The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is gearing up to welcome a new chapter in Saudi Arabia’s growing motorsport scene.
The circuit will come alive from August 27 to 29 for the opening round of the Saudi Toyota Time Attack Championship 2026, stimulating competitors to push their driving skills and vehicle control to the limit.
The championship is held under the supervision of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF) and managed by Bakhashab Motorsport, in partnership with Jameel Motorsport, the championship’s official partner.
Three Rounds, One Battle for Speed
The 2026 season will unfold across three rounds; all staged at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. Following the opening round, the competition will return to the circuit from September 3 to 4 for the second round, before reaching its finale from October 15 to 16.
Drivers will face a demanding test of speed and control, keeping the contest fiercely competitive throughout the season.
What Does It Take to Master the Clock?
Standing out as a pure test of speed and precision, Time Attack shifts the focus from racing against rivals to mastering every meter of the circuit.
Consequently, each competitor takes on the track individually, chasing the fastest possible lap while respecting the prescribed racing line and safety regulations.
Instead of battling for position on the track, competitors are judged according to their recorded times, positioning precision and control as the defining features of success.
The Road to the Podium Begins
The first round will unfold through a meticulously structured three-day program. Competitors will begin on August 27 with administrative checks and technical inspections, while August 28 will see drivers attend their mandatory briefing and take part in free practice sessions.
The decisive moments will arrive on August 29, bringing the competition into full focus with two races, culminating in the podium ceremony.
How Is Saudi Arabia Building Its Motorsport Future?
More boldly, the championship stands as a testament to the rapid growth of Saudi Arabia’s local motorsport ecosystem.
By offering drivers a dynamic platform to showcase their abilities and master the racing skills, the initiative further fuels promising national talent and encourage future careers in motorsport.
In this way, it also supports the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation’s broader push for expanding participation in the sport across the Kingdom.
