F1 chiefs have released details of the inaugural Saudi Arabian GP, which is expected to have an average speed of over 155mph – despite having 27 corners. The street circuit in Jeddah will host this year’s race in December while a permanent track is being built. High-speed chicanes and esses will be hemmed in by catch fencing making the track look a lot like a temporary Formula E circuit.

HRH Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Faisal, President of the Saudi Automobile & Motorsport Federation added: “We are looking forward to welcoming motorsport fans to Saudi Arabia.
