Speed Park Track, the F1 track being built in Qiddiya City, was announced to the world in March, but what will the track actually be like to race on? We sent Bryn Lucas to the city to speak with the team behind the track, legendary designer Hermann Tilke and former F1 driver & Le Mans winner Alex Wurz. With exclusive simulator onboard laps being driven by Wurz, he also explains what makes Qiddiya Speed Park different from all other F1 tracks, from the 108m high first corner to its dynamic hybrid layout.

Saudi Moey have been supporting F1 since the 80s.. Saudia Airlines/Al-Bilaad were the main sponsors for Williams when they first started... and Masnour Ojeh heped Ron Dennis build Mclaren... so Saudi money was instrumental in building 2 of F1 greatest teams.. furthermore US/UK have killed mroe ccivilians and commited more attrocities in teh past 50 years...

It’s been clear since the start of this project that Autosport has took a big wedge to promote this track. Journalists for hire clearly. Wait for the human rights issues to surface and Autosport has supported it

@madeovstarstuff 29 дней назад

Humans rights issues is a funny thing when you look at the bigger picture. Most turn a blind eye to genocide or war crimes in one instance but jump on the band wagon in the next. The ignorance and hypocrisy stinks but a sad reflection of society on the whole.

@durodesduvo8424 29 дней назад

F1 and blood money just go together, since the beginning. Tobacco sponsors, oil company sponsors, crypto sponsors, gambling sponsors, going ahead with events despite deaths, having Saudi Arabia as a sponsor now is just a natural progression until that gets banned.

@mitchell-wallisforce7859 29 дней назад

In fairness to Tilke, he's just doing his job most of the time and working to standards the FIA sets for F1 circuits. If you wanna know what the man is really capable of, look up Bilster Berg or pay very close attention to how wild the elevation changes at COTA are. Tilke often acts as the fall guy, but he's just a good racetrack designer doing work for really shitty bosses. Doesn't excuse him completely, but it's worth remembering that he isn't making soulless tracks on purpose. It's kinda like the F1 chassis rules - the teams aren't TRYING to make whales, they're just following the FIA's formula. Pirelli aren't that bad at making tires, they're just following a directive. It seems simplistic to blame all of F1's biggest problems on its leadership, but it's usually the truth.

@potatogirlcultist19 28 дней назад

The crazy ocean side track in Croatia is called Dragon Trail, and has sadly not been built yet :( If they were to get it to F1 standards, they would most likely reprofile the famous 'Death Chicane', because even in racing sims it causes absolute carnage.

I don't understand why these companies use such absurd images to represent a projected city when it just makes it look more fake than if they just had a more basic 3d render of the project, especially when the area has a history of having doomed projects with too many promises (the line city for instance) I'm like just 50% confident this race will happen

@hamadalkalbani4122 26 дней назад

They weren't many doomed and abandoned projects. First The Line city hasnt stopped construction nor scaled back by one centimeter as the ministry of economy in saudi arabia. Second, the jeddah is not owned by goverment, but its owned by some private sector companies, and it was stopped because of some corruption issues regarding to the owners. So all of what you hear from doomed and abandoned projects isn't true.

No disrespect here, I just wanted to thank Autosport for having published this for all of us to see today, for had it been displayed on April 1st, i would have been convinced this to be nothing more than an April fool's joke. Of course, maybe this would have been better for the people of Islam, as this display, beyond its comical traits and interviewed characters, seem to be almost an insulting farce to the Quran. In fact, investing this much into high-profitability entertainment, in a country where human liberty is abused in continuum, to then refuse the racing fan tourists to drink from a real bottle of real champaign, or to be allowed to order a real Martini cocktail seems morally abusive for each and every dollar they contemplate to collect... Saudi Arabia, with an ambition to compete with Sin-City, ... what a devilish joke!
