(NASDAQ: EA) today added the newest, fastest and longest street circuit in Formula 1® as the final free circuit update to F1® 2021.

The track’s stunning location has given the designers the ability to create a unique track, with a focus on speed and overtaking. Players will be able to compete in-game ahead of its race debut, which could be significant in the battle for the World Championship.

Scheduled to make its F1® debut on December 3rd – 5th 2021, the FORMULA 1 STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2021 will mark its arrival in style with the newest circuit in the sport estimated to see drivers reach average speeds of 250km/h, making it the fastest street circuit in the world – and in the top five fastest F1® circuits altogether! Indeed, superstars of F1® are projected to reach top speeds of up to 322km/h.
 

Featuring no less than 27 corners, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit stretches to 6.175km in length, making it the second longest circuit on the current F1® calendar behind the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the longest street circuit in the sport.
 

Additionally, three consecutive sections of the circuit have been marked out as potential DRS Zones, ensuring plenty of overtaking opportunities for the drivers throughout the race.
 

The fact the race will take place at night under the lights will only add to the amazing atmosphere F1® fans can expect to experience in December.
