Jeddah to host Season 12\u2019s first double-header on February 13\u201314, marking the move from Diriyah to the Red Sea coast<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nissan Formula <\/a><\/strong>E Team returns to Saudi Arabia as Jeddah hosts Rounds 4 and 5 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on February 13 and 14, 2026, marking the first double-header weekend of Season 12. The races take place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, reinforcing Nissan\u2019s commitment to electric motorsport and the Kingdom\u2019s growing role on the global racing calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The Jeddah E-Prix represents Nissan\u2019s second appearance in the city following the championship\u2019s move from Diriyah, where Formula E was hosted for five seasons. The transition to Jeddah reflects the continued evolution of international motorsport in Saudi Arabia, with the Red Sea coastline providing a new and distinctive setting for the series\u2019 first double-header of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nissan arrives in Jeddah as the reigning Formula E World Drivers\u2019 Champion<\/strong>, following a highly successful Season 11. The team has carried that momentum into Season 12 with a strong start, securing podium finishes in both S\u00e3o Paulo and Mexico City, underlining its consistency and front-running performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formula E serves as Nissan\u2019s primary global platform to develop and prove electric vehicle performance, energy management, and software-led innovation. The championship plays a direct role in transferring advanced technology from the racetrack to everyday road cars, reinforcing Nissan\u2019s long-term commitment to electric mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current GEN3 Evo<\/strong> car represents the most advanced Formula E package to date. With record-breaking acceleration, all-wheel drive capability, and enhanced efficiency, it showcases Nissan\u2019s leadership in high-performance electric mobility without relying on complex technical comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nissan\u2019s participation in Formula E builds on more than 85 years of motorsport heritage<\/strong>, using racing as a platform to push performance boundaries and accelerate innovation from track to road. This legacy continues to shape Nissan\u2019s approach to electrification and sustainable mobility worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit provides a fast and flowing urban layout that blends long high-speed sections with technical corners. Its setting along the Red Sea creates a distinctive backdrop while placing an emphasis on strategy, energy efficiency, and overtaking opportunities across the double-header weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal, Nissan Formula E Team, said:
<\/strong>\u201cIt is always a pleasure to return to Saudi Arabia, and to be back in Jeddah after such a successful first race weekend here last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first double-header of Season 12 presents a demanding challenge for the team, with two different races across the weekend and a very short preparation window. Following Miami, we have taken the learnings on board, addressed the key areas for improvement, and arrive in Jeddah with confidence and strong motivation to compete at the front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is a particularly important market for us, and our close collaboration with Electromin since 2024 has played a key role in strengthening the Nissan brand both regionally and globally. We are proud to continue this partnership and to race here in our partner\u2019s home country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adib Takieddine, Managing Director of Nissan Saudi Arabia, added:
<\/strong>\u201cFormula E is a strategic global platform for Nissan, showcasing our commitment to electric mobility and innovation. Hosting the championship in Jeddah reflects Saudi Arabia\u2019s growing role on the international motorsport stage, while our partnership with Petromin reinforces our long-term commitment to supporting the Kingdom\u2019s evolving mobility landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the race circuit, Nissan is bringing the excitement of Formula E closer to the public through a fan-facing activation at Red Sea Mall<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activation offers visitors an opportunity to experience electric racing up close and engage with Nissan\u2019s vision of innovation and electrified performance, aligned with the brand\u2019s Innovation that Excites<\/em> philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nissan\u2019s involvement in Formula E reflects a long-term strategic vision<\/strong> that extends beyond motorsport, positioning the championship as a global platform to accelerate electric mobility, develop future-ready technologies and transfer innovation from the racetrack to everyday road cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Saudi Arabia, this vision aligns with the Kingdom\u2019s transformation agenda, as Nissan continues to invest in innovation, partnerships and experiences that support the future of sustainable mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
