An 🎶average speed of over 250km/h is predicted with the potential for three DRS zones given the layout’s long straights.

The 🅷race will take place under floodlights, making it the second street race after Singapore to take place in the evening.

The circuit was designed by the Formula 1 Motorsport grouඣp alongside Herman Tilke’s company - with Tilke being responsible for the design of ma☂ny modern F1 circuits such as Bahrain and the Circuit of the Americas

F1 managing director Ross Brawn is confident the high-speed layout will pro🌠vide m⛄any overtaking opportunities.

“It’s always very exciting to release the ꦿdetails of a new circuit and the Jeddah Stꦰreet Circuit is no exception,” Brawn said.

“We have worked closely with the team at Tilke and with the promoter to ensure we have a track that provides exciting wheel to wheel racing for our fans and challenges all of the drivers. The design brings out the best of a modern street circuit but also has fast paced free flowing areas tha𓃲t will create fast speeds and overtaking opportunities. The setting is incredible, on the Red Sea, and we can’t wait to see the cars on track in December.”

Saudi Arabia&nb𒊎sp;will host the penultimate round of the 23-race season on December 3-5.
