The **Lusail International Circuit** is a premier motor racing venue located just outside Lusail city, north of Doha, Qatar. Established in 2004 primarily for motorcycle racing, it quickly gained global recognition by hosting the inaugural Qatar MotoGP the same year. The circuit is 5.419 km long with 16 turns and is distinguished by its smooth, high-speed layout and a 1.068 km main straight that offers significant overtaking opportunities. It features artificial grass around the track to prevent desert sand intrusion, and since 2007, it has been equipped with permanent floodlights enabling spectacular night races, a unique feature enhancing its global brand[1][2][6]. Built in under a year at a cost of $58 million, Lusail initially focused on MotoGP but expanded its motorsport portfolio over time. It hosted World Superbike events (2005–2009, 2014–2019), the WTCC (2015–2017), and notably marked Qatar’s debut in Formula 1 in 2021. To meet F1’s stringent standards, the circuit underwent extensive renovations before the 2023 season, including upgraded pit and paddock facilities, expanded seating capacity from 8,000 to 40,000+, and the world’s longest pit lane building (402.1 meters) with 50 pit boxes—the largest of any F1 circuit. The renovation also introduced multiple track configurations to support a variety of motorsport events simultaneously, enhancing operational versatility[1][3][7]. Lusail International Circuit now hosts key global events like the Qatar Grand Prix under a long-term contract through 2032, the FIA World Endurance Championship’s Qatar 1812 KM race, and remains a cornerstone of the MotoGP calendar. Its development aligns with Qatar’s National Vision 2030, emphasizing economic growth and sustainable motorsport initiatives.
