Flat, quick and right by the sea. This Saudi Arabia racing game runs a race track shaped like Saudi Arabia, starting on the Hasa Plain and heading up the Gulf coast past Al-Qatif, down through Ash Sharqiyah to Najran, then over the Asir Mountains and along the Tihāmah to Makkah and Jeddah. It turns north at the Gulf of Aqaba and finishes across Al Jawf and the Syrian Desert.
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is a harbour corniche with just 8 metres of climb, in the spirit of Jeddah's fast street track.

Around the Saudi Arabia track
The Kingdom Centre tower rises over the city, and Masmak Fort stands in mud brick nearby. Along the corniche a fountain throws water high above the sea. Camels wait at the edge of the dunes, a Hegra rock tomb sits out in the desert, and Gulf towers line the waterfront. Land Cruisers, SUVs and even a camel are parked by the fences. The boards read Jeddah, Riyadh, Neom, Dammam and Asir.
