Previously, the Saudi leg of the all-electric racing series was held in Diriyah, near Riyadh. Since 2018, Diriyah’s street circuit has been the backdrop for thrilling night races under the stars. Over the course of six seasons, it became a staple in the Formula E calendar, setting the stage for memorable moments in motorsport history. But now, the excitement shifts to Jeddah, offering a new and unique atmosphere.
The double-header will be held on February 14 and 15, 2025, on a modified version of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. While the exact layout is still under wraps, this seaside track promises a fast-paced and exhilarating experience for both fans and drivers. A Formula E spokesperson hinted at what’s to come, stating that the race will take place on a modified version of the circuit, featuring its trademark flowing layout against the stunning Red Sea backdrop.
With the switch from Diriyah to Jeddah, the event is expected to contribute to the continued growth of motorsport in Saudi Arabia and the region at large. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit has already made a name for itself in Formula 1, hosting races since 2021 and witnessing some unforgettable battles, such as the dramatic showdown between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.
The move to Jeddah reflects Formula E’s ongoing efforts to innovate and offer new experiences, and the 2025 Jeddah E-Prix is poised to become one of the highlights of the season. As we await the final details on the track layout and further developments, anticipation builds for what promises to be a captivating race under the Arabian night sky.
