Client has awarded local United Maintenance and Contracting Company (Unimac) an estimated SR1.8bn ($480m) contract to deliver the project. The scope of the contract includes the track build and all infrastructure works including electrical networks, storm drainage systems, water and sewer networks, landscape works, as well as associated underground and above ground structures and associated civil works.

Client has announced plans for the launch of a ground-breaking racetrack within its mega development that aims to elevate Saudi Arabia to the pinnacle of motorsport. The track, which will sit at the centre of an area dedicated to motorsports, will also boast some of racing’s most recognizable track design features. The configurable Speed Park Track will blend functionality, state-of-the-art technology and unique customer experience and is poised to host an impressive roster of the world's most prestigious racing events. Visitors and spectators will be treated to one of the most unique race experiences in the world with a pioneering track that will be ready to host some of the world’s biggest motorsport events. Designed by Austrian former Formula One driver Alex Wurz and German circuit designer Hermann Tilke, the fast-flowing track is a teamwork of race drivers, for race drivers, and pushes boundaries to the extreme, featuring 21 corners and utilising Qiddiya City’s dramatic landscape to create over 108m of elevation gain per lap. Its centrepiece will be the pioneering “Blade” at turn one – an awe-inspiring elevated section of circuit that dramatically rises more that 20 stories above the ground. The track has multiple configurations with two distinctive sections including a street circuit section and the fast open track section which are fully integrated into Qiddiya’s neighbouring attractions, bringing entertainment, sports and culture together. When it comes to spectating, motorsport enthusiasts will enjoy one of the most thrilling and immersive race experiences in the world with multiple vantage points for fans and viewing terraces at the edge of and within the track. Adrenaline-fueled attractions, experiences, and events will also surround the circuit, blending the thrills of motorsports with the vibrancy of cultural and entertainment hubs – drawing on Qiddiya’s power of play philosophy. To add to the excitement and unrivaled experience, the track will be seamlessly integrated with surrounding attractions, with the “Blade” turn rising above a music venue below and drivers racing alongside Falcon's flight, the world’s tallest, fast rollercoaster located at the neighbouring Six Flags Qiddiya City. Sections of the track will also run alongside a water theme park located in the city.
