Formula E, the all-electric ABB FIA Formula E World Championship lights up the 
streets of Diriyah as it returns to the historic desert surroundings of UNESCO 
World Heritage Site At-Turaif for the third year in a row. The night race,

proud to have hosted the Diriyah E-Prix in collaboration with the Kingdom of 
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Sport, bringing the international racing community 
to Saudi Arabia for one of the first major global sporting events since the

UNESCO World Heritage site At-Turaif came alive, showcasing the revolutionary 
potential of this motorsport. We congratulate all teams that took part in the 
first ever all-electric night race for ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. It 
was a truly unforgettable experience."
