Jeddah is primed for a rush of adrenaline as preparations for Formula 1 race to a finish. With the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix set to take place in the city on December 5, 2020, the Saudi Arabian Motorsport Federation (SAMF) is busy devising the finishing touches for the high-octane event.

The SAMF is working to ensure that the track for the race is on par with the standards of existing F1 circuits. To that end, the governing body has undertaken an extensive track-design process, employing the expertise of renowned circuit designer Hermann Tilke. Tilke is known for his contribution to the design of several renowned F1 tracks, including Bahrain International Circuit, Sepang International Circuit, and Shanghai International Circuit.

The track, which is expected to be completed within the next few months, is set to span 5.38 kilometers and feature 22 turns. In keeping with the highest safety standards, it is being built with state-of-the-art safety barriers and will include a 2.5-kilometer straight, the longest of any existing F1 circuit.

The SAMF is also working towards establishing a smooth and seamless event. To that end, a range of services, including ticketing, hospitality, and other operational elements are being established. Moreover, a number of promotional activities and programs are being planned to ensure that the event is a memorable one for all involved.

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix marks a milestone for Formula 1, not only for its status as the first F1 race in the Middle East, but also for its potential to expand the sport’s fan base in the region. Indeed, the event is expected to attract thousands of spectators from within the country, as well as from across the region.
