Saudi Arabia is pushing for a second Formula 1 race in the country and this week revealed a proposal for a new racetrack that organizers aim to have ready in time for the 2028 F1 season.

The 21-corner circuit is to be located at the new Qiddiya City development close to the capital city of Riyadh. Saudi Arabia plans for Qiddiya City to be home to multiple entertainment and tourism attractions including concert spaces, theme parks, and esport facilities, as well as the circuit. The circuit has been designed by veteran F1 circuit designer Herman Tilke together with former F1 driver Alex Wurz, and features a 20-story-tall structure known as the blade. This structure will sit in the first corner of the circuit and hover above a concert space.The proposed Qiddiya City circuit was originally meant to replace the circuit in Jeddah, but Saudi Arabia via its Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation has proposed hosting two races should a deal with F1 organizers be reached.
