The track will be a mixture of street circuit roads through the exhibition building area and a smaller section of permanent track that will be built on adjacent land that has yet to be developed.
The two parts are split by an elevated highway and will be connected by a pair of tunnels that pass underneath it.
F1 compares the hybrid nature of the new venue to Miami, which also features a combination of existing roads and purpose-built sections.
One of the key players behind the layout is F1’s head of vehicle performance Craig Wilson, who has played a role in track design since the start of the Liberty Media era, having been hired by Ross Brawn in 2017.
The former Mercedes and Williams engineer uses simulations and data as part of an ongoing effort to create tracks where good racing is possible.
“From the very first suggestion to where we’ve ended up, there’s been about 24 track models,” Wilson told the F1 website.
“But then there’s been numerous sub-model investigations and different details as well. We’ve now got a concept that we’re happy to proceed development with, and we’re very excited to see it take shape.”
