A "street circuit" is supposed to be made out of already existing roads
A guy from Jeddah here....basically the section they are building this track is actually an existing street though they are actually renovating it and it will open for normal traffic once the race is over. Hope it helps buddy.
This is the fun part. They took some parking zones and designed the worst layout they could have possibly made, with almost none overtaking opportunities and really dangerous corners with no run-off whatsoever.
@@adriamedina2563 Yeah yeah whatever, just be grateful we're getting a new circuit
@@adriamedina2563 the layouts not that bad, this circuit on its own gets way to much hate off the political side of things
@@thecookiedistributor6658 Have you ever heard of quality not quantity?
Ah yes, a street circuit that uses absolutely no prebuilt streets with no overtaking in sight, beautiful
@Nathan_1617 roads that literally no one will use since there's nothing to see or nothing built around it
@@izumadodoesstuffinc.6917 yeah and why they drive on squiggly lines and not straight line
@@izumadodoesstuffinc.6917 Oh yes, as we all know the area is from now on unable to be built on in the future so there will never be any buildings there or anything, right?
This comment section really is shining with its stupidity.
Yeah, they're using an interesting definition of "street circuit" here - basically a circuit with walls.
This doesn't fit any definition of a street circuit apart from that. There's no city, there's no uneven road surfaces.... there's even a banked corner. Don't go around many of them on my daily commute.
There will be lots of passes... But all of them will likely be DRS highway overtakes
This track has more rights than the country itself.
Still more than what west provided wherever they invaded
Lol
@@heisenberg4763 lol...the people your talking about are the ones who guard this countries oil when Saddam attack Kuwait.

Thanks for making me spit my coffee all over my laptop 😂
i was about to say the same thing. pretty sure they had to stone the reporter after this video for not wearing a hijab.
I'm impressed you're able to hype up this grand prix while keeping a straight face.
Money talks…. The absolute need of F1 to make more and more money means no destination is off the list, no over-accelerated construction schedule is too dangerous and FIA “safety delegate” Masi apparently sees no problem with the Saudis working immigrant labour to breaking point in patently unsafe working conditions just to deliver a race in time for it to make untold millions of dollars for people who take no risks. F1 “we race as one”, unless there’s money involved in which case “we don’t give a ****”! Everyone who works in F1 should be speaking out against this instead of being complicit. Charlie Whiting would never have allowed it.
Its just like any other grand prix .... 30 % of them are added by money just like USA and Monaco.
F1 probably told them to talk a lot about the speed of the circuit and of its construction, and avoid mentioning pretty much anything else!
@@PVflying "We race as one...... unless it affects our money!"
If you get paid enough, you can get excited about anything
"It's not gonna look like a street circuit, and yet it is a street circuit"
Ah yes, because Sochi was such a staple of fine circuit design.
What defines a street circuit anyway? Monaco is a street circuit, because it's raced on actual streets. This is a street circuit because.....it has concrete barriers instead of gravel traps?
@@Muggles87 yeah so strange that they call this a street circuit... Macau, Monaco, Le Mans, Baku, Melbourne are all street circuits, but this is a purpose built racetrack, none of this would be there if there wasn't going to be a race there, so why is this not called just a regular racetrack?
they build the road for the street-circuit where they want it.
No citizen would ride there .
I'd say that goal was already achieved by Albert Park. Every new fan usually mistakes Albert Park for a permanent circuit.
The track looks as ready as me when I get up at 6:30am to go to school

As i said in the beggining the first time they showed it in simulation, it justs looks way too dangerous. They keep it calling super-fast and yet there's no escape zones. I'm really really worried about this. A street circuit with these speed values with these formulas are a big threat.
Fingers crossed for no big accidents with fatal injuries.
They have SAFER barriers like NASCAR ovals so probably no fatalities, that being said you know you've built a dangerous track when you implement a feature used in pack racing like Indy or NASCAR. And the lack of run off is appalling, they're gonna red flag the session every time a little debris is on the track
Add to all that saudi marshals without any experience of hosting something faster than horse racing and the lack of finished infrastructure - it will be extremely dangerous.
And the fact that the tarmac will be completely fresh, new and have zero grip whatsoever
This might be a bit scary. I especially hope the total fight doesn’t end in one of them crashing at this venue
Totally agree
The sentence: „There is no moment where the construction stands still“ makes me worrying about the working quality from all the workers there
The workers are skilled. They’re working in SA under duress as indentured labourers in horrible conditions and little to no freedoms but there is no doubting that they are highly skilled builders.
@@rupertbrice774 I don’t doubt they are skilled at what they do, it’s more the fact that absolutely nobody was working during this whole video lol

