The organisers of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix have released details of the street circuit that will host Saudi Arabia's first Formula One race on December 5.

The 6.175km circuit is located in the country's second largest city, Jeddah, and is being billed at the fastest street race on the F1 calendar.

The layout features 27 corners, although many of them are kinks on flat-out sections, with simulations estimating an average speed of 250km/h around the lap.

The track runs along Jeddah's Corniche area, 12km north of the city centre, resulting in the circuit's distinctive layout along the coastline.
