The progress of the construction of Saudi Arabia\u2019s new Formula 1 circuit has been revealed in fresh pictures.<\/p>\n
Qiddiya Speed Park, designed by former F1 driver Alexander Wurz, will be part of a new entertainment and sports complex outside the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh.<\/p>\n
It is scheduled for completion in 2027 with the aim of hosting a first F1 race in 2028 but the project could be pushed back to as late as 2029.<\/p>\n
The circuit has already faced delays, with the original intention for the venue to be completed in time for 2024.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit will continue to host the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for as long as required.<\/p>\n
