Formula 1 races are always scheduled in a very particular manner. Fans have always taken the calendar seriously and the way the tracks are placed. People from all over the world come to these races. Even a few A-list celebrities can be spotted easily on the sidelines or pits. The circuits are always something that is looked forward to. The 2024 calendar was recently released recently.
But there are a few changes that the next Formula 1 season will see. We will be seeing some pretty long circuits. Formula 1 has had some of the most incredible circuits with some that go a long time back. The Monaco circuit is considered to be one of the oldest circuits of Formula 1.
But there are circuits that are longer than the others that are considered to be the most important ones. And here are the longest circuits that will be in the 2024 calendar.
The Longest Tracks in the F1 2024 Calendar
Circuit de Spa-Francochamps, Belgian Grand Prix
The Belgian Grand Prix has one of the longest circuits in the Formula 1 calendar. Although there are multiple crashes that have come out of the Spa Circuit. It is considered to be one of the most looked forward to. The circuit is 4.352 miles long.
The Spa circuit goes through the Kemmel Straight. That part of the track can become very dangerous very quickly. Therefore the Spa-Franccochamps circuit is considered a little risky but can still be considered a fan favorite. Spa has also had a history of accidents as many Formula Series drivers have lost their lives on this very circuit including Anthoine Hubert and most recently, Dilano van’ t Hoff.
Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is one of the most anticipated Grand Prix. This Grand Prix is a night race and gets people very excited. Although in the 2024 season, there might be a few changes.
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will be held on a Saturday instead of a Sunday. Because the occasion of Ramadhan falls on Sunday, the dates have been preponed. The circuit is 3.836 miles long.
Las Vegas Strip Street Circuit, Las Vegas Grand Prix
The circuit makes it on the top three of the longest circuits in Las Vegas. Las Vegas just like Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is a night race. This circuit is also a street circuit with beautiful motels and hotels along it. It is a fast-speed circuit.
The Las Vegas will also be shifting to Saturday instead of Sunday. The circuit is 3.802 miles long which makes it just a little longer than the Saudi Arabian circuit.
Baku Circuit, Azerbaijan Grand Prix
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix has a street circuit in Baku. The tracks are considered to be narrower than usual. The Baku race takes place at the beginning of the season. But in the 2024 season, it may not have a front-row ticket.
The Baku circuit will come into play around the end of the season as it got switched with the Japan Grand Prix. The Baku circuit is 3.730 miles long making it the fourth longest circuit.
