Why You Should Attend

There’s no such thing as a cold November in Qatar, where you can escape winter climates and enjoy on-track thrills at the same time! Lusail Circuit near Doha is a popular newer addition to the Formula 1 calendar and it’s a true spectacle, with the Qatar Grand Prix taking place at night. Offering a unique blend of Formula 1 racing and Qatari culture, there’s much more to this Grand Prix than what’s on-track! History, traditions and values make the event unique and a must-attend during the 2026 Formula 1 season.

Where to Watch at Lusail International Circuit

There are only a handful of grandstands to choose from at Lusail Circuit. See all the build up, pit stops and post-race celebrations from the Main Grandstand opposite the pit lane, or choose the North Grandstand to see the cars at the pit exit. Three corners of the track have grandstands - Turn 2, Turn 3 and the final corner, Turn 16. Only the covered Main Grandstand has reserved seating; seats in other stands are offered on a first come first served basis. General Admission views are also good at Lusail Circuit, with the banked area at Turn 1 being the best place to see the action.

Qatar Grand Prix History

Having been a mainstay on the MotoGP calendar for two decades, the Qatar Grand Prix finally joined the Formula 1 calendar towards the end of the 2021 season. After a year off due to the country’s World Cup hosting commitments, the event returned in 2023 and will remain on the calendar until at least the early 2030s. While Lewis Hamilton took victory in the inaugural race, Max Verstappen has been unstoppable here in recent years, winning all of the last three races at the track.
