NIGHT RACING

Grand Prix of Qatar Experience

A distinctive MotoGP weekend beneath the floodlights of Lusail, where the circuit’s night-racing character shapes the atmosphere from first track action to race day.

Overview

Qatar Under the Floodlights

The Grand Prix of Qatar brings MotoGP to Lusail International Circuit, a 5.38-kilometre circuit near Doha that has hosted the championship since 2004. Qatar became the first venue to stage a floodlit MotoGP Grand Prix in 2008, establishing night racing as a defining part of the event’s identity. The 2026 edition is scheduled for 6–8 November 2026, rather than the original April dates supplied for this experience. MotoGP officially moved the Qatar Grand Prix to November in 2026, citing the ongoing geopolitical situation in the Middle East and the objective of ensuring the safety and wellbeing of participants and attendees. Across three days, the experience centres on the rhythm of a MotoGP race weekend: competitive track activity, qualifying, the sprint format and the main Grand Prix, subject to the final published event schedule. The setting adds another dimension, with the Lusail circuit’s permanent lighting allowing the racing to unfold after dark.
