The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is the fastest street circuit in Formula 1, a 6.174 km blast along the Red Sea waterfront under floodlights. Its 27 corners are mostly flat-out flowing sweeps, many of them blind and walled, with a banked left and three long straights that push average speeds higher than anywhere except Monza.
First raced in 2021, Jeddah is as fast as it is unforgiving, with barriers inches from a racing line taken at huge speed. Pole laps run into the 1:27s.