Where's the "street" element of this street circuit? It's as much of a street circuit as Imola, it's all purpose built...
I think they're calling it a Street Circuit because it's narrow, not because is on the road 🤔
Singapore has a little part of Circuit, but it's mainly on streets. This is pure Circuit tho
I’d say it’s as much of a “street” circuit as the Nurburgring, sure it is technically a public road but it was built to be used for racing, not for everyday road car use. With tracks like Marina Bay and Monaco, the streets were laid out first for public use, later being repurposed as a race track. Therefore the Cheddar “street” circuit is not as such, it’s a “semi-permanent” *purpose built* track, as it was built for the purpose of racing.
@@GustavoMcLovin not just narrow, but there are no runoff areas
3:41 can't believe they're actually priding themselves on having the "fastest dangerous blind section on a street circuit". Street circuits are usually slower for a reason, and circuits that are ultra-fast while being lined with walls like american ovals don't have blind spots. Designing a street circuit to be ultra-fast with blind spots is just a foolish endeavour. Just hoping no one gets hurt.
This is all looking like it might be a disaster. Human rights violations of Saudi Arabia aside, this circuit is going to be even faster than Baku, while also having faster blind corners. It's also nowhere near finished.
I know right? Hey let's add a DANGEROUS blind section. Heaven forbid a car has a problem in that corner while other are speeding up behind it
Street circuits are slow????????!
@@qualeo9124 "usually slower". Monaco and Singapore are the two slowest tracks, and Baku is not the third only because there's a 'straight' (with dangerously blind kinks, too) that is a third of the total length of the track.
@Low Pressure The only way someone who willingly admits on a PR video that they added a "fast dangerous blind section" knows what they're doing is if what they're doing is designing a track to purposefully be dangerous, and it has not supposed to be the point of F1 for about 50 years now.
No matter how hard f1 tries. F1 will never be the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Saudi.
Formula 1 brings a culture of rationality, thinking, sophistication, practicality, respect for human ability and most of all - a love for living with one's head held straight.

F1 drivers don't just jump in the car, you know? They do analyse the track and will easily know braking points and every corner. Besides, do you not want the drivers challenged? Do you just want every corner to be the same with the same amount of risk? I would rather the driver was challenged as safety has improved so much other the years anyway. Doesn't stop us from these big accidents of course, however if the driver isn't challenged then F1 loses it's thrill factor. These are professionals you know, they know how to drive these cars 😂
The biggest safety risk is to the construction workers being put under impossible pressure to complete the track in an unrealistic timescale. There will certainly be accidents as you cannot have safe working practices under such conditions. F1 should know better. They bear the responsibility for this.
I can see a crash in qually here with a flying lap hitting the back of someone on their warm up
It’s actually every motorsports’ priority now though
A lot of peoples favourite corner is eua rouge/radillion and that's dangerous. The sport will never be 100% safe. But bragging up a corner as dangerous is terrible choice of words!
Cant wait for this race ! Super excited
You know this kinda reminds me of that Amazon warehouse built in the middle of the slums
This is the most fake excitement I’ve ever seen 😂
Las Vegas circuit was so spectacular in comparison
How can you call it a street circuit when all of the “streets” need to be build new💀
renovating preexisting streets i believe
Looks like the fresh tarmac will be as grippy as last year in turkey ;)
Would be nice to know, when this was taken, I really hope it is older than it looks...
Will Vettel wear his Hungarian rainbow shirt again?
“It’s impresive we’ve done this in less than 12 months, it’s been quite the challenge”…yeah, i’m sure the Indians working 24/7 with little to no pay would agree with your struggles at your AC’d Office away from the building site
not just indians but yes
Source?
@@jakubjilek3767 living in the Middle East and gulf countries’ reputation with their sub-continent workers and human rights track record
@@jakubjilek3767 what source ?? Most of workers are from Indian subcontinent..also some from Philippines ...Almost none from KSA...
Again, I ask how can you with confidence say this is the case of this circuit construction
Nothing says "we race as one" more than a race in Saudi Arabia.
They did say the race would open up saudi to the rest of the world
@@giancarloabiera they'll say everything when money is right. They have zero morals.
They truly would race as one when all the race calendar will be in U.S. or at least Britain
@@RCmaniac667 You've heard about Guantanamo, right?
Still miles better than Saudi arabia
“It’s not gonna look like a street circuit but it will be a street circuit”
*sad melbourne noises*
This race is going to be settled in qualifying first come first served
Also new tarmac no grip= unhappy drivers
Looking forward to Seb wearing a "We race as one" rainbow dress, in the build up to this race.
@Ryan Lane we actually care for Seb...
Cringe
@MrMotoGP, or will "disappear" into the Saudi Embassy.
"İt's rights out and away we go!"
I race so much in Hanoi in F1 games that I started to like that 3rd sector of the track, I imagine I can do the same with this one
Low key I’m excited for this race!
The three consecutive DRS zones are quite crazy. I could imagine that overtakes will be already finished after two zones and then the driver who got overtaken overtakes back on the start finish straight (if there are several DRS detection zones). Then you could get a Belgium like situation where nobody wants to be in front before the last turn.
Actually you do want to pass in Eau Rouge in Spa. The detection is before that corner but the zone after. You can make it by and then pull away with DRS that way.
Yeah there shouldnt be a drs zone on the main straight. The other 2 will get you close enough to do a non drs pass which is always better to watch
The DRS zones don't seem to be overly straight. Hope they aren't dangerous, like most of this track
@@thescranstation2notbetter509 perhaps in 2022. I think we overestimate how strong the tow on F1 actually is.
