Race Controls & Red Sea Views: Jeddah's F1 Journey

OVERVIEW

Become immersed in the world of Formula One racing by visiting the Jeddah corniche circuit where the annual nighttime race is held. For an introduction to this hair-raising F1 motorsport, you will first tour the race control center that overlooks the starting grid and monitors each turn in the nearly 4-mile-long circuit. You will also visit the paddock where the race teams prepare, the garages that hold the multi-million-dollar cars and a trackside villa. The only way to get a better view of the circuit is to be right on the track, a rare experience that you will have while riding in a golf cart with an F1 driver at the wheel. Expect to hear fascinating stories about the non-stop challenges of the track, where speeds can reach 200 miles per hour. You will be treated to another perspective of the race circuit from the Royal Overlook that looms directly above the track.
