Our Mission

Racing Riyadh is an independent intelligence platform providing institutional-grade research, analysis, and data on Riyadh's racing sector. We operate at the intersection of investment intelligence, market research, and strategic advisory — serving institutional investors, government consultants, corporate strategists, and professional advisors evaluating opportunities in Saudi Arabia's capital city.

Editorial Independence

Our analysis is produced independently of any government entity, developer, financial institution, or commercial partner. We maintain strict editorial independence to ensure our research serves reader interests exclusively. No content on this platform is influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or commercial relationships. Our editorial standards align with those of leading institutional research providers.

Our Team

The editorial team is led by Donovan Vanderbilt, an Imperial College London MBA with professional experience spanning government advisory, institutional banking, and fintech entrepreneurship. Our analysts bring expertise in Saudi Arabian market dynamics, real estate investment, capital markets, regulatory frameworks, and urban development. The team operates from Vevey, Switzerland (Canton of Vaud), with research coverage across the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Our Approach

Every analysis published on Racing Riyadh undergoes multi-source verification, drawing from official Saudi government publications (Vision 2030, PIF, CMA, MISA, REGA), institutional research (McKinsey, Deloitte, Knight Frank, JLL), financial data providers (S&P Global, Bloomberg, Reuters), and verified industry sources. We prioritize accuracy, timeliness, and analytical depth — producing intelligence that institutional decision-makers can rely upon. Our content is reviewed quarterly and updated as new data becomes available.

Why Riyadh Intelligence Matters

Saudi Arabia's capital city is deploying more capital into urban transformation than any other city on earth. With $819 billion in active construction pipeline, 5,200+ projects, Expo 2030 ($7.8 billion), FIFA 2034 ($20 billion+), and giga-projects like New Murabba ($50 billion), Diriyah Gate ($60 billion+), and KAFD, the decisions made about Riyadh in the next five years will shape global investment flows, real estate markets, and economic development patterns for decades. Accurate, independent intelligence is essential for navigating this complexity — and that is precisely what Racing Riyadh provides.

Riyadh Intelligence Network

Racing Riyadh is part of a broader network of independent intelligence platforms covering Saudi Arabia's transformation. Our sister platforms provide specialized coverage across tourism, investment, real estate, entertainment, wellness, and megaproject development — creating the most comprehensive English-language intelligence resource for Riyadh.

Coverage Scope

Racing Riyadh covers the full spectrum of racing intelligence relevant to Riyadh and the broader Saudi Arabian market. Our coverage areas include market sizing and forecasting, regulatory analysis and compliance guidance, investment opportunity identification, competitive landscape mapping, risk assessment frameworks, and strategic advisory content. We track developments across all major Saudi government initiatives, giga-project milestones, regulatory changes, and institutional investment flows that impact the racing sector.

Data Integrity

Our commitment to data integrity distinguishes Racing Riyadh from aggregation-based platforms. Every statistic published undergoes verification against primary sources — government databases, institutional research, financial filings, and official announcements. We clearly distinguish between confirmed data points, estimates, projections, and editorial analysis. When data conflicts exist between sources, we note the discrepancy and cite all relevant sources. Our analytical frameworks are original, built from verified inputs rather than recycled secondary reporting.
