The first tickets for the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on December 3-5 have gone on sale this week.
The penultimate race of the 2021 Formula 1 season will take place on the new Jeddah street circuit, which features 27 corners and is the second-longest track in F1 behind Spa. The circuit has been designed with the intention of becoming the fastest street circuit on the F1 calendar.
Race organisers have initially released 40% of tickets, but it is hoped that the race will be able to welcome a full capacity crowd “as the global vaccine response to the pandemic continues to improve”.
Day by day, we are building racing history!
