmed, it is expected to be longer than the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps which is 7.004 km (4.352 mi) long. [3]

The first corner of the circuit, nicknamed the "Blade", is expected to tower over a concert venue. [5] The Blade corner is expected to be over 70 m (230 ft) in elevation with a grade of 10 degrees. [3] [4]
