Lusail International Circuit

🇶🇦 Lusail · Katar · UTC

The Lusail International Circuit is located approximately 20 kilometers north of Doha in Qatar and was constructed in just over one year in 2004. The 5.419-kilometer-long circuit was originally designed for motorcycle racing and is surrounded by artificial grass to prevent desert sand from reaching the track surface. The circuit is particularly renowned for its impressive floodlighting system, which enabled the first-ever night race in MotoGP history in 2008. Since then, it has regularly hosted MotoGP, Formula 1, and other major international motorsport events. The next event here is Moto3 - Grand Prix of Qatar on Friday, 6 November 2026. Here you will find all upcoming races in Lusail with schedule and broadcast, plus the previous winners.
