You would expect Saudi to go all out and not let themselves be outdone on spectacle by Miami and Vegas, but this is more than even I expected. That turn one is straight out of Mario Kart.

It's a Tilke design. I know he gets a lot of hate, but we know he can do good work, especially when he gets free reign to play with elevation changes (which isn't often, granted). COTA is a top 5 track on the calendar, in my opinion.

This Qiddiya track looks like one of his more interesting attempts, I'm really curious to see how it plays out in a race. Some of those sweeping sections being on a steep uphill incline look sick.
