New F1 track REVEALED with incredible 20-storey hill

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix could move to a new location away from the Corniche Circuit in the future.

2024 marks the fourth running of the event in the country, which is largely remembered for a tense fight between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen in 2021.

However, the Jeddah circuit has only been seen as a temporary racing venue, with the country wanting to become a bigger player as a host nation of major sporting events.

Now, fans have been given their first look at a new track less than 30 miles outside the capital city of Riyadh, a track that is set to be open for business by 2027.

New Saudi Arabian track coming to F1

One of the most distinguishable aspects of the new circuit plans features an opening corner that is set to rise to around the height of a 20-storey building, with huge elevation changes forecasted throughout a 21-corner lap.

That first corner has already been named 'The Blade', and will offer a unique start to an F1 race.

Abdullah Aldawood, Managing Director of Qiddiya Investment Company said in quotes reported by multiple sources: “The Speed Park Track will be a true embodiment of Qiddiya’s power of play philosophy and position Qiddiya City as the home of Saudi motorsport and one of the world’s leading motorsport venues.

“Visitors and spectators will be treated to one of the most unique race experiences in the world with a pioneering track that will be ready to host some of the world’s biggest motorsport events.”
