The Riyadh Street Circuit is a street circuit located in the capital of Saudi Arabia, used for the Ad Diriyah ePrix of the FIA Formula E Championship. It held its first race on 15 December 2018, as the opening race of the 2018-19 FIA Formula E Championship.[1]
History
In May 2018, ahead of the 2018 Berlin ePrix, it was announced that Formula E holdings had signed a deal with the Saudi Arabian government, for a race to be held in the outskirts of the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh, in the Ad Diriyah district for 10 years.[2] The design was first unveiled on 25 September 2018 at the Governate of Diriyah, with the design calling for a 2.847 km (1.769 mi) long track.[3]
Track Layout
The Final track layout was shortened to 2.495 km (1.550 mi), and it features a distinctive second sector, with its tight corners being unique to the track in the Formula E Championship.[4] Before the 2021 race, the track was revised and resurfaced with reprofiling Turn 9, 13, 18, 19; and moving the start straight before the Turn 18.[5]
