Formula E is set to race on a shortened version of Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Corniche Circuit during the 2024-25 season, the same venue which has been used for Formula 1 races.
The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Sport has given its approval for the venue to be used by the all-electric championship, which has previously raced at a street circuit in Diriyah since 2019.
The double-header is set to take place on 14-15 February, 2025, if the proposal is approved by the FIA's World Motor Sport Council with a meeting to be held in October to approve Formula E's 2024-25 calendar.
A spokesperson from Formula E said: "The Jeddah E-Prix will offer an exhilarating race experience on a modified layout of the fast and flowing Corniche street circuit, contributing to the growth of motorsport in the region.
"With its breathtaking Red Sea backdrop, the 2025 Jeddah E-Prix promises an unforgettable experience for fans and competitors alike."
