The story

Diriyah E-Prix in Diriyah

The Diriyah E-Prix is a Formula E street race held at a circuit in Diriyah, near Riyadh, running as a night race since its December 2018 debut and typically featuring doubleheader weekends, though recent reporting indicates Saudi Arabia's Formula E round may be shifting toward a Jeddah-based venue for more recent seasons.

When Formula E arrived in Diriyah in December 2018, it marked Saudi Arabia's entry into a fast-growing global motorsport series built entirely around electric racing cars, and the location chosen carried unmistakable symbolism.

02

The mystery stays covered

The event has frequently run as a doubleheader, with two races held across a single weekend, a format Formula E has used at Diriyah in multiple seasons to open or open near the start of its championship calendar
