Jeddah releases images as F1s next venue nearly finished

The organizers of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix have released images showing the Jeddah Corniche Circuit as it “nears completion” surpassing its debut on the Formula 1 timetable in two weeks.

There had been rumors that the track in Jeddah would not be ready in time to host the penultimate round of the season, given the value of work that remaining in such a short timeframe. But without well-spoken progress in recent weeks, the 6.175km (3.837 miles)track is expected to be finished in the coming days, with the first track running taking place a week on Friday.

The longest street track in F1 features 27 corners — including a 12-degree banked corner — and claims it will be the quickest street venue on the calendar. It is located on the Red Sea and will host a night race, with the venue moving to an older slot in 2022.
