Formula 1's fastest-ever street circuit is taking shape, as shown in the latest photographs of the new Jeddah track released today, showing the rapid Turn 13, as construction work continues ahead of the first-ever Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on December 5.
The 27-corner, 6.1km circuit will be the second-longest on the calendar and feature an average speed of 250 km/h, according to simulations. Scheduled to be run under floodlights, the race in Jeddah could also feature three DRS zones to add even more excitement.

A key part of that high-speed layout will be Turn 13, banked at 12-degrees, plus the stretch from Turn 23 to Turn 27 that will see drivers hit 322 km/h.
New photographs of the circuit also show the state-of-the-art media centre – a 280m-long, four-storey facility due to be completed by October.
