Racing and Saudi

The need for speed is strong in the Kingdom. The vroom-vroom action of the Jeddah Formula One Grand Prix featuring world driving champions Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton takes over the Jeddah Corniche Circuit every year. The silent E-Prix has also moved to Jeddah. There is also the water-based E1 that is coming back for its second edition to the Red Sea city. In Riyadh, you can look forward to The Saudi Cup which will also take place next month.
