<span data-olk-copy-source=”MessageBody”>The Formula 1 STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has been named ‘Best Event Spectacle’ at the F1 Promoter Awards, which took place in London, UK yesterday.
The award recognises the F1 Promoter that has delivered the most impressive off-track event spectacle, including entertainment, concerts, and fan activations that enhance the race weekend experience alongside on-track action.
Staged at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, the world’s fastest street circuit, the FORMULA 1 STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX has quickly become one of Formula 1’s most spectacular night races, combining high-speed racing with a fully integrated programme of fan engagement, live entertainment, and immersive activations for audiences of all ages.
Since its debut in December 2021, the event has become as famous for its off-track entertainment as for its adrenaline-fuelled racing. Past Grands Prix have featured global superstars including Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Travis Scott, Swedish House Mafia, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, and Usher performing on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit Main Stage after racing concluded. In 2026, fans can expect another world-class entertainment lineup, further cementing Jeddah’s position as a leading destination for sport and entertainment.
HRH Prince Khalid bin Sultan Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal, Chairman of Saudi Motorsport Company (SMC), was thrilled with the nomination: “This award is the result of years of dedication, collaboration, and vision from everyone involved in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – from our teams on the ground to the fans who bring the event to life each year. Beyond the incredible on-track action, our goal has always been to create a welcoming and immersive race weekend that offers something for everyone by delivering the very best in live entertainment, interactive fan zones and an unrivalled atmosphere that makes Jeddah a truly unique F1 fan destination. We are grateful to Formula 1 for its ongoing partnership and support, which has allowed us to continually raise the bar for what a Grand Prix can be.”
2026: New Cars, New Teams, New Champion
With five thrilling races to its name, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has established itself as one of the most exciting events on the Formula 1 calendar. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit remains the longest and fastest street circuit in the sport, with drivers averaging 252 km/h and spending 79% of each lap at full throttle.
The 2026 season promises a landmark year: featuring all-new cars designed for closer, more unpredictable racing, the addition of Cadillac as an 11th team, and Audi’s long-awaited debut. Jeddah will also welcome a new reigning World Champion, with McLaren’s Lando Norris defending his title against four-time champion Max Verstappen and teammate Oscar Piastri.
F1 Academy will also return, showcasing the next generation of female racing talent, while fans can once again look forward to a world-class live music programme, with major acts to be announced soon.
