Description
Available in:
The Lusail International Circuit is a motor racing circuit located just outside the city of Lusail, north of Doha, Qatar. The track is 5.419 km (3.367 mi) in length, with a main straight of 1.068 km (0.664 mi). It is surrounded by artificial grass intended to stop the sand encroaching on the track.
Lusail International Circuit was the third of the desert-based circuits that sprang up at the turn of the century and is the only motorsport facility in Qatar. Lying on the outskirts of Doha, the capital city of Qatar, it is the only circuit in the region to have both FIA and FIM homologation licenses.
Considered a bike circuit for many years, it has been home to MotoGP and WorldSBK as well as regional races. Until relatively recently, major car races were something of a rarity, though the circuit began to gain prominence with the visit of the WTCC in 2015.
Now it has been catapulted to the top of the tree with the arrival of Formula One in 2021 as part of a 10-year deal signed by the QatariS.
