The developers of a new Saudi Arabia motorsport venue have promised it will 'push the boundaries of motorsports to the extreme' with a list of world-first features.
The first corner climbs 20 storeys high, the main straight races alongside a rollercoaster and the layout combines street and circuit sections that can be extended into one of the world's longest racetracks. The Speed Park Track in Qiddiya City, just outside Riyadh, has been designed by legendary F1 designer Hermann Tilke, with former F1 driver Alexander Wurz providing his driver's eye view on its layout.
From the iconic 'Blade' towering above a music venue to street sections running through cultural neighbourhoods, it will be setting the gold standard for the industry, redefining the world of motorsports for competitors and spectators alike.' The viewing experience will be pretty unique too, as conventional grandstands will be ditched in favour of elevated terraces.
