The Jeddah Corniche Circuit, located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is a relatively new addition to the Formula 1 calendar, having made its debut in 2021. Designed by Carsten Tilke, the son of renowned circuit designer Hermann Tilke, this street circuit is situated along the scenic Red Sea coast. It measures 6.174 kilometres (about 3.836 miles) and features 27 turns, making it the longest street track currently in use by Formula 1.
The circuit was constructed in just over eight months with the help of 3,000 workers from 50 different countries. It required a substantial amount of materials, including 37,000 tons of asphalt and 600,000 tons of cement. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is notable for its high-speed nature, with drivers averaging around 250 km/h (160 mph), and is designed to provide a challenging and thrilling experience with three potential DRS zones for overtaking.
The inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, held on December 5, 2021, was a dramatic event filled with multiple crashes and intense battles, particularly between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, who were contending for the championship. This race, which Hamilton ultimately won, was pivotal in the season's title race.
The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is set to host the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix until at least 2027, after which there are plans to move the race to a new purpose-built facility in Qiddiya. The circuit has quickly become a fixture in the Formula 1 calendar, known for its unique coastal setting and high-speed layout.
